By means of the module CAN-CBM-DP any Profibus-DP master can be connected to a CAN network.
The DP/CAN gateway acts like a slave I/O component on the DP-bus, with a total of up to 300 bytes
input and output data. Maximum 244 bytes of the total of 300 bytes can be used as input data (with 56
byte output data) or maximum 244 bytes can be used as output data (with 56 bytes input data).
With the CAN gateway you can connect CAN modules with CANopen or layer 2 implementation to e.g.
a SIMATIC-S7. There are no limitations on CANopen PDO’s and SDO’s by the gateway and the
complete DeviceNet scanner functionality is supported. The number of CAN participants is not limited
by the module, too.
The module operates internally with a 68331 micro controller, which buffers the CAN and Profibus DP
data into the local SRAM. The firmware and configuration data are kept in the Flash EEPROM.
Parameters are stored by means of a serial EEPROM.
The ISO 11898-compliant CAN interface allows a maximum data-transfer rate of 1 Mbit/s. The
Profibus-DP slave interface automatically recognizes all usual bit rates up to 12 Mbit/s. The DP
interface as well as the CAN interface are electronically insulated by optocouplers and DC/DC
converters. The CAN is connected by means of a 5-pin screw/plug connector in Combicon design.
According to standard, the DP interface is equipped with a 9-pin female DSUB connector.
The module has a serial interface (default: RS-232) for servicing and configuration. It is connected by
means of a male DSUB9.
The data mapping of the CAN-I/O data of the DP slave is done by the Profibus Configuration tool, e.g.
PLC SIMATIC MANAGER. Additionally a configuration software is available under Windows 95/98
or Windows NT.
CANopen is supported as Layer-7 protocol on CAN.

The module DN-CBM-DP can link any Profibus-DP master to DeviceNet. The DN-CBM-DP gateway
acts like a slave I/O component on the DP-bus, with a total of up to 312 bytes input and output data.
Maximum 244 bytes of the total of 312 bytes can be used as input data (with 68 byte output data) or
maximum 244 bytes can be used as output data (with 68 bytes input data).
The module operates internally with a 68331 micro controller, which buffers the DN and Profibus DP
data into the local SRAM. The firmware and configuration data are kept in the Flash EEPROM.
Parameters are stored by means of a serial EEPROM.
The DeviceNet interface is designed according to the DeviceNet Specification Rev.2.0. All DeviceNet
bit rates are supported. The Profibus-DP slave interface automatically recognizes all usual bit rates up
to 12 Mbit/s. The DP interface as well as the DeviceNet interface are electronically insulated by
optocouplers and DC/DC converters. The DeviceNet is connected by means of a 5-pin screw/plug
connector in Combicon design. According to standard, the DP interface is equipped with a 9-pin female
DSUB connector.
The module has a serial interface (default: RS-232) for servicing and configuration. It is connected by
means of a male DSUB9.
For mapping the I/O data of the DP slave a configuration software is available under Windows 95/98

2. Circuit Description
2.1 CAN/DeviceNet Circuit
2.1.1 Interface Circuit
The CAN-CBM-DP module is equipped with an ISO 11898-compliant CAN interface, the DN-CBM-DP
with a DeviceNet interface. The same connector in Combicon design is used for the two types, the
assignment of the connector, however, differs. The following figures show both interfaces.

Note: The terminating resistors of the Profibus-DB networks have to be connected externally (see EN
50 170)!
The physical interface of the serial configuration interface can be configured as an RS-232, RS-422, RS-
485, TTY-active or TTY-passive interface. For RS-232 operation an RS-232A driver component is used
and for the other interfaces piggy-backs are used.
The serial interface is controlled by the 68331. The bit rate of the interface can be set by parameters. For
each interface type (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, TTY) a bit rate of up to 38,4 kbit/s is supported.
The following bit rates can be set by means of the software. The values in the second column shown the
actual bit rates, which result from the controller-internal conversion.
Below the wiring of the serial interfaces is shown. The figures are used to explain the terms for the
signals used in the appendix. In the appendix you can also find the circuit diagrams of the various
available piggy-backs.
The signal terms are exemplary for the connection of the CBM-DP as transmitter (terminal DTE).
The input signals CTS, DSR and DCD are not evaluated by the CAN-CBM-DP and DN-CBM-DP!

The CAN-CBM-DP/DN-CBM-DP is operated as a slave station whose addresses can be set in the range
decimally from 3 to 124 or hexadecimally from $03 to $C7. If an address smaller than 3 is set, address
3 is valid. If an address larger than 124 (decimal) or C7 (HEX) is set, address 124 is valid.
The upper coding switch (SW211) is used to set the MSBs, the lower coding switch (SW210) is used
to set the LSBs.
The CAN identifiers (CAN-CBM-DP) are set by means of a PROFIBUS-DP configuration tool (e.g.
SIMATIC manager). Information about this can be found in the ‘CAN-CBM-DP Software Manual’.
The MACID for the operation of the DN-CBM-DP module is set by the configuration received from
the PLC via PROFIBUS-DP, too.

Voltage is supplied by means of the screw connector UEGM, integrated in the case. It can be connected
to lines with a cross-section of up to 2.5 mm².
Assignment of the screw connectors is the same on both sides of the case. They can be used
alternatively. The middle contact is for +24 V and the two outer contacts are for GND.
Note: It is not permissible to feed-through the supply voltage, i.e. To use one side as 24 V input
and the other side as 24 V output in order to supply other devices!

The following general rules for the CAN wiring must be followed:
A CAN net must not branch (exception: short dead-end feeders) and has to be terminated
1. by the wave impedance of the wire (generally 120 W ±10%) at both ends (between the
signals CAN_L and CAN_H and not at GND)!
A CAN data wire requires two twisted wires and a wire to conduct the reference potential
2. (CAN_GND)!
For this the shield of the wire should be used!
The reference potential CAN_GND has to be connected to the earth potential (PE) at one
3.
point. Exactly one connection to earth has to be established!
When using double shielded wires the external shield has to be connected to the earth
6.
potential (PE) at one point. There must be not more than one connection to earth.
A suitable type of wire (wave impedance ca. 120 : ±10%) has to be used and the voltage
7.
loss in the wire has to be considered!
CAN wires should not be laid directly next to disturbing sources. If this cannot be avoided,
8.
double shielded wires are preferable.

use external terminator, because this can later be found again more easily!
9-pin DSUB-terminator with male and female contacts and earth terminal are available as
accessories
Earthing
CAN_GND has to be conducted in the CAN wire, because the individual esd modules are
electrically isolated from each other!
CAN_GND has to be connected to the earth potential (PE) at exactly one point in the net!
each CAN user without electrically isolated interface works as an earthing, therefore: do not
connect more than one user without potential separation!
Wire Length
Optical couplers are delaying the CAN signals. By using fast optical couplers and testing each board
at 1 Mbit/s, esd modules typically reach a wire length of 37 m at 1 Mbit/s within a closed net
without impedance disturbances like e.g. longer dead-end feeders.

5.1 Termination
The termination is used to match impedance of a node to the impedance of the transmission line being
used. When impedance is mismatched, the transmitted signal is not completely absorbed by the load and
a portion is reflected back into the transmission line. If the source, transmission line and load impedance
are equal these reflections are eliminated. This test measures the series resistance of the CAN data pair
conductors and the attached terminating resistors.
The measured value should be between 50 and 70 . The measured value should be nearly the same
at each point of the network.
4. Measure the DC voltage between CAN_L and GND 3 (see figure above).
To find the node with a faulty transceiver please test the CAN transceiver resistance (see next page).
5.3 Ground
The shield of the CAN network has to be grounded at only one location. This test will indicate if the
shielding is grounded in several places. To test it, please
The resistance should be higher than 1 M . If it is lower, please search for additional grounding of the
shield wires.
To measure the current leakage through the CAN circuits, please use an resistance measuring device
and:
1. Disconnect the node from the network. Leave the node unpowered 4 (see figure below).
2. Measure the DC resistance between CAN_H and CAN_GND 5 (see figure below).
3. Measure the DC resistance between CAN_L and CAN_GND 6 (see figure below).
Normally the resistance should be between 1 M and 4 M or higher. If it is lower than this range,
the CAN transceiver is probably faulty.
