CAN Communication
To connect the CAN communication cable:
•
Use 26 or 28 AWG twisted pair shielded cables. For best results, the shield should have
aluminum foil and be covered by copper braid with a drain wire (CAT5e FTP applicable).
•
Connect the shield to the ground of the host (PC). Usually, this connection is soldered
internally inside the connector at the PC end. You can use the drain wire to facilitate
connection.
•
Ensure that the shield of the cable is connected to the shield of the D-Type and RJ plugs.
The drain wire can be used to facilitate the connection.
•
Connect a 120 Ω termination resistor to each end of the network cable.
(The Gold Lion 100 does not have an internal terminal.)
•
Use the CAN termination dongle supplied as a second “device end”. Simply insert the
termination resistor into the CAN connector of the second end device on the bus. This is
only possible if there are two CAN connectors.
