Connector

Connector front

The CANmod.router uses a DB9 (D-sub9) connector for supply and CAN-bus (CAN-P). It uses a mini-USB connector for configuration, streaming, and firmware update.

Supply

The supplies are internally protected against reverse polarity and low-energy voltage spikes. Refer to the Electrical Specification for more details on the device supply.

The device can be powered through the DB9 connector using one of the below supply lines:

  • Supply (5-24 V), pin 9

  • Supply (5 V), pin 1

Warning

The Supply (5 V) pin tolerates 5 V only

Note

The CANmod.router can be directly powered from the CANedge 2nd port 5 V output.

GND

All GND (ground) pins are connected internally.

CAN L/H

The CAN L/H should be connected to the CAN-bus.

Warning

CAN-bus requires no common reference (ground). However, it is recommended that GND (ground) is carried along with CAN-L/H to prevent that the common-mode voltage is exceeded (resulting in transceiver damage)

USB

The USB can be connected to a PC via a mini-USB cable. For more information see USB.


Connector back

The four secondary CAN-buses (S1-S4) are connected through a shared DB25 connector. The buses (CAN-H, CAN-L and GND) are galvanically isolated[1].

Warning

The DB25 connector shield is connected to the primary supply ground through the device enclosure. Avoid connecting this to the isolated secondary busses.
