The CAN-bus makes it possible to use different data transmission rates, in which the boud rate is
indirectly proportional to the length of the bus. If the network is only slightly extended, higher
baud rates up to 500 kbit/s are possible. In case of larger extensions, the baud rate has to be
lowered (to a min. transmission rate of 10 kbit/s). The following table explains the relationship
between baud rate and length of the bus or extension of the network. In principle, bus lengths
over 1000 meters should only be realized with repeaters.
Please see the CAN bus principles chapter on page 36 in the appendix of this document as well
as the instruction manuals of the connected devices for further information on CAN bus
(especially on system examples and performance specifications).
