Hardware, Functions, and Accessories

Hardware

Installation

The contents below specify the conditions to be ensured for the operation of ReXgen1.

GROUNDING

Since providing a common ground between nodes is not required, it is possible to have ground offsets between nodes. Each node may observe different single-ended bus voltages (common mode bus voltages) while maintaining the same differential voltage. Operating a CAN system with large ground offsets can increase electromagnetic emissions. If the system is sensitive to emissions, steps must be taken to eliminate ground offsets.

TERMINATION

ISO-11898 requires that the CAN bus have a nominal characteristic line impedance of 120Ω. Therefore, the typical terminating resistor value for each bus end is 120Ω. Bus termination is used to minimize signal reflection on the bus.

SUPPLY VOLTAGE

It is always recommended to keep the nominal voltage within the specified rate. The device also has internal protection against low energy voltage events due to supply wire noise.

ISOLATION

CAN Bus and USB are not isolated; care must be taken when plugging the USB into the device. Removing the power supply when the device is interfaced with a PC via a Micro USB cable is advised.

Notes:

The CAN Bus Isolator and USB Isolators can be purchased separately.

CAN OVERVIEW

CAN stands for "Controller Area Network" and is defined in the ISO 11898 specification.

CAN BUS COMPONENTS

CAN Controller receives the transfer data from the microcomputer integrated into the control unit/device (also known as CAN Node). The CAN controller processes this data and relays it to the CAN transceiver. Also, the CAN controller receives data from the CAN transceiver, processes it, and relays it to the microcomputer integrated into the control unit/device (CAN Node).

CAN Transceiver is a transmitter and receiver in one. It converts the CAN controller's data into electrical signals and sends this data over the data bus lines. Also, it receives data and converts this data for the CAN controller.

CAN Data Bus Termination is a resistor (R) typically 120 ohms. It prevents data sent from being reflected at the ends and returning as an echo and ensures that the bus gets the correct DC levels.

MAXIMUM BUS SPEED & CABLE LENGTH

The CAN bus uses inexpensive twisted-pair wires to send data. All the nodes are connected to the same line (bus) with small branch lines. The signals on the two CAN lines have the same data sequence, but their amplitudes are opposite. So, if a pulse on the CAN-H line goes from 2.5V to 3.75V, then the corresponding pulse on the CAN-L line goes from 2.5V to 1.25V (opposite to CAN-H).

According to the standard, the maximum speed of a CAN bus is 1 Mbit/second. At a speed of 1 Mbit/s, a maximum cable length of about 40 meters (130 ft.) can be used. This is because the arbitration scheme requires that the wavefront of the signal can propagate to the most remote node and back again before the bit is sampled.

The maximum speed achievable is 1Mbps.
The maximum length achievable is 500 meters at a lower speed of 125 Kbps.
The bus should be terminated at both ends with 120-ohm resistance.

Removal of one node will not affect the communication in the bus.

Provide all the device connectors with plugs and any protection caps required to ensure protection class IP65.
Never immerse the device in water or other liquids.
The manufacturer must only repair the device.
Keep substances that contain solvents away from the type label.
Do not use the logger's USB port for data logging purposes, as it may damage the USB port, which won't be covered under warranty.

Hardware & Functionality

This chapter will provide information on the device's hardware and functionality.

Hardware

INSTALLATION

The contents below specify the conditions to be ensured for the operation of ReXgen Air.

SIM CARD INSERTION

When inserting the SIM card in a ReXgen Air device, open the lid on the SIM slot correctly and carefully. Mishandling the SIM slot lid can damage the device and the SIM card inside.

Also, ensure the SIM is inserted, as shown in the images above (Chip facing down).

GROUNDING

Since it is not required to provide a common ground between nodes, it is possible to have ground offsets. Each node may observe different single-ended bus voltages (common mode bus voltages) while maintaining the same differential voltage. Operating a CAN system with large ground offsets can increase electromagnetic emissions. If the system is sensitive to emissions, steps must be taken to eliminate ground offsets.

TERMINATION

SUPPLY VOLTAGE

It is always recommended to keep the nominal voltage within the specified rate. The device also has internal protection against low energy voltage events due to supply wire noise.

ISOLATION

Warning:

CAN Bus and USB of the device are not isolated; care must be taken when plugging the USB into the device. Removing the device's power supply is advised when interfacing with a USB PC.

Notes:

CAN Bus Isolators and USB Isolators can be separately
Do not use the logger's USB port for stand-alone data logging, as it may damage the USB port, which won't be covered under warranty.

MOUNTING

Always mount the device in a way that minimises vibration exposure and accounts for the IP rating of damage. Air is supplied with four screws to assist you with mounting.

ANTENNA

An external active FAKRA C or FAKRA D antenna with a supply voltage of 3V is required for GNSS and LTE data logging. It is to be ensured that the antenna is connected correctly (at all times) and that it is not loose when the ReXgen Air is powered on. Operation with a loose antenna or without the antenna entirely can lead to GNSS/LTE data loss.

Enclosure

Warning:

The device is not intended for use without the enclosure.

Do not use the logger's USB port for stand-alone data logging, as it may damage the USB port, which won't be covered under warranty.

Antenna Connector

ReXgen Air uses:

FAKRA C connector (Blue) for the GNSS

FAKRA D connector (Bordeaux) for the LTE antenna.
