Read the safety instructions at the beginning of this document
carefully, before you start with the hardware installation!
1.
Connect the CAN-USB/2-module with the USB bus of the PC
-
2.
Please note that the CAN bus has to be terminated at both ends!
esd
offers special T-connectors and termination connectors. Additionally the
CAN_GND signal has to be connected to earth at
exactly one
point in
the CAN network. Therefore the CAN termination connectors offered by
esd have got a grounding contact.
A CAN participant with a CAN interface which is not electrically isolated
corresponds to the grounding of the CAN-GND.

3.
Switch on the power supply voltage of the CAN-USB/2.

Note:
The software installation is described in the manual ‘CAN-API, Installation Guide’.
