(esd Advanced CAN Core), implemented in the Altera ® FPGA . Attached to USB via FIFO's and driven by the esdACC, the CAN-USB/400 is designed for minimum latency CAN communication via USB. Advanced diagnostics and high resolution hardware timestamping are supported.
CAN FD (up to 5 Mbit) or CAN 2.0 A/B messages. The CAN FD bit rate range is validated for the esdACC CAN FD core from 10 kbit/s up to 5 Mbit/s. The CAN-USB/400-FD can also be used in Classical CAN Applications, because CAN FD is fully backwards-compatible with CAN.

Case View with LED and Connector Description 2.1 Indicator states of CAN LEDs The CAN-USB/400-Modules come with two green CAN LEDs (CAN0, CAN1). See Figure 4 on page 10 for the position of the LEDs. The Special Indicator States are indicated by both LEDs together.
In an adapter cable FE (functional earth) shall be connected to the cable shield. Please note that the CAN bus has to be terminated at both ends! esd offers special T-connectors and termination connectors for external termination. Additionally the CAN_GND signal has to be connected to earth at exactly one point in the CAN network.

Therefore the practical maximum number of nodes, bus length and stub length are typically much lower. esd has concentrated her recommendations concerning CAN wiring on the specifications of the ISO 11898-2. Thus this wiring hints forgoes to describe the special features of the derived standards CANopen, ARINC825, DeviceNet and NMEA2000.
6.2.1 General Rules NOTICE esd grants the EU 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 6.3. ensures the EU Conformity as well.
9-pin DSUB-termination connectors with integrated termination resistor and male and ● female contacts are available from esd (order no. C.1303.01). DSUB termination connectors with male contacts (order no. C.1302.01) or female contacts ● (order no. C.1301.01) and additional functional earth contact are available, if CAN termination and grounding of CAN_GND is required.
CAN bus line via short cable stubs. This is normally realised by so called T- connectors. When using esd's CAN-T-Connector (order no.: C.1311.03) it should be noted that the shield potential of the conductive DSUB housing is not looped through this T- Connector type.
5000 Table 11: Recommended cable lengths at typical bit rates (with esd-CAN interfaces) Optical couplers are delaying the CAN signals. esd modules typically reach a wire length of ● 37 m at 1 Mbit/s within a proper terminated CAN network without impedance disturbances like e.g.
Correct Wiring of Electrically Isolated CAN Networks 6.6 Examples for CAN Cables esd recommends the following two-wire and four-wire cable types for CAN network design. These cable types are used by esd for ready-made CAN cables, too. 6.6.1 Cable for light industrial Environment Applications (Two-Wire)
