Low power devices can be supplied directly with 5 Volts over pin 1 and pin 9 of the
CAN connector, for example bus converters. Pin 1 and/or pin 9 are not in use at the
delivery state. For more information see section 2.1
Tip:
Connect a CAN bus with a different transmission standard via a bus
converter. PEAK-System offers different bus converter modules like the
