Use an external power supply (DC +9 ~ +36V, 450mA) to connect to the POWER socket of the USBCAN-4E-U interface card. At this time, the indicator PWR is yellow. The physical form of the power interface is the OPEN3 terminal, and the connector schematic diagram and signal definition are shown in Table 2-1.
Figure 2- 1: DIP switch 2.3 CAN-bus Connector The USBCAN-4E-U interface card is integrated with 1~4 CAN-bus channels, which connect with the CAN-bus network or CAN-bus interface. The commonly used electrical connectors for CAN-bus communication interface are DB9 socket, OPEN5 socket, OPEN3 socket and so on.
When the USBCAN-4E-U interface card is powered on, the power indicator is yellow and the SYS indicator is red to indicate that the device is powered on and the system is being initialized. Otherwise, it indicates that there is system power supply fault or serious system error.
2.5 System Connection 2.5.1 CAN-bus Connection When the USBCAN-4E-U interface card is connected to CAN-bus Bus, users only need to connect CAN_L with CAN_L signal, CAN_H with CAN_H signal. The CAN-bus network uses linear topology, and the two terminals of bus should be connected with a 120Ω...
The USBCAN-4E-U interface card is connected to the PC via an external USB bus hub. If a USB hub powered by the bus is used, the USBCAN-4E-U interface card must use an external power supply (DC +9 ~ +36V, 200mA) and use the external power supply mode.
