10.5 Ethernet
All versions of the blue PiraT2 data logger are able to log Ethernet data. All data loggers have a
1-Gbit-Ethernet port with RJ45 connector on the front. On the rear side there is a FCI connector
which provides four 100 Mbit Ethernet interfaces. An Ethernet kit is available for breaking off this
four Ethernet ports to RJ45 plugs.
The
blue PiraT2 5E
has 4 integrated 1-Gbit-Ethernet ports at the rear side.
For connecting the the data logger with a PC only the 1-Gbit port at the front can be used.
From here you’ll find a list of the supported protocols. When a protocol requires a license, this
will be marked.
10.5.1
GNLogger
For connecting a standard TCP (open socket connection) is used. Therefore the blue PiraT2 is
a TCP slave device.
GNLogger is a proprietary serial protocol used for some ECU diagnosis.
10.5.2
UTF8
The blue PiraT2 will initiate a TCP connection to a TCP server by using an open socket connec-
tion (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
logging data again.
10.5.3
Raw
When using the raw data transmission over TCP the blue PiraT2 will be a TCP slave device.
Therefore the blue PiraT2 will initiate a TCP connection to a TCP server by using an open sock-
et 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.
If the connection is getting lost, it will take about 5 seconds to build up a new connection for
logging data again.
10.5.4
UDPServer
The blue PiraT2 can be configured as a UDP server by setting up an IP address and port num-
ber.
There is an adjustable timeout. The connection will be terminated if no data arrives. This ap-
pears as a message in the trace file. There is no configurable debug level. The blue PiraT2 as a
UDP server accepts UDP data packets, UDP multicast and UDP broadcast packets.
