Figure 22 - Connecting Smart Bdfb With External Cxc Hp Controller - Alpha Smart BDFB Technical Manual

4.5.2 Smart BDFB with external CXC HP Controller
• Power cable is not used
• Connect the CAN cables to Smart VI monitor, and then route to the CAN adapter
• An RJ45 cable is used to connect the CAN adapter to the next BDFB. The CAN adapter to allows for runs of
greater than 10ft between BDFBs
• If the CXC HP controller is not close to the first BDFB in the chain, an additional CAN adapter will be re-
quired to connect the controller to the first BDFB. Use a shielded RJ45 cable.

4.5.3 CAN Adapter Ports
Port 1: CAN IN, connect the RJ11 cable from the CAN IN on the BDFB VI Monitor to this port
Port 2: CAN IN, connect an RJ45 cable from an upstream CAN device to this port (e.g., CXC-HP controller or an-
other BDFB VI Monitor/CAN connector device)
Port 3: CAN OUT, connect the RJ11 cable from the CAN OUT on the BDFB VI Monitor to this port
Port 4: CAN OUT, connect an RJ45 cable from a downstream CAN device to this port (e.g., another BDFB VIM
in the CAN network)
