5 How to use HV Breakout Modules
An HV Breakout Module can be operated via ECAT as well as via CAN. This means measure-
ment values are sent via both bus types. In the configuration software CSMconfig, such a
module can therefore be read in and configured as an ECAT module and as a CAN module.
The configuration is explained below using the ECAT component of the HV Breakout Module.
The procedure is identical for the module’s ECAT and CAN component - the CAN-specific
features are explained in the relevant sections.
5.1 Application example
The figure below shows an example in which an HV BM 1.1 module is linked to a data acquisi-
tion system (PC) via an XCP-Gateway pro protocol converter.

Fig. 5-1: Measurement setup with an HV BM 1.1 connected to an XCP-Gateway
The installation consists of the following components:
f
HV BM 1.1 measurement module
f
XCP-Gateway pro protocol converter
f
Power supply
→ See chapter 4.4.2 "Connectors".
f
Data acquisition (PC) with configuration software CSMconfig and DAQ software
(e.g. vMeasure, CANape®, INCA etc.)
f
Interface cable with power supply connectors K420-xxxx
f
Connection cable K400-xxxx
To operate the HV Breakout Module via CAN as well:
f
CAN interface
or
f
1 free CAN interface at an XCP-Gateway pro (measurement data rate: max. 1 kHz)
and
f
matching connection cable and CAN termination plug
Connecting the components
"
Connect the interface cable to the XCP-Gateway.
"
Connect the XCP-Gateway pro to the HV Breakout Module.
"
Connect the other end of the interface cable with the PC.
"
Connect the banana plugs of the interface cable to the power supply
(
→ see chapter 4.4.2 "Connectors"
)
.
"
To configure the CAN side of the HV Breakout Module, connect a separate CAN inter-
face (or a free CAN interface of an XCP-Gateway pro) to the HV Breakout Module‘s CAN
socket which is not in use.
