 CANopen cable arrangement
The CANopen interface uses DSUB 9-pin plug connector. The plug is assigned with the
CAN_H, CAN_L and CAN_GND connections. CAN_H and CAN_L are two physically
different bus levels. CAN_GND is the common reference potential.
• The cable’s resistance value should be 70mΩ./m or less.
• The above diagrams shows the case used the cable connector “XM2D-0901“ by OMRON Co.
Line termination
To minimize the signal’s reflections from the end of the cable, a line termination shall be placed
close to the 2 ends of the bus. Connect both ends of the twisted pair cable(CAN_H and CAN_L)
to each LT. Use line termination whose resistance value is 120 Ω. (5%, 1/4 W maximum)
