Networking
Use the daisy chain mode for the CAN bus, as shown in the following figure. Use
shielded twisted pair cables for the CAN bus, and use twisted pair cables for CANH
and CANL signal cables. Connect a 120 Ω termination resistor at each end of the bus
to prevent signal reflection. Connect the CAN signal reference ground of all the nodes
(up to 64 nodes) together.
