AIM104-CAN Technical Manual Introduction

Handling your board safely

Anti-static handling

This board contains CMOS devices. These could be damaged in the event of static

electricity being discharged through them. Observe anti-static precautions at all times

when handling circuit boards. This includes storing boards in appropriate anti-static

packaging and wearing a wrist strap when handling them.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

The AIM104-CAN is classified as a ‘component’ with regard to the European

Community EMC regulations and it is the user’s responsibility to ensure that systems

using the board are compliant with the appropriate EMC standards.

The opto-isolation provides a good barrier for noise emissions generated by the high

frequency host PC/104 system. The AIM104-CAN includes additional filter components

on-board to minimise the emissions of high frequency noise. Because of this, the earth

tab supplied with the module must be connected to the chassis of the system by a

good earth wire.

If the electronic system requires input protection against high voltage transients (to

meet CE requirements), it is recommended that an external interface board is located

at the point where the external wiring enters the electronic system enclosure:

Packaging

Should a board need to be returned to Eurotech Ltd, please ensure that it is

adequately packed, preferably in the original packing material.

AIM104-CAN Technical Manual Description

Description

The AIM104-CAN uses the Philips 82C200 device to handle all aspects of the CAN

communications protocol.

The 32 registers of the 82C200 are mapped directly into the I/O space of the module

and are accessed by standard input and output operations from the host CPU board.

An interrupt can be generated by the 82C200 upon certain conditions occurring

(transmit, receive, and error conditions), which is routed to IRQ2,3,4,5,6, or 7 by a link.

The AIM104-CAN does not support PC/104 interrupt sharing.

In addition to the registers of the 82C200, the AIM104-CAN implements two other

registers. One register is used to access the on-board E²PROM and the other for

accessing the off-board indicator LEDs (nominally three bi-colour LEDs).

Full software support for the CAN driver device, the E²PROM, and the indicator LEDs

is provided in the AIM104-CAN software library (see Appendix B – Software library

page 18

, for further details). In addition, higher-level protocol support may be

purchased from Eurotech Ltd. Contact Eurotech Ltd sales (see page 17

for further

details).

AIM104-CAN Technical Manual I/O map

LED register

The LED register is used to light three external bi-colour LEDs. All bits are write only:

7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

Reserved LED2.1 LED2.0 LED1.1 LED1.0 LED0.1 LED0.0

Writing a logic 1 to any bit position causes the corresponding output to go low (active).

After reset all bits are logic 0. You should write reserved bits as logic 0.

PROM register

The E

PROM register directly accesses the serial lines on a 93C46 serial E²PROM, as

shown in the register below. All implemented bits are read/write except the DO bit,

which is read only:

7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

Reserved SCK CS DI DO

Writing a logic 1 to a bit causes the corresponding signal on the E

PROM to go high; a

logic zero makes the signal low. After reset, all bits in this register are logic 0. You

should write all reserved bits as logic 0 for future software compatibility.

PROM contents

The E

PROM on the AIM104-CAN is shipped from the factory with a default

programming. This information is divided into two records. Both records are readable

using the supplied software, but only the second record is writeable.

Data is organised in 16-bit words and, for larger data units, the byte order is as follows:

First data word Second word

Object type

Most sig byte Least sig byte Most sig byte Least sig byte

Byte arrays (strings) 2nd byte 1st byte 4th byte 3rd byte

32-bit number Least significant word Most significant word

The default contents of the data is shown in the following tables.

AIM104-CAN Technical Manual Links

Links

The following diagrams illustrate the link positions:

Link position diagram (address is 180h)

AIM104-CAN Technical Manual Links

LK1 - Address link

LK1 is the address decode link, on which the desired board base address is set.

The base address can be set on any 32 byte boundary and 34 bytes are

decoded. A successful decode to any of these 34 locations will cause the

red module access LED to light momentarily.

LK2 - Interrupt link

LK2 is the interrupt select link. This can be set for IRQ2 through to IRQ7.

IRQ2 maps onto IRQ9 in an AT type PC host CPU.

This module does not support PC/104 interrupt sharing.

Certain PC/104 host boards may not be able to use all of the possible link options. Use

the following table as a guide:

Link position

PC compatible

Target386EX Target188EB

IRQ2

IRQ3

IRQ4

IRQ5

9 9 9

IRQ6

IRQ7

9 9 9

LK3 - Controlled slew rate link

LK3 is the slew rate control link. You can remove it at baud rates below 250Kbaud for a

slower slew on the CAN signals. This may reduce EMC emissions on unscreened

twisted pair wiring.

LK4 and LK5 - Line termination links

LK4 and LK5 are used to attach the CAN termination network. If the AIM104-CAN is at

an end of the CAN bus, you should attach terminations. To attach the termination both

links should be fitted. If no termination is required both links should be removed.

Consult your PC AT manual to see if these IRQs are committed to other devices.

PL2 is used for both the isolated CAN line drivers and the non-isolated

indicator LEDs. Care should be taken to separate the appropriate signals.

The power for the LEDs is not protected in any way and should not be

used for driving any apparatus other than the indicator LEDs.

The ribbon cable can be split to form a standard CiA 9-way D-sub CAN connection:

Alternatively, Eurotech Ltd can supply panel mountable breakout boards with mounted

bi-colour LEDs for D-sub and screw terminal (DeviceNet) cabling. Please contact

Eurotech Ltd sales (see page 17

) and enquire about SERTDNET.

AIM104-CAN Technical Manual Isolated CAN transceiver

Isolated CAN transceiver

The CAN transceiver on the AIM104-CAN is optically isolated from the PC/104

interface and requires external powering in order to function. A regulator on the isolated

side of the circuit allows a wide range of voltage input (on the V+/V-) from 9V to 27V.

The V- signal is the nominal ground reference for the line driver. A protection circuit

prevents damage to the line drivers should this signal become disconnected and all the

other signals remain connected.

The optical isolation is designed to prevent ground loops and voltage drop causing

problems on a distributed CAN bus system. Although the isolation voltage is in excess

on 48V, the isolation must not be used as a safety feature.

AIM104-CAN Technical Manual Appendix B – Software library

Appendix B – Software library

The AIM104-CAN is a more specialised module than the other modules in the range,

and the software structure is slightly different to accommodate this.

Installing the software

The system requirements for the AIM104-CAN software are the same as for the

general AIM104 libraries. The setup program installs the following directory

organisation for the CAN software:

In order to correctly access the header files and libraries, you will need to either move

them to your development directories or configure your compiler/linker so that the

necessary files can be ‘seen’. Refer to your compiler documentation for information

about how to do this.

Full documentation

An electronic copy of this AIM104-CAN Technical Manual is provided in the ‘DOC’

folder of the above directory structure. You can view the manual on screen or print off a

copy for reference.

AIM104-CAN Technical Manual Appendix B – Software library

ArCan library functions

Data types

The ArCan software uses a number of elemental data types as follows:

Data type Description

UINT8 Unsigned 8-bit integer.

UINT16 Unsigned 16-bit integer.

UINT 32 Unsigned 32-bit integer.

SINT8 Signed 8-bit integer.

SINT16 Signed 16-bit integer.

SINT32 Signed 32-bit integer.

CAN A data structure used as a ‘handle’ once CAN communications

are initialised.

CAN_MSG A data structure that embodies both the CAN identifier, message

size, and data.

Initialisation routines

Before the CAN hardware can be used you need to initialise the module and obtain a

handle to the channel.

To Initialise a CAN channel and return a handle, use:

CAN far *can_open(UINT16 ioaddr, SINT16 irqnum, UINT16 bufsiz, UINT32 baud)

To clear the CAN hardware and free all resources, use:

void can_close(CAN far *can)

Communication routines

Use the communication routines to effect communications on the CAN bus.

To transmit a message on the bus through the ring buffers, use:

SINT16 can_send(CAN far *can, CAN_MSG far *msg)

To get a message from the receive ring buffer, use:

SINT16 can_fetch(CAN far *can, CAN_MSG far *msg)

AIM104-CAN Technical Manual Appendix B – Software library

Status routines

Use the status routines to determine the operating status of the CAN channel.

To determine if the transmit buffer is able to accept a message, use:

SINT16 can_tx_ready(CAN far *CAN)

To determine whether or not the receive buffer contains a message, use:

SINT16 can_rx_ready(CAN far *can)

To check the error status on the CAN channel, use:

SINT16 can_error(CAN far *can)

Error recovery

Use the error recovery routines to detect and process error conditions on the CAN

interface.

To clear the error flags on the CAN channel, use:

void can_clear_errors(CAN far *can)

To abort the current transmission on the CAN controller, use:

void can_txabort(CAN far *can)

Message identifier filtering

Use the message identifier filtering routine to configure the hardware and software

acceptance filters and user supplied function. To do this, use:

void can_set_filter(CAN far *CAN, UINT16 uFnum, UINT16 uAcceptCode,

UINT16 uAcceptMask, SINT16 (far *FilterFn)(CAN far *, UINT16))

ISR hooks

You can use a number of other hooks into the Interrupt Service Routine.

To install a user function that is called upon successful transmission of a message,

use:

void can_set_txcallback(CAN far *can, void (far *TxCallBackFn)(CAN far *,

UINT16))

To install a user function that is called when received messages are placed in the

buffer, use:

void can_set_rxinform(CAN far *can, void (far *RxInformFn)(CAN far *,

UINT16))

To install a user function to handle changes in the error state, use:

void_can_set_error(CAN far *can, void (far *ErrorFn) (CAN far *, UINT16))
