5.2.2. CAN
Connect the device interfaces to the CAN bus whose data you want to log or send. For test purposes, connect the
device to a PC using a communication gateway (e.g. CANview USB).
The CAN connection terminal CAN-High and CAN-Low signals must match the signals of the connector on the device.
You can connect Ground of the supply connector with CAN-GND because there is no galvanic isolation.
The following table provides an overview of the CAN bit rates in relation to the bus length:
In any bus system, signal reflections at the end of a wire or cable can cause interference which can in turn cause
transmission errors. To minimize these reflections, place a terminator at each end of transmission lines. The
terminating resistance between CAN-High and CAN-Low must match the characteristic impedance of the transmission
cables. In CAN bus networks, normally unshielded, twisted cable pairs are used for signal transmission. The
characteristic impedance of the transmission lines is roughly 120 Ohm. The terminator between CAN-High and CAN-
Low must be 120 Ohm.

NOTICE
Inadequate radio connection
The radio connection is affected by any obstacles and interference.
- Choose the mounting location so that as few obstructions as possible can influence the radio
connection.
- When installing, observe the required minimum distance to other antennas and radio devices.
- Avoid interference with other wireless networks.
- Do not stick additional labels on the device. Depending on the nature of the material, these
stickers can severely impair the signal quality. Relevant for CANlink wireless 4001 with internal
antenna.
- The integrator must not modify the device (i.e. place RF-damping labels on it) or mount the
device in such a way, that antenna performance is influenced.
- Implement a control-side end-to-end connection monitoring
It is the full responsibility of the integrator, to integrate the device in his application in such
a way, that an adequate antenna performance is achieved, and the regulatory requirements
are fulfilled.
INFORMATION
Please be aware that the measured performance values from chapter Interfaces were determined
in the free field without significant interference or signal dampening.
The maximum range, latency and the possible message throughput may vary considerably
depending on the environmental influences, setup condition, the used antennas and, if applicable,
the hardware installed for the WLAN infrastructure.
Please consider these values just as approximate reference values which can be achieved in a
specific test setup under ideal conditions.
It is the system integrators responsibility to verify the connection stability and performance under
real ambient conditions as part of the final application and setup.
CANlink wireless 4000 Device Manual

CANlink wireless 4000 Device Manual
5.4.3. Internal Antenna
The internal antenna of the CANlink wireless variant 4001 is located on the top side of the PCB, therefore it is
recommended to mount the device in such a way that the top side also has the best possible alignment and free sight
to its peer. Please refer to figure Antenna positioning.
When using a setup with external antennas, it is also mandatory that the antennas have free sight to each other and
are not blocked by any housing materials or other signal dampening materials.
NOTICE
Reduced antenna gain
Problems with the radio connection can be caused by insufficient antenna alignment,
interferences, and RF-damping labels.
- Do not stick RF-damping labels onto the housing of the device
Below you will find some important notes regarding the antenna setup.
CANlink wireless 4000 Device Manual
NOTICE
Inadequate radio connection
The radio connection is affected by any obstacles and interference.
- The antenna cable should be as short as possible to keep signal loss on the cable as low as
possible.
- Do not extend the antenna cable. Only use the antennas which are supplied as accessories by
Proemion. Bring the radio module closer to the antenna or order an alternative antenna with a
longer antenna cable.
- An antenna, particularly outside, should be positioned as high as possible. This allows you to
improve the range. This keeps the Fresnel zone clear – the higher, the better.
- Always protect connections on the outside cables, junctions, and antennas with protective tape.
- The external antenna is not to be used as lightning arrester. Select the position of the antenna
carefully, use surge protector and do not route the antenna cable parallel to a lightning arrester.
- In the case of insufficient stability of the mounting, the quality of your antenna alignment can be
reduced. When mounting the antenna, also think about wind and other outside influences such as
ice and snow.
- Install the antenna in an open area, as far away as possible from any obstacles such as
buildings, trees, other antennas, or metal objects.
- In case that there is a second antenna installed, calculate the minimum distance. The horizontal
distance between antennas should be greater than 1/4 of its wavelength (absolute minimum
separation), but it should not be located at the exact multiples of its wavelength (maybe avoid the
first 3-4 multiples).
- Establish a sufficient ground connection to the pole, the device, the antenna and surge
protection.
- In case of using the antenna supplied in the hardware kit: Ensure that the minimum bending
radius of the antenna cables is 8 times the outer diameter.

Due to restricted pairing readiness, such as when the device is configured for WiFi mode, it is
strongly recommended to create an archive before and after each configuration installation. In the
event that a device cannot be connected to the configurator right away due to a specific
configuration, a reset must be carried out to re-establish a connection with the CANlink wireless
configurator. This deletes the customer-specific configuration and must be reinstalled. In order to
have a backup that is as up-to-date as possible for restoring the configuration in such cases, it is
recommended to create a support archive after making any changes.
CANlink wireless 4000 Device Manual
6.1.2. Tooltips
Additional information regarding individual configuration options in CANlink wireless configurator software can be
found within the Tooltips. Always use the latest version of CANlink wireless configurator software with the updated
tool tips.
The CANlink wireless configurator software starts by default with the basic configuration options. This allows the user
to focus onto the essential settings to get a new device configured. In some cases it may necessary to enable the
Advanced Settings, therefore please click on Options ¬ Advanced Settings.
This chapter provides information on how to use and configure CAN functions.
CANlink wireless 4000 Device Manual
6.2.1. CAN / CANopen
The CANlink wireless 4000 supports the transmission of pure CAN messages to another device. No direct protocol
interpretation is configured in the firmware. This makes it possible to use the device for different applications with
various CAN transport protocols. The protocol logic must be implemented in the other device (e.g. in the PC software).
An example is the implementation within the CANopen section of the RM CAN-Device Monitor software.
The CANopen stack prevents the transmission of some CAN messages such as CANopen RX SDOs, TX SDOs, and
emergency messages. These messages are received by the device’s CANopen stack and processed to the radio
Interface without being forwarded on. It is possible to configure the device for connection control via CANopen. In that
case, the device does not transmit messages with certain CAN identifiers. The following table shows messages that
are used by the device but not transmitted when the CANopen stack is enabled.
1. To enable the CANopen stack, the Advanced Settings must be activated within the CANlink wireless 4000
Configurator first. Refer to Enable Advanced Settings.
2. In the CANopen field of the Device tab enable the checkbox CANopen communication during active
wireless connection.
The corresponding CAN identifiers for the specific CANopen node ID are calculated and displayed
within the CANopen field.
CANlink wireless 4000 Device Manual
6.2.3. Boot-Up message
Directly after startup, the device optionally transmits a CANopen boot-up message with its own node ID.
1. To enable the Boot-Up message, the Advanced Settings must be activated within the CANlink wireless
configurator software first. Refer to Enable Advanced Settings.
2. In the CANopen field of the Device tab enable the checkbox Enable boot-up message.
When this function is enabled, the device expects an acknowledge message from another bus
participant. If no acknowledge message is received, for instance while no other CAN bus
participant is active, the LED changes to error mode according to chapter Indicator Element (LED).
CANlink wireless 4000 Device Manual
6.2.4. Filter received CAN messages
The device offers the option of configuring message filters. This allows you to reduce the transmission load and
ensure that the CAN bus only transmits certain CAN messages.
In the CAN Receive tab of the CANlink wireless 4000 Configurator you can set filter masks and activate or deactivate
individual bits for the comparison function of online CAN objects. You can individually filter up to 8 separate CAN
identifiers with unique online CAN objects and downsample them if necessary.
A CAN message that does not match the receive filter of an online CAN object is passed on to the next active online
CAN object and checked again. If the number of CAN identifiers to be filtered is less than eight, you can assign a
unique CAN identifier to each online CAN object. Use the filter mask 0x7FF for 11-bit or 0x1FFFFFFF for 29-bit CAN
identifiers to filter individual CAN identifiers separately.
Some examples are described in more detail below.
INFORMATION
To check if a CAN identifier transmits a certain filter mask, perform the following logical operations
bit by bit:
CAN identifier received XOR configured CAN identifier = CAN_ID
CAN_ID AND filter mask = 0
The CAN message is rejected if the result is not 0.
Example 1:
0x123 XOR 0x621 = 0x702
0x702 AND 0x0F8 = 0 ¬ CAN message accepted
Example 2:
0x123 XOR 0x631 = 0x721
0x721 AND 0x0F8 = 0x010 ¬ CAN message rejected
TIP
Use DOWNSAMPLING to reduce the number of messages to be transmitted by the radio
Interface. The configured value (e.g. 20 x 10 ms for 200 ms) delays the reception or transmission
of CAN messages accordingly. A value of 0 x 10 ms disables the delay.
To prevent data loss, only use DOWNSAMPLING with filters for individual CAN identifiers!
CAN messages with a CAN identifier 0x123 are received. CAN messages with a different CAN identifier are filtered
out and forwarded to the next online CAN object.
CAN messages with the CAN identifiers 0x123, 0x124, and 0x125 are transmitted. The required filter mask must be
determined using an XNOR gate. Other CAN messages that comply with the filter mask (e.g. 0x120, 0x121, 0x122,
etc.) are also received. CAN messages with other CAN identifiers are forwarded to the next online CAN object.
CAN messages with the CAN identifiers 0x123, 0x124, and 0x125, 0x621, and 0x726 are transmitted. The required
filter mask must be determined using an XNOR gate. Other CAN messages that comply with the filter mask are also
received. CAN messages with other CAN identifiers are not received, but forwarded to the next online CAN object.
To perform a firmware update, you need the Proemion Firmware Programmer software and a CAN connection with the
device via a CANview USB.
