4.5 CANopen/CANlink Bus Connection
When building a CAN network, connect each of the three cables leading out from
each device to the corresponding cable of the adjacent device. Add a 120 Ω CAN
bus termination resistor at both ends of the bus. You can use a DIP switch to
choose whether to activate the H5U series built-in resistor. The following gure
shows the CAN bus connection topology.

The following table lists the relationship between CANopen transmission rate and
transmission distance.
Baud Rate (bit/s) Maximum Bus Length (m)
1 million 20
500,000 90
250,000 150
125,000 300
50,000 1,000
To prevent interference with communication signals, do not bundle the CAN bus
with the AC power cable and high-voltage cables.
