WS103 remote solution

The WS103 interface is designed to provide wireless access to the CAN data of a vehicle, machine, or

system via WLAN / Bluetooth

®

.

The WS103 is a stand-alone multiradio module which includes Wi-Fi, Classic Bluetooth

®

and Bluetooth

®

Low Energy (planned). The Wi-Fi support conforms to IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, and has support for dual-band

2.4 GHz and 5 GHz operation.

The module can be used as CAN-WLAN / Bluetooth

®

interface or wireless CAN-CAN bridge. In a CAN-

WLAN / Bluetooth

®

interface, the module is used for transmission of CAN data to other WLAN /

Bluetooth

®

/ network devices, such as computers, smartphones, or tablets on which the CAN data can be

managed and evaluated. The data exchange is bidirectional when the device is configured as a WLAN /

Bluetooth

®

interface via software.

In a wireless CAN-CAN bridge, CAN data is transmitted wireless between two WS103 modules. The CAN-

CAN bridge serves as a replacement for a CAN cable for more efficient and dependable communication

of operational data over long runs and moving joints.

The interface is suitable for use in mobile and stationary systems for industrial, agricultural, and forestry

machinery.

The WS103 is an Easy-to-Install plastic enclosure which can be bolted to a panel.

OEM responsibility

The OEM of a machine or vehicle in which Danfoss products are installed has the full responsibility for all

consequences that might occur. Danfoss has no responsibility for any consequences, direct or indirect,

caused by failures or malfunctions.

•

Danfoss has no responsibility for any accidents caused by incorrectly mounted or maintained

equipment.

•

Danfoss does not assume any responsibility for Danfoss products being incorrectly applied or the

FCC notice

The device(s) described in this manual may only be used in mobile or stationary systems in which under

normal operating conditions the separation distance between the antenna(s) and all persons is at least 20

cm (8 in). The antenna(s) (internal or external) must further not be co-located or operated in conjunction

with any antenna or transmitter. Compliance of WS unit devices in all final product configurations is the

responsibility of the integrator.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules with the limits for a

digital instrument of class B. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful

interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference

to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular

installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can

be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the

interference by one or more of the following measures:

•

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

•

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

•

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.

Loss of FCC certification possible:

•

Only use antennas that are suitable for the frequency range used so that the device does not lose its

wireless qualification; only approved antennas may be used.

•

It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the external antenna used does not remove the

wireless qualification.

•

Keep the end of the antenna away from metal components to avoid interference.

Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate the

equipment under FCC rules.

Wiring

When installing control system hardware, one of the most important things to consider is the type of

cable to be used for connecting together each component of the system.

C

Caution

Using incompatible accessories may damage your equipment. Incorrect selection or wiring of such cables

can cause a wide range of problems, including erratic or non-existent communication, an increased

danger of component damage due to freak voltages, or an increased chance of EMI (Electro Magnetic

Interference), all of which can have an adverse effect on the installation. If you are using other accessories

than those contained in the WS103 Kit, make sure that they are compatible with the devices.

Connectors

WS103 is equipped with the following connectors:

•

One main connector (CAN/Power, J-1)

•

One configuration connector (RS-232, J-2)

The antenna is integrated into the device housing, below the pin assignment of the two 5-pin M12

connectors.

Configuration connector

WS103 uses a RS232 port in order to be configured.

The USB/RS232 converter cable will be used together with a WS Wireless Configurator tool.

Connect USB/RS232 converter cable

Prepare communication between the PC/laptop and the USB/RS232 converter cable to allow the

configuration of the WS103 before connecting USB/RS232 converter cable to PC/laptop:

1. Go to http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm and download and install the latest VCP drivers (up

to version 2.12.10).

2. Connect RS232/USB converter cable.

Before opening the WS Wireless Configurator verify if the FTDI driver is correctly installed (check Version

in Device Manager) and make sure the RS232/USB converter cable is connected.

CAN bus termination

In each CAN bus system, signal reflections at the end of a wire or cable can cause interference, which is

one reason for transmission errors.

To minimize these reflections a terminator is placed at each end of a transmission line. This terminator

has to match the characteristic impedance of the transmission line.

In CAN bus networks, normally unshielded twisted pair cables are used for signal transmission. These

cables have a characteristic impedance of approximately 120 Ohms. Thus a resistor of 120 Ohms has to

be placed at each end of the CAN bus line between CAN-High and CAN-Low to reduce the reflections and

enable correct communication.

Connect power supply

1. Connect the power supply to the WS device. For the power connector assignment, refer to CAN /

Power connector on page 11 and RS-232 connector on page 11.

2. Connect the power supply to an electrical outlet.

Device configuration

CAN Baudrate

The CAN Baud-rate refers to the rate (speed) at which data is transmitted on the network. This is typically

expressed in kilobits-per-second (kbit/s) Selecting the incorrect Baud-rate can cause erratic behavior on

the network, by default it is set to 250 Kbit/s (J1939 standard).

CAN Baud-rate selection

Feedback Mode

The Feedback Mode enables the successfully transmitted CAN Messages to be sent back to the host in

order of transmission. The Feedback Mode by default is not checked. Error status and feedback output

with timestamp are available only if Feedback Mode is checked with Timestamp Mode not Off, this

allows the transmission of error status and feedback output with timestamp.

Feedback Mode selections

Timestamp Mode

When Timestamp Mode is selected, a 32-bit counter value (100 microsecond resolution) is inserted after

the last data byte. The difference between absolute and relative modes is that the counter value is reset

with each received message byte in relative mode. The Timestamp Mode by default is set to Off.

Timestamp Mode settings

CANopen

WS103 is a CANopen device

CANopen node ID

It’s a 11-bit ID communication object identifier, be sure to set an ID value that is not already used by other

devices connected on CAN Bus network.

Heartbeat time [ms]

With node monitoring according to the heartbeat principle, a node automatically transmits its

communication state at regular intervals as evidence of its communication ability. The interval between

two heartbeat messages (heartbeat time) of a so-called heartbeat producer is configured by this

parameter.

By default a value of 0 (off) disables the heartbeat mechanism.

Keep the CANopen stack active while connected

By default a value of 0 (off) disables the heartbeat mechanism. Selecting Keep the CANopen stack

active while connected, WS103 can receive or transmit CAN open messages to the following IDs:

•

Receive: 0x000, 0x621
