The CAN Data Telegram
Communication via the CAN bus consists of the transmission of data telegrams. Reference data, data for network
management, and data used to save data are sent with a CAN data telegram. There must be at least 3 recessive bits
between two telegrams (data frame or remote frame).
Principle Design of a CAN Data Telegram
Network Installation
When a network is installed, correct terminals on the bus lines are essential. Connect a terminating resistor of 120
ohm, 1/4 W power dissipation to both ends of the bus line between CAN_H and CAN_L (pin 2 and pin 7 of the CAN
cable). See the following diagram.
