Page 6: Led States
1.5. LED States The CANdi has 2 LEDs located on the front of the CANdi. These LEDs indicate various state about the device, and is useful for diagnostics. The table below can be used to look up what corresponding LED color codes mean. -
Page 7: Installation
The CANdi can be mounted using the two 1-inch spaced through-holes located on the CANdi. 2.1. Wiring the CANdi Inputs The CANdi 6 Weidmuller inputs that can be used for connecting input power, input CAN, and outgoing CAN. An example of wiring the CANdi inputs can be shown in Figure 1. -
Page 8: Example Sensor Installation
12/06/2024 3. Example Sensor Installation CANdi simultaneously supports two Digital Input sources connected independently to S1In and S2In. Examples of how to wire commonly used sensors can be seen below. Important! Always consult the manufacturer documentation for your sensor. Different sensors behave differently depending on how they are wired. -
Page 9: Example: Limit Switch
CANdi User’s Guide www.ctr-electronics.com 12/06/2024 3.1. Example: Limit Switch In Figure 3, the limit switch COM is wired to V-/GND. The result of this wiring is such that pressing the limit level will cause the S1 input to transition into a “LOW” state. When the limit switch is not pressed, the S1 input will match the configured S1 Float State. -
