2.1 General Information

GL3000 The GL3000 is a data logger with USB and Ethernet interface which processes CAN

messages with either 11-bit or 29-bit identifiers, Remote Frames, LIN messages and

analog measurement values. The data is stored on a Compact Flash card. The

configuration of the logger is done with the Vector Logger Configurator or the G.i.N.

Configuration Program. The installation is described in chapter 3.

GL3100 The GL3100 includes all the functionality of the GL3000. In addition its housing

features four buttons for input and a display for output.

GL3200 The GL3200 only differs from the GL3100 in that the data is recorded on a solid-state

disk instead of a Compact Flash card. This allows the data to be read out faster.

GL4000 The GL4000 includes all the functionality of the GL3000 and also supports FlexRay

recording. In addition its housing features four buttons for input and a display for

output.

GL4200 The GL4200 only differs from the GL4000 in that the data is recorded on a solid-state

disk instead of a Compact Flash card. This allows the data to be read out faster.

Battery

(Term. 30)

The two pins are connected to one another internally. They are

used to supply the logger with power. In case of increased current

consumption and/or a small cable diameter, we recommend

connecting both pins.

GND

The two GND pins on the main plug and the GND pin on the

analog plug are connected to one another internally. In case of

increased current consumption and/or a small cable diameter, it is

recommended connecting both pins.

CAN

For CAN (see chapter 2.3.1), the CANx High and CANx Low pins

are connected. For the galvanically decoupled piggybacks, the

CANx GND and CANx Vbatt pins must also be connected.

User Manual GL3000/GL4000 Series GL3000/GL4000 Series – Overview

LIN

The LIN channels are supplied with maximum 12 V from the supply

voltage of the data logger. If the reference voltage for a LIN

channel is higher than 12 V, this voltage (e.g. 24 V) must be

applied to the LIN1_Vbatt or LIN2_Vbatt

pins. In all other cases,

the LIN1/2_Vbatt pins are not connected.

It is recommended to connect also GND as ground supply beside

the LIN pins.

FlexRay

For FlexRay (see chapter 2.3.4), the FlexRay1+/FlexRay1- and

FlexRay2+/FlexRay2- pins are connected.

Analog inputs

For analog inputs 1 - 4, the AnaInx pins are connected.

Analog inputs 5 and 6 are hard-wired internally and connected to

BattSense and KL15/Wake respectively. They are therefore not

accessible through a plug.

UART

For the serial interfaces (see chapter 2.4.10), the UARTx Tx and

UARTx Rx pins are connected. The UART2 Tx/Rx pins are

connected internally with the UART2 Tx/Rx pins of the analog plug.

KL15/Wake

The logger is woken up by a positive edge on this pin.

KL15/Ignition, for example, can be connected for this purpose.

BattSense,

GNDSense

If the cables to the logger are long, the voltage drops off on the

Term. 30 line and the GND line due to the operating current. As a

result, a minimally lower voltage than the actual wiring system

voltage is measured with AnaIn5. To prevent this, the BattSense

and GNDSense pins can be connected close to the wiring system

voltage. AnaIn5 then measures the voltage at these pins.

Caution: It is recommended to connect the logger to the same voltage supply (e.g.

battery of the vehicle) as the vehicle or test equipment, respectively.

If two different voltage supplies are used for the logger and the test equipment, the

ground (GND) pins of the two voltage supplies must be connected.

Reverse-polarity

protection

For the voltage supply via Battery (Pins 37/38) and GND (Pins 4/5) a complete

reverse-polarity protection is available that in parallel also suppresses negative peaks

from the main power supply. A protection against positive peaks is also available.

Dependent on the temperature peaks from 35.88 V up to 42.12 V can be absorbed.

Then temporarily up to 1200 A can be discharged.

Analog

expansion

The analog inputs (differential) of expansion card A8I (see

chapter 2.4.6) are connected using this plug.

GND

This pin can be used as ground for 5V (out) and Vbatt (out). The

GND pin on the analog plug and the two GND pins on the main

plug are connected to one another internally.

5V (out)

Externally connected devices can be supplied with 5 V through

this pin. The voltage supply at this pin is switched off with a

switch if the logger is in sleep mode or standby mode. This

output can supply currents up to 1A.

Vbatt (out)

This pin outputs the voltage active at pin Battery (VCC) and is

protected with 2A.

UART

For the serial interface (see chapter 2.4.10), the UART2 Tx and

UART2 Rx pins are connected. These pins are connected

internally with the UART2 Tx/Rx pins of the main plug.

RS232LinuxRx,

RS232LinuxTx

These pins support an access to the logger to set the real time

clock (see chapter 3.2.4).

The digital inputs (see chapter 2.4.4) are connected via the DigInx

pins.

Digital

outputs

The digital outputs (see chapter 2.4.5) are connected via the

DigOutx and DigGND pins.

DigGND

The two DigGND pins are the common ground of the digital

outputs and connected to one another internally. They are used to

divert possible high currents that could flow in on digital output

DigOutx. They are bridged internally with GND via a fuse.

It is recommended connecting a good ground if digital outputs are

used with high currents.

For currents higher than 1 A, the ground DigGND (preferably both

pins 23 and 24) must be connected to the vehicle ground (GND at

main plug).

Vbatt (out,

switched)

This pin outputs the voltage of Battery via a 1 A electrical fuse if

the logger is switched on.

This output is used for the operation of small accessory devices

which have no own sleep mode and are supposed to operate when

the logger is awake.

The ground of such device must be connected to the vehicle

ground (GND at main plug).

Logger as bus

interface

The loggers support a monitoring interface that allows the use of loggers as bus

interface for monitoring in CANoe/CANalyzer (since version 7.6 SP3).

The logger is connected via Ethernet to the CANoe/CANalyzer PC and sends after

measurement start the bus data to CANoe/CANalyzer, where the data can be

analyzed in the measurement setup. Sending messages with CANoe/CANalyzer is

not possible. The relevant CANoe/CANalyzer licenses must be provided by a

connected hardware interface on the PC or by a license dongle.

You can find further information in the Vector Logger Configurator manual, chapter

Monitoring Interface. There the configuration of the logger and CANoe/CANalyzer is

described in Tutorial: Usage as interface.

piggybacks

Piggybacks 1041mag, 1043mag, 1054mag and 1055mag are magnetically decoupled

and available for CAN channels 1 - 4 of the GL3000/GL4000 series. Due to the

decoupling, the power supply and ground for these piggybacks must be connected at

the main plug (see chapter 2.2.2 Main Plug). For proper galvanic isolation, the

piggybacks must be powered from a different source than the logger.

User Manual GL3000/GL4000 Series GL3000/GL4000 Series – Overview

Info: For the galvanically decoupled transceiver, power supply (CAN1/2/3/4_Vbatt)

and ground (CAN1/2/3/4_GND) must be connected separately.

Replacing

piggybacks

The piggybacks can be exchanged. The installed piggybacks are automatically

detected (“plug & play”).

Info:

> First read the installation instruction completely.

> The case has to be opened to exchange the piggybacks.

> This must be done very cautiously and carefully, in order to not damage the

sensitive lines in the unit.

GL3000/GL4000

series

Now proceed as follows:

1. Screw off the back cover (with the main plug) of the logger. First remove the black

decorative caps and then unscrew the crosshead screws.

2. Carefully remove the back cover with the board from the housing until the

piggybacks are accessible. It is sufficient to pull out the board halfway.

Note that the USB cable of the GL3200 and GL4200 may under no circumstances

be folded or pulled!

3. Looking from the main plug, the four slots are located at the edge of the board in

the order of CAN1 - CAN4. The locations are marked red in Figure 1.

4. Remove the piggyback carefully from the mounting location.

5. Insert the new piggyback. As the piggybacks are structured asymmetrically, it is

not possible to use them in a turned position. If some slots are not occupied, you

must ensure that each piggyback is inserted exactly in its intended slot on the (4 x

4 =) 16-pin measuring connection strip. Galvanically isolated piggybacks contain

four further pins.

6. Reassemble the unit in the reverse order. Place the main board back in the

housing and ensure that the board has been inserted into the correct guide rail

(piggybacks: groove 6, main board: groove 1).

Note the ribbon cable of the membrane keypad here (not in the case of GL3000)

and the flat ribbon cable. Under no circumstances may they be folded or crushed!

7. It should be possible to slide the main board in the housing up to a few

millimeters from the end without forcing it in. Close the housing by applying light

pressure, and then secure it with the appropriate screw fasteners. The screws

should be secure but not excessively tight.

8. Please also attach the black decorative caps.

Caution: When performing this operation be sure not to touch the top or bottom of

the boards (logger main board or piggybacks).
