CAN bus termination The PowerView4 has a built-in 120 Ω terminating resistor for each CAN bus. In the supplied CAN cable, the corresponding connections for termination on CAN1 and CAN2 are bridged. If the PowerView4 is not to be the first or last device in both CAN buses, you can cut the bridges of the respective connections once. |
The conductors of the CAN cable included are assigned as follows:

If needed, use the supplied wire end ferrules to connect the strands to clamps.
If needed, connect the connector for shielding to the shield connection on the bottom side of the PowerView4 (position in section Connections) in order to connect the common shield of the CAN buses CAN1 and CAN2 to earth potential. For further details on the wiring of the CAN bus at CAN1, read the section CAN Bus Wiring CAN1.
The PowerView4 currently does not support any devices that can be connected to the PowerView4 via the CAN bus interface CAN2.
