Overview

Features and benefits

  • Three operation modes in one device

    The Ixxat CANblue II can be used as PC interface, bridge or gateway – all in one device.

  • PC operation mode with VCI driver support

    The Ixxat VCI driver package enables easy integration into PC-based Ixxat applications and customer-specific programs. Ideal for configuration, analysis and maintenance.

  • Bridge mode with multiple devices

    The bridge mode establishes a CAN-Bluetooth-CAN bridge with two or more CANblue II devices. Ensuring seamless, transparent message exchange independent of the used protocol.

  • ASCII/binary protocol mode

    Simple ASCII commands and optimized CAN binary messages enable CAN message exchange for "non-Windows" systems or embedded platforms as well as for device configuration.

  • Easy wireless transmission up to 200 m

    Easy connection of remote systems, moving or difficult to access components or bridging of slip ring connections.

  • High-performance transmission with low latency

    High-speed data transfer with minimal delays, ensuring efficient and prompt data delivery.

  • Overvoltage protection

    Galvanic isolation safeguards against overvoltage and protects from potential electrical damage.

  • For usage with external antenna

    To utilize the CANblue II, an external antenna is available for separate purchase – enabling range extension and customizing it to meet specific coverage needs.

  • Seamless PC operation under Windows and Linux

    Powerful driver packages enable easy integration into PC-based Ixxat applications and customer-specific programs.

  • Analysis software included

    Ixxat canAnalyser3 Mini is included in the VCI V4 download package and enables first steps in analyzing and monitoring CAN networks.
