CAN-Bus Interface connector X13/X14

AKD2G drives with connectivity option C can be connected to a CAN-Bus by using two 6-pin RJ25 connectors X13/X14.

  • RJ25
  • Up to 1000 kbit/s operation
  • Node ID to be set by WorkBench
  • Baudrate to be set by WorkBench

CAN-Bus Topology

We recommend the use of Kollmorgen CBP000 cables.

Cable requirements

To meet ISO 11898, a bus cable with a characteristic impedance of 120 Ω should be used. The maximum usable cable length for reliable communication decreases with increasing transmission speed.

As a guide, you can use the following values measured by Kollmorgen; however, these values are not assured limits:

  • Characteristic impedance: 100–120 Ω
  • Cable capacitance max.: 60 nF / 1000 m
  • Lead loop resistance: 159.8 Ω / 1000 m

Lower cable capacitance (max. 30 nF / 1000 m) and lower lead resistance (loop resistance,
115 Ω / 1000 m) allow larger distances. The characteristic impedance 150 ± 5 Ω requires terminating resistor 150 ± 5 Ω.

Communication profile

CAN-Bus Wiring

 

Baud rate for CAN-Bus 

The transmission rate can be set by using the parameter CANBUS.BAUD in WorkBench.

With a fix baud rate, the drive sends the boot up message with the baud rate saved in the drive's non volatile memory after a power cycle.

Node Address for CAN-Bus 

The node address can be set by using parameter CANBUS.NODEID in WorkBench.

After changing the node address, you must turn off the 24 V auxiliary supply for the drive and then turn it on again.

CAN-Bus Termination 

The last bus device on both ends of the CAN-Bus system must have termination resistors. The AKD2G has built-in 132 Ω resistors that can be activated by connecting pins 1 and 6. An optional termination plug is available for AKD2G (AKD-CAN-TERMINATION). The optional termination plug is an RJ25 connector with an enclosed wire jumper between pins 1&6. The termination plug should be inserted into the X13 connector of the last drive in the CAN network.

Remove the termination connector if the AKD2G is not the last CAN-Bus device and use X13 for connecting the next CAN node.
