DeviceNet connector
Pin Signal Description
1 V- Negative bus supply voltage
2 CAN L CAN low bus line
3 Shield Cable shield, functional ground.
4 CAN H CAN high bus line
5 V+ Positive bus supply voltage
For connection of the adaptor to the DeviceNet master, use a standard cable for
DeviceNet or similar shielded cable with twisted pairs and a connector according to the
diagram below. The bus supply voltage shall be 11 – 25 VDC.
For reliable fieldbus function, line termination must be arranged in both ends of the
transmission line. For a G5 Instrument placed at the end of the line, terminate line by
placing a 121-ohm resistor between CAN L (pin 2) and CAN H (pin 4).
For configuration of the adaptor an EDS file is supplied with the instrument that should
be installed in the master. Note that the EDS file is a generic type supplied by the
module manufacturer. The file doesn’t contain any reference to the G5 Instrument or to
BLH Nobel.
