Hardware Installation
There are no switches or jumpers to configure on the S1-A-7001.
2.2.1
Mounting
The S1-A-7001 can be installed in-line with a standard RS232 DE-9P to DE-9S straight-through cable. It
can also be attached directly to the back of a host computer DE-9P RS232 port.
2.2.2
Wiring
Connect the DE-9S connector to a RS232 port.
The CANbus interface is provided through a DE-9P connector as defined by the CiA DS102-2 pin-out. Bus
termination is
not
provided. A CANbus network requires 120Ω termination resistors at each end as noted
in Figure 2.3. Wiring to CANbus nodes through the middle of the network must ensure a short tap
length.
