Mount the CAN-Repeater module and connect the interfaces (power supply voltage, CAN). Please note that the CAN bus has to be terminated at both ends! esd offers special T-connectors. Additionally the CAN_GND signal has to be connected to earth at exactly one point in the CAN network.

Connector Assignments 5. Connector Assignments 5.1 CAN 1 Interface with Electrical Isolation (P3) In CAN-Repeater design ‘-opto’ (C.1330.06, C.1330.07) the interface CAN 1 is electrically isolated from the other networks. The signal assignment for this electrically isolated CAN interface is represented below.
CAN 3 is only available in the CAN-Repeater-Y versions (C.1330.03 and C.1330.07) CAN interface without Connector CAN-Repeater designs electrical isolation CAN 1 CAN-Repeater-I ( C.1330.02) , (without ‘-opto’ design) CAN-Repeater-Y ( C.1330.03) CAN 2 All CAN-Repeater versions CAN 3 CAN-Repeater-Y ( C.1330.03), CAN-Repeater-Y-Opto (C.1330.07)
Connector Assignments 5.3 Power Supply (P4A, P4B, UEGM) NOTICE The CAN-Repeater must not be connected to a DC power supply without protection against surge voltages. → Use an external overvoltage protection! → All current circuits which are connected to the CAN-Repeater have to be sufficiently protected against hazardous voltage (SELV according to EN 60950-1) before you start with the installation.
Therefore, the maximum achievable number of nodes, bus lengths and stub lengths may differ from the theoretically possible number! esd has limited its recommendations for CAN wiring to the specifications of ISO 11898-2. A description of the special features of the derived specifications CANopen, ARINC825, DeviceNet,...
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.
In principle the CAN bus must be realized in a line. The nodes are connected to the main ● CAN bus line via short cable stubs. This is normally realised by so called T-connectors. esd offers the CAN-T-Connector (Order No.: C.1311.03) If a mixed application of single twisted and double twisted cables cannot bei avoided, ●...
Correct Wiring of Electrically Isolated CAN Networks 6.3 Heavy Industrial Environment (Double Twisted Pair Cable) 6.3.1 General Rules The following general rules for the CAN wiring with single shielded double twisted pair cable should be followed: 1 A suitable cable type with a wave impedance of about 120 Ω ±10% with an adequate conductor cross-section (≥...
CAN bus line via short cable stubs. This is usually realised by so called T-connectors. When using esd's CAN-T-Connector (order no.: C.1311.03) in heavy industrial environment and with four-wire twisted cables, it must be noted that the shield potential of the conductive DSUB housing is not looped through this type of T-Connector.This interrupts the shielding.
5000 Table 5: Recommended cable lengths at typical bit rates (with CAN-Repeater) 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.
CiA 106: “Connector pin-assignment recommendations ”. 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.

CAN Troubleshooting Guide 7.2 Electrical Grounding The CAN_GND of the CAN network should be connected to the functional earth potential (FE) at only one point. This test indicates whether the CAN_GND is grounded at one or more points. Please note that this test can only be performed with electrically isolated CAN nodes. To test this, please proceed as follows: Disconnect the CAN_GND from the earth CAN_H...
