Controller Area Network Bus Features
The IR1800 features support for the Controller Area Network (CAN) Bus interface through two wires that
connect to the OBD-II connector of the vehicle.
The following are some of the characteristics of the CAN Bus:
• CAN Bus enables the ECU (electronic control unit) in a vehicle to communicate with all other ECUs
• Consists of two wires: CAN Bus High and Low, supporting data rate up to 1 Mbs
• High-speed CAN Bus 2.0B: ISO 11898-1 data link layer, ISO 11898-2 and ISO-11898-5 physical layer
• Maximum cable length between 500 m (125 kbit/s) and 40 m (1 Mbit/s)
• 120-ohms CAN Bus termination
