4.2.3 Maximum Bus Length
The maximum bus length depends primarily on the bit rate:
Nominal bit rate Buslength
1 Mbit/s
40 m
500 kbit/s
110 m
250 kbit/s
240 m
125 kbit/s
500 m
50 kbit/s
1.3 km
25 kbit/s
2.5 km
The listed values have been calculated on the basis of an idealized system and can
differ from reality.
Note:
For CAN FD, the same maximum bus lengths applys as for CAN,
despite the higher data bit rate of CAN FD. The dependency is based on
the bit rate during the arbitration, called nominal bit rate.
4.3 Example Application under Windows
As an example application for accessing the CAN interface, run the CAN monitor
PCAN-View from the Windows Start menu.
