Terminating a Low Speed Fault Tolerant CAN Network - neoVI
Main

Applies to
neoVI Blue, neoVI Red, and neoVI FIRE

The Low Speed Fault Tolerant CAN network requires each node to be terminated with two resistors. The size of the resistors are based on the overall number of nodes in the network.

Each nodes termination resistors are in parallel. The resulting resistance for all of the resistors should be between 100 and 500 ohms. neoVI ships with 510 ohm resistors installed.

The termination resistors are installed in sockets on the neoVI printed circuit board. They can be replaced easily. Please see the hardware settings topic for information on how to change the termination resistors.

Please see the TJA1054 data sheet and related application notes for further information on Low Speed Fault Tolerant CAN network termination and network design.
