6.2CAN Bus
The bus coupling can optionally be galvanically isolated. With galvanic isolation the shield of the
CAN connector is connected to CAN ground through a 1 MΩ resistor and a 10 nF capacitor. The
shields of the CAN connectors are connected directly together.
For a not galvanically isolated interface, the CAN ground and PC ground are at the same potential.
For best noise immunity use shielded CAN cables.

In the low-profile version, only the D-Sub 9 connector of CAN 1 is implemented. It is possible to
output the signals of CAN 2 to a second slot bracket.
►To connect the second slot bracket to the interface, plug the ribbon cable in connector (1)
on the interface and in the connector on the second slot bracket.
6.3Expansions
The fieldbus expansion connectors can be used to extend each CAN circuit with fieldbus
expansions for additional fieldbuses (exclusively galvanically isolated interfaces). The signals of
the additional fieldbuses are applied to the corresponding CAN connector.
The CAN expansion board connector can be used to connect a CAN expansion board that can
provide up to two additional CAN interfaces and fieldbus expansions.

If there is a low-speed CAN transceiver on the fieldbus expansion, it is possible to switch via
software between the high-speed CAN transceiver on the interface and the low-speed CAN
transceiver on the fieldbus expansion. The signals of the fieldbus modules are connected to the
appropriate D-Sub 9 connector.
Simultaneous operation of low-speed CAN and LIN is also possible.

Use fieldbus expansions exclusively in conjunction with galvanically isolated CAN channels.
If fieldbus expansions are used, CAN 1 high-speed and LIN 1 have the same GND.
