Enabling connectivity for computer systems to CAN networks via Bluetooth

Ixxat CANblue II

Item number 1.01.0126.12001

The Ixxat CANblue II is a versatile and cost-effective Bluetooth module for CAN systems that can be used with an external antenna. It offers three operation modes: PC interface, bridge, and gateway, making it suitable for various application areas. It is ideal for mobile configuration, analysis, and conveniently bridging CAN networks via Bluetooth.

Features and benefits

  • Versatile connectivity for CAN-based networks

    The Ixxat CANblue II simplifies the connection of computers to CAN-based networks. It provides versatile integration options for diverse requirements for a wide range of CAN applications.

  • Quick and easy start-up

    The device offers a simple startup process, ensuring a swift and uncomplicated connection to the CAN system, saving valuable time and effort.

  • Extended data reach

    With a transmission range of up to 200 meters, even remote systems can be reliably interconnected by using the Ixxat CANblue II. This extended range ensures seamless coverage for expansive networks.

  • High-performance transmission with low latency

    Offering low latency and robust data throughput, the device enables high-speed data transfer with minimal delays, ensuring efficient and prompt data delivery.

  • Flexible configuration and network integration

    With the possibility to integrate multiple CANblue II devices, network segments can be easily connected to each other. This enhances flexibility and compatibility for a broad spectrum of applications.

  • Combine multiple devices for bridge mode

    The bridge mode establishes a CAN-Bluetooth-CAN bridge with two CANblue II devices, ensuring seamless message exchange for various protocols and precise Bluetooth data filtering via CAN-ID filters.

  • Simplified ASCII/binary protocol mode

    The ASCII/Binary protocol mode offers functions for easily exchanging CAN messages and for device configuration. This is particularly well-suited for "non-Windows" systems or embedded platforms.

  • Overvoltage protection

    The device is galvanically isolated, safeguarding against overvoltage and protecting the network from potential electrical damage.

  • For usage with external antenna

    To utilize the CANblue II, an external antenna is available for separate purchase. This feature is essential for extending the CANblue II's range and customizing it to meet specific coverage needs.

  • Seamless PC operation with VCI driver support

    As the CANblue II is supported by the Ixxat VCI driver packages, it easily integrates with existing VCI-based applications and custom programs, allowing for seamless Bluetooth access to CAN systems.

  • Powerful programming interface

    Ixxat offers robust programming interfaces for Windows (VCI), Linux (ECI) and real-time OS (on request), enabling flexible development capabilities across multiple operating systems.

  • Inclusive analysis software

    The Ixxat software tool canAnalyser3 Mini is included in the VCI V4 download package. It easily enables first analysis steps and monitoring in CAN networks.
