4.2 Signals, structure and bus topology
4.2.1
Bus signals
Good electrical noise immunity is achieved, among other measures, in that one bit is transmitted differentially
on two lines. The CAN-High and CAN-Low lines contain the inverted and the non-inverted serial data signal.
The state having two different levels on CAN-H and CAN-L is known as the dominant state. The state having
two equal levels is known as the recessive state.
According to the CAN definition, the dominant state corresponds to a logical zero (bus drivers have an open
collector output).
If a node puts a logical zero on the bus, it overwrites the state of a logical one from a different node.
4.2.2
Network topology
The CAN architecture used as a basis defines the physical structures of the CANopen network. This is based
on a bus (line) topology. To avoid signal reflections, the ends of the network must be terminated using a
termination resistor (120 ohm).
In addition, pay attention to the maximum stub length for connecting the individual network nodes.
