single wire wiring for GM LAN

Solved!
Go to solution

Can I just connect a PXI-8513/XS to a GM LAN using the pin 3 to GND, pin 9 to 12Vdc and pin 7 CAN_H to the GM LAN?

is it required to connect the pin 5 COM to GND?. I'm using a non terminated cable to conect my interface to my device

Hello, 

 

It's not necessary to connect pin 5 as this pin correspond to an optional Shield. Here is the CAN manual where you can verify the information (Single Wire CAN)

Depending on the baud rate that you are using, you could have problems if not using a terminated cable (low-speed may work but at higher speeds you may encounter some problems).

 

I hope this is useful!

 

Regards
