The data rate on each subnet can be different from the other subnets. DeviceNet identifiers or MAC ID checks are replicated on all subnets. EXTEND-A-BUS pairs are best viewed as an extension cord. Each EXTEND-A-BUS does not consume a permanent MAC ID and, therefore, is transparent to the network. TD960801-0MC...

EXTEND-A-BUS, the EXTEND-A-BUS can be snapped onto the DIN rail. Powering the EXTEND-A-BUS The EXTEND-A-BUS requires either low voltage AC or DC power in order to operate. Consult the specifications for power requirements. Power is provided to a four pin removable keyed TD960801-0MC...
Make connections as shown in Figure 2-2. Each power supply source must be sized for the full 4-watt load of the EXTEND-A-BUS. Do not assume that input currents will be balanced from the two supplies. TD960801-0MC...

“bus off” state. 2.5.1 CAN Port Assignments A five position open style male connector has been provided on the EXTEND-A-BUS for connections. See figure 2-5 for connector assignments. A mating female connector has been provided in order to make field connections. TD960801-0MC...

S (slave) position since their data rate will be set by the master EXTEND-A-BUS (the one connected to the master) which will broadcast the required data rate to all slaves once the data rate is determined. Autobauding functions for the three data rates: 125, 250 and 500 kbps. TD960801-0MC...
BNC backbone port. A length of RG-62/u cable, no shorter than 6 feet (2 m) nor longer than 1000 feet (305 m) is connected between the BNC-Tee connectors. At the open end of each BNC-Tee is connected a 93-ohm terminator (BNC-TER). This completes the basic connection. TD960801-0MC...
EXTEND-A-BUSes using BNC-Tee connectors to the backbone wiring. Make sure that any two EXTEND-A- BUSes are separated by at least 6 foot (2 m) of cable and that the complete cabling segment does not exceed 1000 feet (305 m). TD960801-0MC...
Fiber optic cable is available paired for this purpose. Usually the manufacturers' labeling is only on one cable of the pair which is handy for identifying which of the two cables is which. Establish your own protocol TD960801-0MC...

-CXS port from the EXTEND-A- BUS’ -CXB port, make sure that the -CXS port is located at one end of the segment and that no terminator is used. The length of a segment connecting a -CXB port cannot exceed 1000 feet (305 m). TD960801-0MC...
Note that the hub-to-hub distance can be a maximum of 610 m when using coaxial cable and that no terminators are used at the AI3 ports. However, the cables to the EXTEND-A-BUSes still cannot exceed 305 m. TD960801-0MC...
The result is that CAN networks are usually quite short and frequently less than 100 meters in length at higher speeds. To increase this distance either the data rate is decreased or additional equipment is required. TD960801-0MC...
Therefore, protocols such as DeviceNet, Smart Distributed System and CANopen are passed without modification. Theory of Operation The EXTEND-A-BUS is classified as a remote bridge and contained in a two piece metal enclosure suitable for panel TD960801-0MC...

ARCNET backbone. The ARCNET port operates at 2.5 Mbps. Each EXTEND-A-BUS requires a unique ARCNET node ID which has no meaning to the CAN segments. Node ID’s are automatically assigned by the EXTEND-A-BUSes themselves using an arbitration scheme upon power up. TD960801-0MC...

The CAN port must still be powered from the network itself since the EXTEND-A-BUS does not serve as a network power supply; however, the EXTEND-A-BUS can be powered from the 24 volt network power supply. TD960801-0MC...
Another solution is to increase the data rate on all devices to 500 kbps. Still another solution is to move problem devices to the local segment (the same segment as the scanner) in order to eliminate delays due to the EXTEND-A-BUSes. TD960801-0MC...

Using the same extension cord analogy, it would appear that a remote bridging system must be powered before or at the same time as the slave devices or master controller in order that all devices can execute initialization routines such as duplicate TD960801-0MC...
When LEDs flash, they will flash approximately at a rate of 0.5 seconds on and 0.5 seconds off. 3.4.1 CAN Status LED A dual color LED (red/green) is used to identify status of the CAN port. After a power-on sequence, the LED indications are as follows: TD960801-0MC...

Do consider the maximum length of the bus segment to include the cable attached to the hub ports. The -CXB transceiver requires a minimum distance between nodes. Adhere to this minimum since unreliable operation can occur. TD960801-0MC...

This represents the minimum distance between any two nodes or between a node and a hub. May require a jumper change on the EXTEND-A-BUS to achieve this distance. Table A-1. Permissible Cable Length and Nodes Per Segment Cable RG-62/u RG-62/u 50/125 62.5/125 100/140 TD960801-0MC Connectors...
