CAN bus connection
The bus has to be terminated by 120 Ohm resistors at both ends. External units can be connected on
the CAN bus line in any order, but keeping line arrangement (no tails, no star) is necessary. Standard
maximum bus length is 200m for 32C CAN BUS MODE and 900m for 8C CAN BUS MODE. Shielded
cable must be used, shielding has to be connected to PE on one side (controller side).
1. For shorter distances (all network components within one room)
