6.19.1.1 Standard operation
A SENT sensor is connected exclusively to one imc CANSAS-SENT module (not simultaneously to another
device). The SENT sensor is supplied with power by the CANSAS-SENT module. The CANSAS-SENT module
contains the input circuit defined in the standard SAE J2716.
The sensor is connected with the imc CANSAS module via three lines, GND (ground), SIG (sensor signal
output) and V
Supply
(supply voltage). imc CANSAS thus also provides the sensor’s power voltage. V
Supply
is a
CANSAS-SENT module output, while SIG is a CANSAS-SENT module input. GND is the particular sensor’s
specific ground (reference voltage level) line which is referenced to the supply voltage V
Supply
and the
signal lead SIG.
