CAN bus Wiring Information

The basic electrical architecture of a CAN bus consists of
a  single  twisted  or  shielded  wire  pair  with  a  device
connected at each end. Each end must be terminated with
a  120  ohm  resistor,  Flybox  code  105810.  Up  to  16
Omnia57 can be connected together through CAN 1 bus.
Ready-made  termination  resistors  and  wiring  for
connecting  several  Omnia57  together  are  available  in
different lengths: 25cm, 50cm, 100cm.
