Opisi žebljičkov:

• 5V: Connect to a 5V power supply.
• 3.3V: Connect to a 3.3V power supply.
• GND: Connect to power ground.
• CFG: Configuration pin. Set to 0 for configuration mode, 1 for working mode.
• TXD: Connect to the RXD pin of your target board (e.g., STM32).
• RXD: Connect to the TXD pin of your target board (e.g., STM32).
• CANL: Connect to the CANL signal line of the CAN network.
• CANH: Connect to the CANH signal line of the CAN network.

Pomembna opomba: The serial port of this module operates with a TTL 3.3V signal. It is not compatible with 232 signals. If integrating with a 5V system, it is strongly recommended to use a 5V to 3.3V level shifter circuit to prevent damage to the module or target board.

4. Navodila za uporabo

4.1 Načini delovanja

• Način konfiguracije: Set the CFG pin to 0. In this mode, the module accepts AT commands for parameter setup. The status indicator LED will flash at 5 Hz.
• Način dela: Set the CFG pin to 1. In this mode, the module performs TTL to CAN signal conversion. The status indicator LED will flash at 1 Hz.

4.2 AT Command Configuration

The module's parameters, such as CAN baud rate, serial port baud rate, and filter settings, are configured using a set of simple AT commands. There are only 6 instructions to manage the module's settings. These settings are saved automatically after power down, ensuring persistent configuration.

For detailed AT command syntax and usage, refer to the specific programming guide or datasheet provided by Taidacent (not included in this manual).

4.3 Prenos podatkov

Once configured and in working mode, the module facilitates high-speed data transfer between TTL serial and CAN bus interfaces. It supports data transfer speeds exceeding 600 frames per second. The message data length can be set arbitrarily from 0 to 8 bytes.

5. Vzdrževanje

The Taidacent TTL to CAN Bus Converter module is designed for reliable operation with minimal maintenance. To ensure longevity and optimal performance:

• Modul naj bo čist in brez prahu ter vlage.
• Izogibajte se izpostavljanju modula ekstremnim temperaturam ali vlagi.
• Zagotovite ustrezno prezračevanje, če je zaprto v klimatski napravi.asing.
• Handle with care to prevent physical damage to components or solder joints.

6. Odpravljanje težav

• Brez komunikacije:
  • Verify all power and signal connections (5V, 3.3V, GND, TXD, RXD, CANL, CANH) are secure and correct as per Section 3.
  • Ensure the CFG pin is set correctly for the desired mode (0 for configuration, 1 for working).
  • Check that the serial port of your target board is indeed TTL 3.3V. If it's a 5V system, confirm a level shifter is used.
  • Confirm baud rates (serial and CAN) are correctly configured and match the connected devices.
• Incorrect LED Indicator Behavior:
  • If the LED is not flashing as expected (1 Hz in working mode, 5 Hz in configuration mode), recheck the CFG pin setting and power supply.
• Modul se ne odziva:
  • The module features offline self-recovery. Disconnect and reconnect power to attempt a reset.
  • You can restore hardware and software default parameters if configuration issues persist. Refer to the AT command documentation for the specific command to reset to factory defaults.
• Poškodbe/napake podatkov:
  • Verify CAN bus termination resistors are correctly implemented in your network, if applicable.
  • Check for electrical noise or interference in the environment. The module has surge protection, but extreme conditions can still affect performance.
