Interface CAN
Basis of the RO-Series is the interface. Enclosed you will find an introduction.
General
Transfer rate
The CAN-bus may have a length of up to 10 km! The selectable transfer rates are 1 Mbit/s, 500 Kbit/s, 250 Kbit/s, 125 Kbit/s, 100 Kbit/s, 50 Kbit/s, 20 Kbit/s or 10 Kbit/s. The transfer rate is configurable by software or by DIP-switches.
Special mode
The usage of this mode is to set the CAN-interface quickly to default values. This is helpfull for a quick and easy setup and facilitates an error analysis or an initial operation.
Software mode
The software mode is to fully setup the module using an included software. It is possible to set up:
- Transfer rate
- CAN 2.0A (11 bit-addressing, "base frame format") oder CAN 2.0B (29 bit-addressing, "extended frame format ")
- CAN-interface address
- Response-Modul-Address (responses are sent to this address)
