Kvaser Air Bridge Light HS is a configuration-free wireless CAN bridge that achieves predictable latency, without sacrificing stability or range. Comprising a preconfigured pair of plug-and-play units to rapidly exchange raw CAN data, the Kvaser Air Bridge Light HS is designed for environments or situations that make wired connection unsuitable or challenging e.g. between two moving parts that are connected by CAN.

Major Features 

 

  • ​​​​​​8000 messages per second, each time-stamped with 100 microsecond accuracy

  • Supports both 11-bit (CAN 2.0A) and 29-bit (CAN 2.0B active) identifiers

  • High-speed CAN connection (compliant with ISO 11898-2), up to 1 Mbit/s.

  • Galvanic isolation, previously a more expensive option on Kvaser's original Leaf Light, now comes as standard on the Leaf Light v2, enhancing protection from power surges or electrical shocks.

  • Low current consumption (90 mA) reduces power drain from your laptop.

  • Local buffering and preprocessing results in high performance and a reduction of time critical tasks for the PC.


There are two versions: Kvaser Air Bridge Light HS (00808-3) is approved for the European Union, while Kvaser Air Bridge Light HS (FCC) (01008-6) complies with US certification. Both share the same functionality but have different radio transmission schemes due to regulatory differences.

The New Eagle Vehicle Power Interface Module (VPIM) provides the necessary circuitry to interface with Electric or Plug-In Hybrid Electric (EV/PHEV) vehicles charging equipment in accordance with the SAE J1772 specification. The VPIM allows the vehicle systems and ECUs that require a low current "Sleep" mode to be managed externally by the VPIM. The VPIM monitors the charging interface inputs and provides an output signal that can drive an external "Wake Up" signal to the related vehicle systems.

 

The VPIM also supplies feedback in the form of conditioned PWM and Analog signals to the vehicle system(s) which control the flow of energy from the charger to the vehicle. The analog feedback is output in the form of a 0V to 5V DC signal proportional to the duty cycle of the PWM Input. Also, a PWM feedback is available which rectifies the SAE J1772 +/- 12V PWM signal into a 0 - 9V(max) PWM signal that can be read by most standard ECUs.

 

The VPIM provides a path to control the state of the off board charging station. When a pin on the VPIM is asserted to ground via a low-side drive or relay by the ECU, the charge station will provide the Level 1 or Level 2 charging voltage.

 

Features include:

- Operating Voltage: 8-30 VDC
- J1772 Hardware Interface
- Low Current Consumption < 10mA
- Operating Temperatures ranging from -40°C to 105°C

 

In an EV with an on-board charger, why is the VPIM required? Some on-board chargers are not up to date on the J1772 specification. The VPIM allows the charge station contactors to activate, thus enabling charge voltage to be applied to the vehicle.
