CAN Bus
The CAN bus termination must be adapted to the individual configuration of the instru-
Termination
ment. For this reason, most PCBs have either jumpers or switches to connect the termina-
tion resistors, where appropriate.
In every case two participants of a CAN bus string must be terminated.
The example below shows how the implementation of an additional module (e.g. Module
3) may affect the CAN bus termination. Which modules exactly must be terminated de-
pends on the position of the module.
To check the termination, use the special cable to measure the resistance of the CAN bus
string.

PyroTec™ PRO Hardw are User's Manual, V1.2
Measuring cable (A) with RJ45 connector
(B) to PCB and plugs (C) to connect a multi-
meter Adapter cable (D) with distributor (T-
piece, E), used if all RJ45 connectors on the
PDB are occupied.
In this case, unplug one option. Connect the
adapter cable between the PCB and the
measuring cable and connect the option to
the T-piece.
