Connecting the CAN Cable to the FP-1300
To connect an FP-1300 bank to the CAN network, complete the following steps.
A. Plug the Combicon-style connector into the CAN port.
B. Connect a shielded twisted-pair cable to the C_H and C_L terminals. Connect the shield of
this cable to the SH terminal. Refer to ISO 11898-2 for the maximum cable length between
the FP-1300 and the CAN network. C_H and C_L carry the data on the CAN network. For
noise immunity, solidly ground the shield of the cable as closely as possible to the FP-1300.
C. Connect a 10–30 VDC power supply to the V+ and V– terminals. V+ and V– supply power to
the CAN transceivers on the FP-1300.
D. Connect the other end of the CAN cable to a connector on the CAN network.
