Page 11: Power Interfaces
If the power is fully connected, the "PWR" indicator will remain red. The power port of CANET-8E-U also has a ground terminal, which is used to connect to the ground for static electricity or surge discharge.
Page 12: Terminal Resistance Dip Switch
 Improve signal quality. CANET-8E-U uses a mechanical switch to select a terminal resistor. The DIP switch is at the bottom of the device, as shown in Table 2.2. The device's DIP switch is "ON" by default; that is, the default access terminal resistance is 120 ohm.
Page 13: Can Communication Interface
2.6 CAN Communication Interface The commonly used electrical connectors for CAN-bus communication interface are: DB9 socket, OPEN5 socket, OPEN3 socket, etc. The CANET-8E-U interface card integrates 1 to 8 CAN channels, which can be used to connect CAN-bus network or devices equipped with CAN-bus interface.
Page 14: Signal Indicators
User Manual 2.7 Signal Indicators The CANET-8E-U interface card has a power indicator PWR and a SYS indicator. Each corresponding channel has two CAN interface status indicators to indicate the operating status of the channel. Table 2.5 describes the indicators.
Page 15: Hardware Connection
User Manual 3. Hardware Connection In general, the CANET-8E-U can be used to bridge CAN_Bus and Ethernet, which interconnects your CAN_Bus and Ethernet and allows PCs to control the devices on the your CAN_Bus network through the Ethernet. Figure 3.1 shows a typical application.
Page 16: Working Modes
TCP connection with the client. Figure 4.1 shows the communication establishment process. Tip: In this mode, the client connects to the CANET-8E-U device over the "working port (see Table 6.1)" corresponding to the CAN port. ©2021 Guangzhou ZLG Electronics Technology Co.,Ltd.
Page 17: Tcp Client Mode
4.2 TCP Client Mode Figure 4.2 TCP Client mode communication In TCP Client mode, the CANET-8E-U will actively connect to the preset TCP server. If the connection fails, the client continuously tries to establish a connection with the TCP server based on the preset connection conditions. After establishing a TCP connection with the TCP server, two-way data communication can be carried out.
Page 18: Udp Mode
Tip: In this mode, CANET-8E-U uses "working port (see Table 6.1)" to receive UDP packets sent by user equipment; the data received by the CAN port of the CANET-8E-U device will be sent to the "destination port (see Table 6.1)" of six groups of valid "destination IP (see Table 6.1)".
