Capabilities

The protocol and function supported by the CAN port is CANopen.

Characteristics

The following table describes the CAN characteristics:

NOTE:  

1 Part 1 and Part 2 of ISO 11898:2002 are equivalent to ISO 11898:1993.

2 The isolation of the electronic module is 500 Vac RMS between the electronics powered by TM5 power bus and the part powered by 24 Vdc I/O power segment connected to the module. In practice, the TM5 electronic module is installed in the bus base, and there is a bridge between TM5 power bus and 24 Vdc I/O power segment. The two power circuits reference the same functional ground (FE) through specific components designed to reduce effects of electromagnetic interference. These components are rated at 30 Vdc or 60 Vdc. This effectively reduces isolation of the entire system from the 500 Vac RMS.

3 A resistor (R) is needed on each end of the CAN field bus.

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

Do not connect wires to unused terminals and/or terminals indicated as “No Connection (N.C.)”.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

CANopen Status

Description

OFF

No CANopen configured

CANopen is not active in the application

Single flash red / with green ON

Acceptable detected error limit threshold has been reached

The controller has detected that the maximum number of error frames has been reached or exceeded.

Double flash red / with green ON

Node Guarding or Heartbeat event

The controller has detected either a Node Guarding or Heartbeat exception for the CANopen master or slave device.

Red ON

Bus off

The CANopen bus is stopped

Green ON

The CANopen bus is operational
