OARD INSTALLATION
The ECAN1000HR CAN bus interface board is very easy to connect to
your industrial distributed control system. Direct interface to PC/104 sys-
tems as well as EUROCARD boards is possible. This chapter gives step-
by-step instructions on how to install the ECAN1000HR into your system.
After completing the installation it is recommended that you use the diag-
nostic and test software to fully verify that your board is working.
Board Installation
Keep your board in the antistatic bag until you are ready to install it to your
system! When removing it from the bag, hold the board at the edges and
do not touch the components or connectors. Please handle the board in
an antistatic environment and use a
grounded
workbench for testing and
handling of your hardware. Before installing the board in your computer,
check the jumper settings. Chapter 2 reviews the factory settings and how
to alter them. If any alterations are needed, please refer to the appropriate
instructions in this chapter. Do however note that incompatible settings
can result in unpredictable board operation and erratic response.
General installation guidelines:
•
Turn OFF the power to your computer and all devices connected to
the ECAN1000HR.
•
Touch the grounded metal housing of your computer to discharge any
antistatic build-up and then remove the board from its antistatic bag.
•
Hold the board by the edges and install it in an enclosure or place it on
the table on an antistatic surface.
•
Connect the board to the CAN field bus using the field bus interface
header connector J12. Make sure that the orientation of the cable is cor-
rect.
