1.1 Overview
The CANcheck allows simple testing of CAN networks during commissioning,
maintenance and troubleshooting. The battery-operated, portable device is con-
nected to the CAN network to be tested and operated via a clearly structured
menu.
The CANcheck measures line parameters – with network switched off
erating parameters – with network switched on.
Via line parameters it is checked whether the CAN network was correctly in-
stalled. Short-circuits, interruptions and incorrect cable properties are quickly de-
tected.
Via operating parameters it is checked whether the nodes in the CAN network are
working correctly. Missing identifiers and poor signal levels are quickly detected
and can be allocated to the individual CAN nodes.

Generally in the case of tests of line parameters, all CAN nodes should be disconnected from the CAN
network. Switched off nodes with a high internal resistance can remain connected.
