6.2 Light Industrial Environment (
Single
Twisted Pair Cable)
6.2.1 General Rules
NOTICE
esd grants the EU Conformity of the product, if the CAN wiring is carried out with at least
single shielded
single
twisted pair cables that match the requirements of ISO 11898-2.
Single shielded
double
twisted pair cable wiring as described in chapter 6.3. ensures the
EU Conformity as well.
The following
general rules
for CAN wiring with single shielded
single
twisted pair cable should be
followed:
1
A cable type with a wave impedance of about 120 Ω ±10% with an adequate conductor cross-section
(≥ 0.22 mm²) has to be used. The voltage drop over the wire has to be considered.
2
For light industrial environment use at least a two-wire CAN cable.
Connect
•
•
the two twisted wires to the data signals (CAN_H, CAN_L) and
the cable shield to the reference potential (CAN_GND).
3
The reference potential CAN_GND has to be connected to the functional earth (FE) at exactly
one
point.
4
A CAN net must not branch (exception: short cable stubs) and has to be terminated with the
characteristic impedance of the line (generally 120 Ω ±10%) at both ends (between the signals CAN_L
and CAN_H and
not
at CAN_GND).
5
Keep cable stubs as short as possible (l < 0.3 m).
6
Select a working combination of bit rate and cable length.
7
Keep away cables from disturbing sources. If this cannot be avoided, double shielded wires are
recommended.
