CANbus is used for communication between CDU 600 units for group control. CANbus always requires at least 3 conductors:
2 signal wires (CAN Hand CAN L) and a 1 signal return path.
The CDU 600 provides 2 CAN H, 2 CAN L and 2 GND terminals on sockets SK9, 1, 2 and 3 for In and terminals 4, 5 and 6 for
Out.
Beldon 3106A, or equivalent (1 pair + 1 shielded 22AWG) is the recommended cable type to be used and pre-configured cable
assemblies are provided with each unit if required.
