8.6 Connecting the CAN bus
CAN connection
The PN/CAN LINK is connected to the CAN bus by
means of a CAN cable with D-sub connector (9-pin,
socket) ①. Use a shielded CAN cable conforming to
CiA specifications with shielded connector for the
connection.
CAN connection pin
assignment
Terminating resistor 120 Ω (install jumper from
pin 1 to pin 2 for use)
CAN_L bus cable (dominant low)
CAN_H bus cable (dominant high)
The connection CAN Ground to ground is necessary to ensure EMC stability.
The common return (CAN_GND) may only be connected in one place to the ground
potential in the CAN network.
EMC stability is only guaranteed with shielded CAN cables.
