The bridge mode allows the user to set-up a CAN-Bluetooth-CAN bridge by using two CANblue/Generic devices. Message exchange occurs on layer 2 and is transparent. The CANblue/Generic can also be used in systems that work with CANopen, DeviceNet or customer-specific protocols. Filters for CAN identifiers can be stored in the devices for data exchange via Bluetooth. By using more than two CANblue/Generic devices the coupling of the devices can be made dynamically. Depending upon the existing environmental conditions, the maximum distance between the CANblue/Generic devices is 100m.

ASCII Protocol Mode

In ASCII protocol mode functions for transmitting and receiving CAN messages and for configuring the CANblue/Generic are available to the user based on simple ASCII commands. The CANblue/Generic is ideal for "non-Windows" systems or embedded platforms that will be connected wirelessly to CAN.
