Interfaces
The different interfaces of the BLUEPIRAT2 supported bus systems are described in this chap-
ter in more detail.
9.1
CAN
The BLUEPIRAT2 is able to record data in compliance with the CAN specification 2.0a (11 Bit
identifier) and 2.0b (29 Bit identifier).
9.1.1 High Speed and Low Speed operating modes
Depending on the model, the BLUEPIRAT2 has different numbers of High Speed (HS) and Low
Speed (LS) CAN interfaces. It is not possible to change a CAN interface from Low to High
Speed or vice versa. Each type is using different transceivers.
The electrical behavior of the Low Speed and the High Speed CAN is different, hence, the Low
Speed CAN port of the BLUEPIRAT2 must not be connected to a High Speed CAN bus and
vice versa.
Both operating modes use differential signals (CANH, CANL). For the correct data recording, all
nodes of the bus must have a common reference potential. The BLUEPIRAT2 uses the connec-
tion “
clamp 31
” as a reference potential. The lines of the High Speed CANs are terminated with
a high resistance.

9.1.2 CAN data with 29 Bit identifiers
The BLUEPIRAT
2 can also log CAN data with 29 Bit identifiers. You don’t have to configure an-
ything. All the CAN data will be logged as they are available on the CAN bus. It is also possible
to log CAN messages mixed with 11 Bit and 29 Bit identifiers.
