3.4 CAN Bus Wiring
▪
CAN Bus High and Low are differential signals, so twisted pair
MUST
be used. Failing to
do so will compromise the entire CAN Bus System.
▪
In some extreme environments, shielded twisted pair may be required to help with
reliability and data integrity.
▪
The less connectors in any transmission system the better. Unnecessary connectors are
almost guaranteed to present an impedance discontinuity and hence may cause
reflections and data loss.
▪
CAN Bus termination must be done correctly by using a 120 ohm 0.25W resistor at each
END of the bus system.
▪
Maximum Stub length to a device from the main Bus is recommended at 0.3m, in
accordance with High-Speed ISO 11898 Standard specification. See Figure 3.3.
The ELC devices do
not
include an on-board CAN termination resistor, allowing the device to
be wired at any position on the Bus. CAN Bus termination must be done correctly by using a
120 ohm 0.25W resistor at each end of the bus system as mentioned above. Figures 3.1 and
3.2 show possible CAN Bus Implementation examples
