Connecting the CAN Bus
3.1
D-Sub Connector
A High-speed CAN bus (ISO 11898-2) is connected to the 9-pin
D-Sub connector. The pin assignment for CAN corresponds to the
specification CiA® 102.

(view onto a male connector on the PCAN-PCI card)
With the pins 1 and 9 devices with low power consumption (e.g. bus
converters) can be directly supplied via the CAN connector. At deli-
very these pins are not assigned. You can find a detailed description
in the following section 3.2.
Tip:
You can connect a CAN bus with a different transmission
standard via a bus converter. PEAK-System offers different bus
converter modules (e.g. PCAN-TJA1054 for a Low-speed CAN
bus according to ISO 11898-3).
