3. Communication connection
3.1 Serial port connection
GCAN-IO-8000 CANopen bus coupler uses standard serial port level (RS232:
±3~15V), so the module can be directly connected to devices with RS232 interface.
The baud rate of the RS232 interface of the GCAN-IO-8000 CANopen bus coupler
cannot be modified and is fixed at 19200bps.
3.2 CAN connection
GCAN-IO-8000 module is connected to the CAN bus as described in 2.2. Connect
CAN_H to CAN_H and CAN_L to CAN_L to establish communication.
The CAN-bus network adopts a straight-line topology structure, and the two furthest
terminals of the bus need to install 120Ω terminal resistance; if the number of nodes is
greater than 2, the intermediate nodes do not need to install 120Ω terminal resistance.
For branch connections, the length should not exceed 3 meters. The connection of
CAN-bus bus is shown in Figure 3.1.
Figure 3.1 Topology of CAN-bus network
Please note: CAN-bus cable can use ordinary twisted pair and shielded twisted
pair. The theoretical maximum communication distance mainly depends on the
bus baud rate. For the relationship between the maximum bus length and baud
rate, see Table 3.1. If the communication distance exceeds 1km, the
cross-sectional area of the line should be greater than Φ1.0mm2, the specific
specifications should be determined according to the distance, and the
conventional is to increase appropriately as the distance increases.
