Additional specification – Part 1: Cabling and connector pin assignment
Stub cable
The stub cable is an un-terminated cable, and should be as short as possible.
Socket connector
The socket connector may be powered.
Plug connector
The plug connector should be not powered; this is the reason why most devices are equipped
with plug connectors.
T-connector
The T-connector provides a point of attachment onto the bus cable. Devices may be
connected to the network either directly to the T-connector or with a stub cable. T-connectors
also provide easy removal of a device without disrupting network operation.
4 Naming convention
If connectors are used that are not mentioned in this document, the pins shall be named
(either in the accompanying manual or directly on the device) using the terminology shown in
Table 1.

5.1 Bus cable and termination resistors
The cables, connectors and termination resistors used in CANopen networks shall meet the
requirements defined in /ISO11898-2/. In addition, here are given some guidelines for
selecting cables and connectors.

64 nodes.

Additional specification – Part 1: Cabling and connector pin assignment
For drop cables a wire cross-section of 0,25 to 0,34 mm2 may be an appropriate choice in
many cases.
Besides the cable resistance, there shall be considered the real resistance of the connectors,
if calculating the voltage drop. The transmission resistance of one connector should be in the
range of 2,5 to 10 mΩ.

NOTE: If driving more than 64 nodes and/or more than 250 m bus length the accuracy of the VCC supply voltage for
the /ISO11898-2/ transceiver is recommended to be 5 % or better. You also have to consider the minimum supply
voltage of at least 4,75 V when driving 50 Ω load, i.e. 64 bus nodes, and at least 4,9 V when driving 45 Ω load, i.e.
100 bus nodes.
5.2 Un-terminated stub cable
As a rule of thumb, the following relation may be considered for a single stub cable length Lu:
with the specific line delay per length unit
and the time of the propagation segment
.
But also the cumulative drop length Lui should be considered, which is given by the following
relation:

! Lu
Additional specification – Part 1: Cabling and connector pin assignment
This effectively leads to a reduction of the maximum trunk cable length by the sum of the
actual cumulative drop cable length at a given bit rate. If the above recommendations are met,
then the probability of reflection problems is considered to be fairly low.
5.3 CAN ground and galvanic isolation
In complete galvanically isolated CANopen networks CAN ground signal is carried in the cable
line. It is connected at only one point with the CAN ground potential. If one CAN device with
not galvanically isolated interface is connected to the network, the connection with the CAN
ground potential is given. Therefore only one device with not galvanically isolated interface
may be connected to the network.
The user is responsible to guarantee that the common mode rejection of the transceivers has
still reached the upper limit.
5.4 External power supply
The recommended output voltage at the optional power supply is +18 VDC < V+ < +30 VDC in
order to enable the use of standard power supplies (24 VDC).
