    DIN rail casing and extended temperature range support, it is suitable for use in an industrial environment. The PCAN-Repeater DR can be used in CAN FD buses with data bit rates up to 4 Mbit/s and nominal bit rates up to 1 Mbit/s. For operating the PCAN-Repeater DR in a CAN FD bus, there are notes in Appendix C on page 21.

  • Page 7: Influence On Maximum Bus Length

    PCAN-Repeater DR – User Manual Influence on Maximum Bus Length The PCAN-Repeater DR has a transit delay of 115 ns. This corresponds to a cable length of 23 m which reduces the maximum bus length. Due to the characteristics of the CAN protocol, the maximum bus length depends on the bit rate.

  • Page 9: Transmission Limitation

    Note: Use this function only for special purposes. An in-depth understanding of CAN bus communication is required. On delivery of the PCAN-Repeater DR, CAN communication is done in both directions without limitation. The transmission of CAN signals can be completely blocked in one direction.

    Repeater DR: Decoupling of Two Bus Segments (below) Implementation of a Long Stub Line (on page 15) Note: The PCAN-Repeater DR cannot be used to extend the length of a CAN bus beyond the maximum distance of two nodes. Decoupling of Two Bus Segments The PCAN-Repeater DR is used to establish a galvanic isolation between two bus segments (A and B).
  • Page 15: Implementation Of A Long Stub Line

    Implementation of a Long Stub Line The PCAN-Repeater DR is used to implement a long stub line. Normally, a CAN bus must have a line structure. Stub lines (connec- tions for nodes on the CAN line) may only be short in order to avoid a star structure that can affect high-frequency electronic signals.
