2.1 Introduction

2.1 Introduction
General The VN1600 interface family is a flexible and cost-efficient solution for
information CAN/CAN FD, LIN, K-Line, J1708 and SENT (only VN1640A) applications. An excel-
lent performance with minimal latency times and high time stamp accuracy is also
guaranteed.

The multi-application functionality of the VN1600 interface family supports sim-


ultaneous operation of different applications on one channel, e. g. CANoe and
CANape. Tasks range from simple bus analyses to complex remaining bus sim-
ulations also diagnostic, calibration and reprogramming tasks as well as LIN 2.1
compliance tests.

Bus types Depending on the VN1600 interface, built-in transceivers as well as exchangeable
CAN/LIN and J1708 transceivers can be used. The exchangeable transceivers are
available as plug-in boards (piggybacks) and are inserted in the VN1600. A list of
compatible piggybacks can be found in the accessories manual or on our website.

The VN1630 log has two identical power/sync connectors (Binder type 711)
which can be used for power or in Interface Mode for time synchronization of dif-
ferent Vector devices (see section Time Synchronization on page 100). It does
not matter which connector is used to supply the device.

2 Synchronization line (for Interface Mode)
3 Ground

► D-SUB9 (CH1/3 and CH2/4)


The VN1630 log has two D-SUB9 connectors, each with up to two channels
(CAN/CAN or LIN/CAN). Further information on the pin assignment for CH1/CH3
and CH2/CH4 can be found in section Pin Assignment CH1/3 and CH2/4 on
page 45.

Caution!
It is recommended to connect the VN1630 log to the same voltage supply (e. g.

Figure 24: VN1630 log with SD card slot, LED push-button, USB and D-SUB9 connector

► SD card slot
The VN1630 log has a push-and-pull card holder in which the SD card is inserted
and removed. To insert a SD card push it until it latches in place securely. To
securely remove the SD card, press the LED push button at least for three
seconds. Remaining data in the ring buffer is copied to the SD card which can
take approx. 15 seconds. During this time, the LED flashes yellow. Remove the
SD card only if the LED lights green. During this sequence the VN1630 log must
not be disconnected from the power supply. This protects the SD card from
memory losses. Then unlatch the SD card by pushing it into the holder slot.
Remove the card.

Caution!
To avoid mechanical damage do not pull the SD card from the card holder
forcefully.

► LED push button


LED that indicates the SD card status.
Color Description
Green SD card can be removed.
Yellow On: SD card inserted and identified. Do not remove the SD card.
Flashing: Logging in progress. Do not remove the SD card.

► USB
Connect your computer and the VN1630 log via USB to install, to configure and
to use the device with measurement applications (e. g. CANoe, CANalyzer). Use
the USB2.0 compliant cable found in the delivery (USB extension cables may
generate faults between the computer and the device). Connect the device dir-
ectly to USB at your computer or use a USB hub with its own power supply (self-
powered). Depending on the used piggyback, the VN1630 log requires the entire
USB current (500 mA) which cannot be provided by a bus-powered USB hub.
The VN1630 log also supports two operating modes which can be switched by
using the USB connection and power supply respectively:
Mode USB External Power Supply
Interface Mode/ connected to computer optional
Logging configuration
Logging Mode not connected yes

VN1600 Interface Family Version 5.4 38


2.5.3 Connectors USB Side

Interface Mode In Interface Mode, the VN1630 log operates as a CAN/LIN interface between a com-
puter and the bus. Messages can be received and sent over both channels with suit-
able tools (identical to VN1630A). The VN1630 log must be in the Interface Mode to
configure the logging mode.

While used as interface by a Vector tool, recorded data can be read from the SD
card. In this case the interface functionality has priority and the card access takes
places with reduced speed.

Logging Mode The Logging Mode enables the computer independent usage of the VN1630 log and
allows the logging of CAN and LIN events. For this purpose, the VN1630 log must
be unplugged from the USB connector of the computer and externally supplied via
the Binder connector.

Caution!
During logging, the VN1630 log must not be connected to the computer via the
USB cable, since the logging mode would otherwise be exited!

Reference
Information on the configuration of the logging mode can be found in the separate
manual provided with the Vector Logger Suite on the Vector Driver Disk in
\Tools\VN1630_log.

► D-SUB9 (CH5)
The VN1630 log has a D-SUB9 connector (CH5) for dedicated digital-analog
input/output tasks. The pin assignment can be found in section Pin Assignment
CH5 on page 48.

mend FAT32 formatting with the maximum available cluster size.

2.5.10 Ring Buffer in RAM


Memory The VN1630 log has an allocated ring buffer in its RAM (32 MB) which is used to buf-
fer received data. During recording, the data is continually written to the SD card.
When using a triggered recording, the data is only stored into the ring buffer until the
trigger event occurs. The data is then copied from the ring buffer to the SD card
according to the set pre-trigger time.

2.5.11 Real Time Clock


Description The VN1630 log has a real time clock for date/time information while logging. The
real time clock can be set up in the Vector Logger Suite. It is recommended to set
the real time clock before first logging.

2.7.6 Bus Configuration

Note
CAN XL Configuration

The piggyback channels of the VN1670 support the CAN XL modes Error Sig-
naling Enabled and Error Signaling Disabled:
► CAN XL mode Error Signaling Enabled
This operating mode is intended for bitrates up to 5 Mbit/s. To use this mode,
a CAN High-Speed, a CAN SIC or a CAN SIC XL piggyback can be used.
► CAN XL mode Error Signaling Disabled
This operating mode is intended for bitrates above 5 Mbit/s. This requires a
CAN SIC XL piggyback, which must be configured for transceiver Fast Mode.

The configuration of the CAN XL operating mode and the Fast Mode of the CAN
SIC XL piggyback must be done in the application (e. g. CANoe, CANalyzer,
CANape).

Please contact Vector for information on the planned availability of the CAN SIC
XL piggyback.

Caution!
Operating a CAN SIC XL piggyback in Fast Mode

When using a CAN SIC XL piggyback in Fast Mode, the VN1670 is fully com-
pliant with the corresponding EMC regulations starting with hardware
revision 3.

Previous hardware revisions are not fully compliant to EMC regulations regarding
radition and therefore do not support an operation in Fast Mode.

Please contact Vector for further options if you have a VN1670 with hardware
revision < 3 and intend to use a CAN SIC XL piggyback in Fast Mode.

2.7.9 Standby Operation

2.7.9 Standby Operation


Activating the The device supports a standby mode which can be activated via the Vector Hard-
standby feature ware Manager | Device Properties Configuration.

The standby feature can be used by monitoring one of the following standby
sources:
► the USB (Type A) host interface (via USB Type A-C cable only),
► the Ethernet host interface or
► the corresponding IO pin (terminal 15, pin 1 on the Sync connector).

Pin Assignment
1 Terminal 15 1 3
2
2 Synchronization line
3 Ground

If the USB or Ethernet connection is interrupted (e. g. cable disconnected) or ter-


minal 15 is set (0 V), the interface is set to standby after a certain time. The timeout
can be set in Vector Hardware Manager | Device Properties Configuration.

If the USB or Ethernet connection is active again or terminal 15 is reset (rising edge
to 12 V), the interface wakes up again.

Reference
Please find the power consumption values in section Technical Data on page 87.

Note
Some Ethernet network adapters (e. g. Intel I219-LM) support an Ultra Low
Power Mode (please check the power management settings of the Ethernet net-
work adapter of your host computer).

If the Ultra Low Power Mode is enabled, the VN1670 will not wake up from
standby. Therefore, the Ultra Low Power Mode of the host computer's Ethernet
port must be disabled if Ethernet is configured as the standby source for VN1670.

Time stamps Time stamps are useful when analyzing incoming or outgoing data or event
and events sequences on a specific bus.

Figure 60: Time stamps of two CAN channels in CANalyzer

Generating Each event which is sent or received by a Vector network interface has an accurate
time stamps time stamp. Time stamps are generated for each channel in the Vector network inter-
face. The base for these time stamps is a common hardware clock in the device.

If the measurement setup requires more than one Vector network interface, a syn-
chronization of all connected interfaces and their hardware clocks is needed.

Due to manufacturing and temperature tolerances, the hardware clocks may vary in
speed, so time stamps of various Vector devices drift over time.

To compensate for these time stamp deviations between the Vector network inter-
faces, the time stamps can be either synchronized by software, hardware, PTP or
GNSS (capability depends on the Vector device).

Note
The accuracy of the software, hardware, PTP or GNSS sync depends on the

4.4 Precision Time Protocol Sync

4.4.1 General Information


Overview The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a protocol used to synchronize clocks through
a computer network. On a local area network, it achieves a synchronization accur-
acy in the sub-microsecond range, making it suitable for measurement and control
systems.

Note
The PTP feature can only be used on the Ethernet host ports of these devices.
Therefore, it can only be used, if the device is connected via Ethernet host port to
the PC.

5.1.2 Hazards

5.1.2 Hazards
Caution!
The interface may control and/or otherwise influence the behavior of control sys-
tems and electronic control units. Serious hazards for life, body and property may
arise, in particular, without limitation, by interventions in safety relevant systems
(e.g. by deactivating or otherwise manipulating the engine management, steer-
ing, airbag and/or braking system) and/or if the interface is operated in public
areas (e.g. public traffic, airspace). Therefore, you must always ensure that the
interface is used in a safe manner. This includes, inter alia, the ability to put the
system in which the interface is used into a safe state at any time (e.g. by „emer-
gency shutdown“), in particular, without limitation, in the event of errors or haz-
ards.

Comply with all safety standards and public regulations which are relevant for the
operation of the system. Before you operate the system in public areas, it should
be tested on a site which is not accessible to the public and specifically prepared
for performing test drives in order to reduce hazards.
