The combined ground has to be connected always!

Digital Output
The BLUEPIRAT Mini models CAN, FlexRay and LIN have two digital outputs. The output cur-
rent is up to 1 A per channel.

Ethernet / Broad-R-Reach®
All versions of the BLUEPIRAT Mini data logger are able to log Ethernet data. All data loggers
have two 1 Gbit Ethernet ports with RJ45 connector on the front and two more at the rear side.
The two interfaces
ETH #1 / TSL
and
ETH #2 / TSL
can be used to connect the data logger to
the PC and for the TSL (System Link) connection.
Broad-R-Reach
is an Ethernet based standard, which allows multiple components of the elec-
trical system of a vehicle to get access to information by using unshielded twisted pair wires
simultaneously.
The
BLUEPIRAT Mini
CAN & 4 CAN-FD
allows to disable the rear Ethernet ports
ETH #3
and
ETH #4
and activate the connectors
BRR 1
and
BRR 2
at the harness
to be used for
BroadR-
Reach
.
11.7.1
Supported Ethernet / Broad-R-Reach® protocols
This section gives an overview of the available protocols. When a protocol requires a license,
this will be marked.
11.7.1.1
GNLogger
For connecting a standard TCP (open socket connection) is used. Therefore the BLUEPIRAT
Mini is a TCP slave device.
GNLogger is a proprietary serial protocol used for some ECU diagnosis.
11.7.1.2
UTF8
The BLUEPIRAT Mini will initiate a TCP connection to a TCP server by using an open socket
connection (you can configure IP/Port of server via client software).
By using UTF8 data transmission the logger will write a timestamp after every detected Linefeed
(LF) from the incoming data.
If the connection is getting lost, it will take about 5 seconds to build up a new connection for log-
ging data again.
11.7.1.3
Raw
When using the raw data transmission over TCP the BLUEPIRAT Mini will be a TCP slave de-
vice. Therefore the BLUEPIRAT Mini will initiate a TCP connection to a TCP server by using an
open socket connection (you can configure IP/Port of server via client software).
When using raw data transmission, every data package up to 40 Kbytes is getting a time stamp
and will be written on the logger.
