Termination of the CAN Buses

Depending on the used CAN transceiver module you can activate or
change the CAN bus termination for each CAN connection CAN 1 to
CAN 4 with switch blocks S1 to S4. Switches 1 and 2 on a switch
block always must have the same position. By default, internal
termination is not activated.
Tip: We recommend adding termination at the CAN cabling, for
example with termination adapters (e.g. PCAN-Term). Thus,
CAN nodes can be flexibly connected to the bus.
Do the following to activate the termination:
Attention! Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy
components on the circuit board of the PCAN-Router Pro. Take
precautions to avoid ESD when handling the circuit board.
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Unscrew the four screws at the upper corners of the
housing on the front and back.
3. Remove the housing cover.
4. Unscrew the two screws at the lower corners of the front
cover.
5. Pull out with the front panel the board from the bottom side
of the housing to the front.
6. Apply the desired termination using switch blocks S1 to S4
(CAN 1 to CAN 4).
Make sure that both DIP switches (1/2) on the switch block
are in the same position.
