HMS NETWORKS CANbridge NT Lua ADK Bridge Router User Guide

Using Lua ADK with the CAN NT Devices  

CAN@net NT/CANbridge NT Lua ADK  

3. Using Lua ADK with the CAN NT Devices  

The use of the ADK is only possible in Bridge operaonal modes.  

The Lua ADK supports two operaonal modes:  

• running the Lua script on the target device in autonomous mode (target mode)  

• running the Lua script on the host PC for debugging purposes, communicang with the target device via USB  

(remote mode)  

Funconally there is no dierence between running the Lua script on the device or on the host PC. The  

operaonal mode can be set in the CAN-Gateway Conguraor (see How to Enable the Use of the Lua ADK?, p.  

5).  

Running scripts on the target device provides only limited debugging possibilies via print statements. Running  

scripts on the host PC allows debugging with breakpoints and watch windows. Running Lua on the host PC  

provides the possibility to run huge Lua les with low compuaon me due to performance of PC, but the USB  

communicaon introduces extra delays for each ineracon (e.g. CAN-Lua-CAN) of about one millisecond.  

3.1. How to Enable the Use of the Lua ADK?  

To be able to use the Lua ADK with the CAN NT device, the device must be updated with the Lua framework and  

Lua must be enabled in the CAN-Gateway Conguraor.  

1. Connect the device to the host computer and to power supply (for more inormaon see User Manual of  

the device in use).  

2. Make sure that the latest CAN-Gateway Conguraor is installed (check within the product support pages on  

www.ixxat.com/support-bridges-gateways).  

3. Start the CAN-Gateway Conguraor and connect the device in use (for more inormaon see User Manual  

CAN-Gateway Conguraor).  

4. In the toolbar open menu Lua ADK and select Update Lua ADK.  

5. In C:\Program Files\HMS\Ixxat CAN-Gateway Confguraor V6 open the le lua_framework_vx and update  

the Lua ADK.

6. In the conguraon tree select General and enable the ADK in the drop-down list Use of Lua as ADK.  

a. enabled in target mode: running the script on the target device (see How to Use Lua in Target Mode?,  

p. 5)  

b. enabled in remote mode: running the script on the host PC, communicang with the device via USB  

(see How to Use Lua in Remote Mode?, p. 6)  

7. In CAN-Ethernet-CAN bridges note that the Lua ADK must be enabled for the Master and each Slave  

individually.  

8. In the toolbar open menu Target and select Write confguraon to target to write the device conguraon  

to the connected CAN NT device.  

3.2. How to Use Lua in Target Mode?  

1. In the CAN-Gateway Conguraor enable the use of the Lua ADK in target mode (see How to Enable the Use  

of the Lua ADK?, p. 5).  

2. In the toolbar open menu Target and select Write confguraon to target to write the device conguraon
