3.1 CAN-Bus configuration
Before using the GCAN-208 converter, users have to configure the parameter of the CAN-Bus.
3.1.1 Configure CAN-Bus baud rate
The baud rate of CAN-Bus range from 5K to 1000K, configured by DIP switch.


Before power on the converter, open the shell of the converter. The baud rate can be configured by DIP switch. “1、2、3、4” are used to configure CAN1. “5、6、7、8” are used to configure CAN2. Table 3.1 is the example of the baud rate of CAN1.


3.1.2 Configure CAN-Bus termination
Two CAN channels of GCAN-208 converter have already integrated 120Ω termination by DIP switch.
3.2 Connect to Fiber
The two fiber interface of GCAN-208 converter is SC or ST. The fiber transmission mode is single mode or multi mode.
NOTE: When connecting the fiber, the RX should be connected to TX, TX to RX.
3.3 CAN-Bus에 연결
실제 사용 시에는 CAN_H를 CAN_H에, CAN_L을 CAN_L에 연결하기만 하면 통신을 구현할 수 있습니다.
The CAN-Bus network adopts topological structure, only the two furthest terminal need to connect 120Ω terminal resistance between CAN_H and CAN_L. For branch connection, its length should not be more than 3 meters. CAN-Bus nodes connection as shown in figure 3.1.


Note: CAN-Bus using ordinary twisted pair. The relationship between the bus length and baud rate is shown in Table 3.2.


3.4 시스템 LED
The GCAN-208 converter has integrated one POWER indicator, one SYS indicator, one Fiber indicator and two CAN indicators.More functions are shown in table 3.3 and 3.4.


After power on the converter, the POWER and SYS indicator lights indicate that power is being supplied and the system is initializing. Otherwise, it indicates power failure or an error occurred.
After the connection of Fiber Bus and CAN-Bus, when the bus has data transmission, corresponding Fiber and CAN indicators will flash.
