CAN Gateway - OVERVIEW

Allows the logging of vehicle CAN bus or CAN FD data in a VBOX system where secondary CAN modules are used.

  • Converts up to 32 CAN or CAN FD messages
  • Up to 4 MB data rates for CAN FD
  • 125 Kbit, 250 Kbit, 500 Kbit & 1 Mbit CAN rates
  • Isolates VBOX data from vehicle CAN bus

CAN Gateway

What is it?

The VBOX CAN Gateway is designed to control flow of CAN data between two separate buses. It allows logging of vehicle CAN or CAN FD bus data to a VBOX system while simultaneously allowing secondary CAN modules such as the Mini input module to communicate with the VBOX.

Under normal circumstances, attempting to capture CAN data from a car as well as that from a module would lead to VBOX and VBOX Module data being put into the vehicle CAN bus – with unpredictable and almost certainly unwanted results. The CAN Gateway allows for both data streams to be logged by the VBOX without any of the module traffic going back onto the vehicle Bus.

When connected to a PC via the supplied RLCAB117 USB cable, the CAN Interface can be programmed using dedicated setup software to read almost any CAN format message and be configured to then re-transmit them onto the VBOX CAN bus.

What is it for?

The CAN Gateway can be used by VBOX 3i/3iS owners and non-RACELOGIC customers to do the following:

  • Convert up to 32 CAN FD messages to CAN and output these on a different CAN bus
  • Isolate 2 CAN busses while allowing all messages to be transferred to a different CAN bus
  • ake data from one CAN bus speed and convert it to another speed
  • Filter data from one CAN bus and forward the specific data to another CAN bus

Inputs / Outputs

  • CAN B OLED

    Connection for the RLVBDSP04 or RLVBDSP05-L OLED display.

  • CAN B Module

    Connection to input module. For example RLVBMIM01 Mini Input Module or RLVBMICIN01 Micro Input Module.

  • CAN B VBOX

    Connection to VBOX Video HD2 CAN Bus.

  • CAN A Vehicle

    VBOX CAN Gateway will auto detect the baud rate of the connected vehicle/sensor CAN Bus. Data is captured and transferred to CAN B output for logging.

  • USB

    Configuration via PC. When connected to a PC via the supplied RLCAB117 USB cable, CAN Gateway will be powered and will appear as a USB drive, allowing configuration files to be placed directly onto it.

Connecting to an HD2

CAN Gateway can be connected to a VBOX Video HD2 via a RLCAB006 cable (included in package) in order to record data from a vehicle CAN Bus and a Racelogic module at the same time.

It also allows the connection of an OLED Display (RLVBDSP04 or RLVBDSP05-L).
