3.4 CAN/DeviceNet Unit
3.4.1 General
The CPCI-405 has got two independent CAN-channels. Each of these CAN-channels has got its own
SJA1000 controller.
CAN-channel CAN0 can be accessed via 9-pin DSUB connector X1000 in the front panel. An
82C250/82C251 is used as driver unit. The differential CAN-bus signals are electrically insulated from
other potentials.
The signals of CAN-channel CAN1 are at post connector X1010 in the form of TTL-signals. The TTL-
signals of CAN0 are also led to this connector. By means of a flat ribbon cable two adapter boards can
be connected to X1010. These adapter boards are available with the physical layer for CAN (ISO11898
with DSUB-connector), or with the physical layer for DeviceNet (Combicon socket). The flat ribbon
cable for the connection of adapter boards can be fed through from one board to the next. This
minimizes the wiring within the case.
Note: If the option of the external CAN or DeviceNet interface is used for CAN-channel CAN0
via the adapter board, the local CAN-interface cannot be used anymore, because it would
require a change in the equipping!
