  • Page 4: Introduction

    PCAN-Repeater – User Manual Introduction With the PCAN-Repeater a galvanic isolated connection can be established between two High-speed CAN busses (ISO 11898-2) with the same bit rates. The maximum isolation voltage is 5 kV. The CAN traffic is transmitted 1:1 to the other bus. The device is designed for use in industrial plants.

    The PCAN-Repeater now forwards the CAN messages 1 to 1. 3.1.1 Signal Delay The PCAN-Repeater has a transit time delay of 115 ns. This corresponds to a cable length of 23 m. Therefore, you should consider the dependence of the maximum length of a CAN bus on the bit rate at the installation of the repeater.

    CAN channel 2, but no data (and also no Acknowledge) is transferred from CAN channel 1 to CAN channel 2. At delivery of the PCAN-Repeater the listen-only mode is switched off. Note: The listen-only mode should be enabled only for one CAN channel.

  • Page 14: Application Examples

    Application Examples 3.5.1 Decoupling of two Bus Segments The PCAN-Repeater is used to establish a galvanic isolation between two bus segments. If a connected CAN bus is completely terminated, deactivate the termination on the repeater. If a CAN bus is not completely terminated, activate the internal termination for the appropriate channel.

    3.5.2 Implementation of a Stub Line The PCAN-Repeater is used to establish a physical coupling of two or more segments of a CAN network. With a tap on a CAN bus a long stub line can be implemented with several participants.
