9 CAN Bus Setup
This section explains how to configure a CAN bus correctly. The following parameters must
first be set: Station number and data transfer rate.
9.1 CAN Bus Station Number
Each CAN bus station is assigned its own station number. With this station number, data
can be exchanged with other stations connected to the bus. In a CAN bus system however,
each station number can only be assigned once!
9.2 Number of CAN Bus Participants
The maximum number of participants on the CAN bus depends on the cable length, termi-
nation resistance, data transfer rate and the drivers used in the participants.
With a termination resistance of 120

, at least 100 participants are possible.
9.3 CAN Bus Data Transfer Rate
Various data transfer rates (baud rates) can be set on the CAN bus. The longer the bus line
is, the lower the data transfer rate that must be selected.
