Step Procedure

see

page

Read the safety instructions at the beginning of this document

carefully, before you start with the hardware installation!

1. Connect the CAN-USB/2-module with the USB bus of the PC -

2. Please note that the CAN bus has to be terminated at both ends! esd

offers special T-connectors and termination connectors. Additionally the

CAN_GND signal has to be connected to earth at exactly one point in

the CAN network. Therefore the CAN termination connectors offered by

esd have got a grounding contact.

A CAN participant with a CAN interface which is not electrically isolated

corresponds to the grounding of the CAN-GND.

3. Switch on the power supply voltage of the CAN-USB/2. -

Note:

The software installation is described in the manual ‘CAN-API, Installation Guide’.
