The MP55 module is set up, and its parameters are assigned, using either the key- board and display or the PME Assistent. The PME Assistent provides an easy operator interface under MS-Windows and this is used for assigning parame- ters to modules (as described in the ”PME Assistant”...

Fig. 4.5: Four-wire transducer connection NOTE Use standard HBM cable for the transducer connection. When using other shielded, low-capacitance measuring cable, connect the trans- ducer cable shielding to the connector housing in accordance with the HBM Greenline concept (publication S1578).
The CAN-bus needs a terminating impedance of 120 Ω in the first and last bus users. The bus line can have a maximum of two terminating resistors. The MP55 module has a built-in terminating resistor which is enabled by toggle switch S14 (see page 11).
PME-MP55 4.5 Synchronisation Synchronisation is advisable when D the transducer cables are connected in parallel to several devices D unshielded channels lie close together Synchronisation prevents carrier-frequency differences giving rise to beat in- terference.

CAN interface description 7.1 Introduction The MP55 module has a built-in CAN-interface which may be used not only for data transmission but also for assigning parameters to the module. The baud rate is selectable; the maximum possible is 1 MBaud. The interface pro- tocol is based on the CANopen standard.
