CAN and USB Limitations
On some controller models CAN and USB cannot operate at the same time. On control-
lers equipped with a USB connector, if simultaneous connection is not allowed, the con-
troller will enable CAN if USB is not connected.
The controller will automatically enable USB and disable CAN as soon as the USB is con-
nected to the PC. The CAN connection will then remain disabled until the controller is
restarted with the USB unplugged.
See the controller model datasheet to verify whether simultaneous CAN and USB is sup-
ported.
Basic Setup and Troubleshooting
CANbus is very easy to setup: Simply connect the CANH and CANL to a pair of wires with
at least one resistor somewhere along the cable. Enable the desired CAN protocol and
speed using the PC utility.
