PCAN-PC Card – User Manual
9
Note:
The software for switching the 5-Volt supply is not part of
delivery. On this matter please contact PEAK-System (
on page 2).
When using this option the 5-Volt supply is directly connected to the
power supply of the PCAN-PC Card (coming from the computer)
and is not fused separately. The opto-decoupled versions of the
card contain an interconnected DC/DC converter. Therefore the
current output is limited to about 50 mA.
Attention!
Risk of short circuit!
If the option described in this
section is activated, you may only connect or disconnect CAN
cables or peripheral systems (e.g. bus converters) to or from
the PCAN-PC Card while it is de-energized (the card is not
connected to the computer). Consider that some computers still
supply the PC Card slot with power even when they are turned
off (standby operation).
