Communication

CAN Bus Termination

Minipack systems are shipped from factory with the CAN bus already terminated with 120Ω
resistors.
To ensure a correct bus communication and avoid data reflection, you must always terminate
the CAN bus with two 120Ω resistors, one at each end of the line. The figure shows a
Minipack system, with its controller communicating with the rectifiers via the CAN bus.
Smartpack assigns ID numbers to the rectifiers (software-assigned). The Smartpack's ID
numbers are assigned by DIP switches on the controller's side.
Installing PowerSuite ⎯ PC Application
The PowerSuite software application enables you to configure and operate the Minipack

If PowerSuite fails communicating via the standard COM port, find the COMx assigned to Smartpack, by selecting menu option "Tools >
Options" (click on the Find COMx button).
