For small bit rates,
the delay of the
repeater can be
neglected
The listed values have been calculated on the basis of an idealized
system and can differ from reality
Note:
The PCAN-Repeater cannot be used to extend CAN
busses.
3.1.2
Busload- and Error Display
For the bus load and error display the use of standard bit rates is
provided. As soon as the adapter is successfully put into operation
in a network, the adapter runs automatic bit rate detection. As long
as no bit rate is detected and for the duration of the detection the
traffic LED is on, colored orange. After a successful detection the
bus load and errors are displayed with the traffic and error LEDs.
Details can be found in the following chapter.
For the following bit rates, the bus load and error display are
supported:
20 kbit/s, 33.3 kbit/s, 47.6 kbit/s, 50 kbit/s, 83.3 kbit/s, 95.2 kbit/s, 100
kbit/s, 125 kbit/s, 200 kbit/s, 250 kbit/s, 500 kbit/s, 800 kbit/s, 1 Mbit/s
