Termination
A High-speed CAN bus (ISO 11898-2) must be terminated on both
ends with 120 Ohms. Otherwise, there are interfering signal
reflections and the transceivers of the connected CAN nodes (CAN-
interface, control device) will not work.
The PCAN-PCI card does not have an internal termination. Use the
card on a terminated CAN bus.

Example of a Connection
Figure 4: Simple CAN connection
In this example, the PCAN-PCI card is connected with a control unit
by a cable that is terminated at both ends.
