24.2.3. CAN ports
Introduction to CAN for the Cordex® CXC HP controller
CANisusedbythecontrollertodiscover,collectdatafrom,control,andconfigurethepowermodules
andI/O(ADIO)modulesinthepowersystem.ThecontrollerhastwouptoCANbuses,eachofwhichcan
controlupto127powerandADIOmodules.
What is a CAN bus?
Acontrollerareanetwork(CAN)referstoanetworkofdevicesthatcommunicateusingtheCANserial
protocoltosupportdistributedreal-timecontrol.
How do CAN bus modules communicate?
ACANbususestwodedicatedwiresforcommunicationcalledCANhighandCANlow.WhentheCAN
busisidle,bothlinescarry2.5volts.Whendatabitsarebeingtransmitted,theCANhighlinegoesto3.75
voltsandtheCANlowdropsto1.25volts,therebygeneratinga2.5voltsdifferencebetweenthelines.
Sincecommunicationreliesonavoltagedifferencebetweenthetwobuslines,theCANbusisinsensitive
toinductivespikes,electricalfieldsorothernoise.ThismakesCANbusareliablechoicefornetworked
communicationsinelectricallynoisyenvironments.
