Figure 1: Block circuit diagram of the CAN-PCI/405-B4 The CAN-PCI/405-B4 is a PC board designed for the PCI bus. It supports four independent CAN interfaces. The four CAN interfaces can be connected via the 37-pole DSUB panel connector in the slot bracket.
Carefully push the board down until it snaps into place. Attach the board. Secure the cover with the according screws at the back of the PC. CAN-PCI/405-B4 Hardware Manual • Doc. No.: C.2041.21 / Rev. 1.2 Page 7 of 29...

The CAN-GND signals of the cables of the 4-channel cable adapter "CAN-PCI/405-B4- 1C4" are connected via the wire shield if the adapter is connected to the esd hardware. Thus the housings of the 9-pin DSUB connectors are connected to the respective CAN-GND, because no other potential is available on these connectors.

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 11898-2. Single shielded double twisted pair cable wiring as described in chapter 6.2.
If the used CAN interface is not equipped with an integrated CAN termination and it is at an ● end of the bus, use external termination plugs. 9-pin DSUB-termination connectors with male and female contacts and earth terminal are ● available as accessories CAN-PCI/405-B4 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 >>...
