Interfaces of the Device
4-10
4.2.1.2 Cable
The cable must have the following characteristics:
The maximum cable length depends on the baud rate used.
4.2.1.3 Termination
Terminate the CAN bus at both ends by terminating resistors (120 Ohm).
4.2.1.4 Diagnostic
A diagnostics LED is located at the rear of the operating device. The LED shows a
state of the bus system.
Figure 4-9 Arrangement of the CAN diagnostics LED
The diagnostics LED at the operating device has the following functions:
A shielded twisted-pair cable (cable type LiYCY-TP) complying with ISO 11898 must
be used.
