DC2792B to DC2515B Reverse isoSPI Connection
A reverse isoSPI connection begins with the isoSPI
Master connected to the last (or top) DC2515B. Additional
DC2515B boards can be daisy-chained onto the iso-
SPI bus. Communication begins from the last (or top)
DC2515B then to the next lower DC2515B and, finally, to
the first (or bottom) DC2515B.
Figure 3 shows the following connections for two boards
on a stack interfaced to a PC:
1. Connect a USB cable from the PC USB port to the
DC2026 J5 connector.
2. Connect the DC2026 to the DC2792B dual master isoSPI
demo board.
a. Connect a 14-pin ribbon cable from the DC2026 J1
header to the DC2792B J1 header.
3. Connect the DC2792B to the DC2515B in isoSPI
mode. This DC2515B is the last (or top) board of a
two-board stack.
a. Connect a 2-wire twisted-pair patch cable from the
DC2792B J2 MAIN DuraClik connector to the top
DC2515B J5 isoSPI B DuraClik connector.
CAUTION! The 2-wire twisted-pair patch cable with
the DuraClik end plugs have 1mm thick center locking
tabs on the wiring side that must be pressed down to

release from the DuraClik receptacles. Failure to do
so may damage the cable and prevent board-to-board
isoSPI communication.
4. Connect or daisy-chain the DC2515B to another
DC2515B in isoSPI mode. This DC2515B is the first (or
bottom) board of a two-board stack. More DC2515B
lower boards can be daisy-chained together in the same
manner.
a. Connect a 2-wire twisted-pair patch cable from the
top DC2515B J4 isoSPI A DuraClik connector to the
next lower or bottom DC2515B J5 isoSPI B DuraClik
connector.
5. CAUTION! Prevent damage to the DC2515B. Refer to
Table 1 and confirm that the cell-voltage connections
to the screw-terminal block matches the DC2515B J1
pinout.
a. Plug the screw-terminal blocks into the J1 cell-voltage
connectors.
6. Refer to the Software Setup section of this demo manual
to properly setup the PC with the Arduino IDE software
to allow communication to the DC2515B boards.
DC2792B to DC2515 Redundant isoSPI Connection
A redundant isoSPI connection begins with the primary
(or main) isoSPI Master connected to the first (or bot-
tom) DC2515B and has a backup auxiliary (or aux) isoSPI
