Connecting a CAN Bus
3.1

A High-speed CAN bus (ISO 11898-2) is connected to the 9-pin
D-Sub connector. The pin assignment corresponds to the
specification CiA® 303-1.

Low power devices (e.g. bus converters) can be supplied directly
with 5 volts over pin 1 and/or pin 9 of the CAN connector. Pin 1
and/or pin 9 are not in use at the delivery state. For more
information see the next section 3.2.
Tip: You can connect a CAN bus with a different transmission
standard via a bus converter. PEAK-System offers different bus
converter modules (e.g. PCAN-TJA1054 for a Low-speed CAN
bus according to ISO 11898-3).
