Introduction
1.1
Functional Description
The CAN-DP is a Serial to CANbus module which operates at up to 1Mbps on both Serial and CANbus
interfaces.
The module has a DIP (Dual In-line Package) format, allowing it to be used in a standard 28-pin 0.6” IC
socket as part of an OEM design as well as in prototyping boards for initial development.
The integrated electronics include a Microchip PIC with the ECAN controller and a Microchip CAN Bus
transceiver. LEDs on the module give a visual indication of the CANbus status.
Communications are accomplished with ASCII commands to the CAN controller. The ASCII commands
are listed in Section 4.1. The command set is identical to the EasySYNC S1-A-7001, allowing current
designs using that unit to be migrated onto a board-level solution without changing the software.
The CAN-DP requires a power supply with an input voltage range of +6VDC to +15VDC.
The maximum CANbus data rate is 1Mbps. Serial data rates range from 2400bps to 460.8Kbps and
1Mbps.
The CAN-DP can be interfaced to either RS232 or Logic levels on it’s UART interface. The Logic level
interface uses 5V logic levels and can be interfaced to 5V TTL or CMOS devices.
There are two separate sets of Serial interface pins for this purpose, one with RS232 levels (pins 1, 2, 3
and 4 ) and one with TTL levels (pins 19, 20, 21 and 22). The operation is identical in each case except
for the voltage levels. The TTL_EN signal selects between TTL mode and RS232 Mode. Only one interface
may be used at a time, and the TxD, RxD, RTS and CTS pins of the interface which is not being used
must be left un-connected.

1.2.1 Block description
RS232 Serial Interface Pins
The RS232 interface uses the TxD_232, RxD_232, RTS_232 and CTS_232 pins on the module pin header.
These pins use RS232 voltage levels and are used to connect to the external serial circuit (for example a
PC serial port) which uses RS232 levels. A ground connection is also required so that the module has a
common ground to the other serial device. These lines can be used in applications which were previously
using the S1-A-7001 interface.
The TTL_EN input must be low or floating in order to enable the RS232 interface. If the TTL_EN input is
high (TTL mode), leave the RS232 Serial Interface Pins un-connected. Please see the TTL_EN section
below.
RS232 Level Shifter
The RS232 level shifter converts the RS232 levels used on the TxD_232, RxD_232, RTS_232 and
CTS_232 pins into suitable 5V logic levels for the PIC microcontroller on the CAN-DP module.
The TTL_EN must be pulled low or floating in order to enable the RS232 transceiver.
TTL_EN Input
This TTL level input is used to enable or disable the RS232 Level Shifter.
When this pin is low, the RS232 Level Shifter is enabled. In this case, the RS232 Serial Interface is used
and the connection to the external serial device should be made through the RS232 Serial Interface Pins.
The TTL Serial Interface pins should be left un-connected. The TTL_EN input can be connected to GND or
can be left floating (due to it’s internal pull-down) to select RS232 mode.
