1.3. Basic Operation
Two CANR-DF units are included in an order and both are required for each application – both
units are identical. It does not matter which is placed in which position with respect to the network topology
or other devices on the network.
There are two bus connections for each CANR-DF, referred to as the Copper Cable Network Side
(Side A) and Fiber Cable Network Side (Side B). The CAN Bus copper cable is connected to side A of the
CANR-DF receives its power from side A.
Figure 1-1 shows a typical application.
Whenever a message is transmitted on the Bus to which CANR-DF is connected, CANR-DF
receives the message on the side where it was initiated and performs a store-and-forward of the message
to the other side. This action is performed in each direction and is performed for any valid CAN message
independent of who generated it or to whom it is intended.
There is approximately a 900 µsec propagation delay of the message through the CANR-DF.
