Connect the CAN-USB/2-module with the USB bus of the PC Please note that the CAN bus has to be terminated at both ends! esd offers special T-connectors and termination connectors. Additionally the CAN_GND signal has to be connected to earth at exactly one point in the CAN network.
Therefore it is highly recommended to use a self-powered hub. 4.2 USB-Interface and Microcontroller USB-interface USB 2.0, bit rate up to 480 Mbit/s Microcontroller ARM7 microcontoller Table 3: USB interface and microcontroller CAN-USB/2 Hardware Manual • Doc.

6.1.1 General Rules Note: esd grants the EC Conformity of the product, if the CAN wiring is carried out with at least single shielded single twisted pair cables that match the requirements of ISO 118982-2. Single shielded double twisted pair cable wiring as described in chapter 6.2.
Use external termination plugs, because they can be rediscovered more easily than internal ● terminations within the CAN devices! 9-pin DSUB-termination connectors with male and female contacts and earth terminal are ● available as accessories Page 16 of 25 Hardware Manual • Doc.

DSUB9 connector from ERNI (ERBIC CAN BUS MAX, order no.:154039). The usage of esd’s T-connector type C.1311.03 is not recommended for single shielded double twisted pair cables because the shield potential of the conductive DSUB housing is not looped through this T-connector type.
Earthing can e.g. be made at a connector/T-connector. ● 6.4 Bus Length Optical couplers are delaying the CAN signals. esd modules typically reach a wire length of ● 37 m at 1 Mbit/s within a closed net without impedance disturbances like e.g. cable stubs >>...
- there are no open circuits in CAN_H or CAN_L wiring - your bus system has two terminating resistors (one at each end) and that they are 120 Ω each. CAN-USB/2 Hardware Manual • Doc. No.: C.2066.21 / Rev. 1.4 Page 21 of 25...
