Fieldbus expansions
The fieldbus expansion connectors can be used to extend each CAN circuit with fieldbus expan-
sions for additional fieldbuses. The signals of the additional fieldbuses are applied to the corre-
sponding CAN connector.

MultiCAN expansion
Fig. 8
MultiCAN expansion
Using a MultiCAN expansion the number of available CAN high speed channels on a Sub-D9
connector of specific CAN interface is doubled and the number of required computer slots is
halved.
MulitCAN-PB is used in conjunction with the standard version.
MulitCAN-PB/LP is used in conjunction with the low-profile version.
7.3.1
MultiCAN-PB
The expansion redirects the channel CAN 3 to the Sub-D9 connector of CAN 1 and channel
CAN 4 to Sub-D9 connector of CAN 2. Galvanic isolation of CAN channels will remain.
The use of the following expansions is not possible:
•
CAN expansion board
•
fieldbus expansion
Compatibility
The MultiCAN-PB expansion is compatible with the following, galvanically isolated two chan-
nel CAN interfaces (standard version):
•
CAN-IB100/PCIe
•
CAN-IB200/PCIe
•
CAN-IB300/PCI
•
CAN-IB400/PCI
