CAN cabling

All available CAN components are shown in the Annex in section 12.2 p. 65 et sequ.
Connection examples can be found in section 12.3 from p. 68 on.
• An IRMA CAN BUS is a line-type BUS with short branch lines to the BUS devices.
• The sensor is connected to the IRMA CAN BUS with special connectors (sCON).
• IRMA CAN sensors are connected to the CAN BUS with 5-pole M12 CAN connectors (m/f)
(for a description of the CAN connectors see section 1.3.1, p.9).
• From the data transmission point of view the maximum line length of the IRMA-CAN
BUS is 40 m.
• H couplers ensure branching (branch line) to up to two CAN BUS devices per coupler.
The branch length describes the maximum length between a device (sensor, IRMA
gateway, CAN USB converter) and the CAN BUS (coupler).
• The maximum branch length (at 125 kbit/s) is 2 m.
• Unused branches on H couplers must be closed using M12 plug screws or closing caps.
• All devices (IRMA gateway, sensors and USB converter) can be located at any place in the
IRMA-CAN BUS.
• The individual devices are interconnected with K-M12CAN-XX-xm CAN cables and M12
H couplers of the CAN type ("XX"= 03 for K2
lengths available).
Special care is required when connecting an H coupler. After insertion of the positive-
locking plug-in connection it must be possible to tighten the knurled nut of the connector
simply by hand. Otherwise the connection is wedged and must be opened again.
When screwing a connector to an H coupler the maximum torque of 0.4 Nm must not be
exceeded.

• The BUS - sensor connection of the sCON-S (standard) is a branch line from its
CAN interface to the sensor connection. Any further sensors are connected to the
BUS via M12 H couplers.
• sCON-F-12 is equipped with two CAN connections. In addition to the electrical
connection of a sensor to the IRMA CAN BUS they also serve as a Y coupler, due to
their internal wiring. The BUS is continued from the second CAN connector to the
next sensor. At the last sensor a termination is installed.
