2 Introduction
The I-7531 is a CAN repeater used to establish a physical coupling of two
or more segments of a CAN bus system. User can implement tree or star
topologies as well as for long drop lines with I-7531. Connecting via I-7531, the
division of a CAN system into several subsystems increases the maximum
number of bus nodes.
Figure1. Application of I-7531
The I-7531 is an optically isolated CAN repeater which provides 2500 Vrms
optical isolation allowing you to separate and protect critical segments of the
system from the rest of the CAN network. And its galvanic isolation isolates
both CAN segments from each other as well as from the power supply. The
CAN connection of I-7531 is by terminal blocks. A power supply of 10 ~ 30 VDC
is required. The I-7531 is housed in a rugged DIN-Rail mountable box, making
it easy to install in an industrial cabinet. Therefore, I-7531 can be used in
CANopen, DeviceNet and generic ISO 11898-2 standard.

Note 1: In some cases, the voltage level of CAN_GND of different CAN
device in the same CAN bus system are not equal. At this time, it
could cause some problems to derogate system staibility of this
CAN bus system.
There is one way to relieve this situation; user can connect the
CAN_GND between those CAN devices to achieve equal
voltage level of CAN_GND.
Wiring of CAN_GND is not necessary; user can modify the
configuration of wiring according to actual applications.
Note 2: Electronic circuits are constantly vulnerable to Electro-Static
Discharge (ESD), which become worse in a continental climate
area. FG(Frame Ground) provides a path for bypassing ESD to
earth ground, allowing enhanced static protection (ESD)
capability and ensures that the module is more reliable.
If user wants to use FG, both the Pin 7 and Pin 14 should be
connected to earth ground. Within the I-7531, Pin 7 and Pin 14
(FG) are not interconneced.

3.5 Status LED
When user turning the I-7531 on, the status LED of I-7531 will be display
with red light. Moreover, when a message passes through I-7531, the status
LED will be twinkle once with yellow light while the red light is still on.
Note 3: Twinkling rate correlates with baud rate of CAN bus. User may see
no twinkling when the twinkling period is too short because of the
higher baud rate of CAN bus. Besides, the yellow LED could look
like always on when bus loading is heavy.
3.6 Terminator Resistor Setting
According to the ISO 11898-2 specifications, the bus line of CAN_H and
CAN_L must be terminated by resistor for proper operation. The equivalent
resistance between CAN_H and CAN_L should be 60Ω. There are some
examples below.

On the other hand, the I-7531 module include two build-in 120Ω
terminator resistors, user can decide to enable those two terminator resistors
or not.
The JP2 of I-7531 is used for adjusting terminal resistor on CAN Port 1,
and the JP3 of I-7531 is used for adjusting terminal resistor on CAN Port 2.
Before adjusting JP2 or JP3 of I-7531, user needs to open the cover of
I-7531 first. Those locations of JP2 and JP3 are shown as following:

3.7 Cable Selection
The CAN bus is a balanced (differential) 2-wire interface running over
either a Shielded Twisted Pair (STP), Un-shielded Twisted Pair (UTP), or
Ribbon cable.
The table below show recommended DC parameters of CAN bus line.
Table2. Recommended DC parameters for CAN Bus Line
Wire Cross-Section [mm2] Resistance [Ω/km]
~0.25 (AWG23) < 90
~0.5 (AWG20) < 50
~0.8 (AWG18) < 33
~1.3 (AWG16) < 20
The recommended AC parameters of CAN bus line are 120Ωimpedance
and 5 ns/m specific line delay.

3.8 Driving Capability and Baud Rate
The relationship between ideal total bus length and baud are displayed
below.
Table3. Baud, Total Bus Length, and Number of I-7531
Baud [bit/sec] Ideal Bus Length without I-7531 [m] Max I-7531 Number
800K 50 1
500K 100 2
250K 250 6
125K 500 12
50K 1000 25
20K 2500 62
10K 5000 125
Note 4: When users add one I-7531 into a CAN network, the ideal total bus
length will reduce 40 meters because of the propagation delay of
I-7531. For example, if users use baud 500K and one I-7531, the
ideal total bus length will be “100 – 40 * 1 = 60 meters“.
After deciding the number of I-7531 and calculating the corresponding
ideal bus length, users can use the following table to know the maximum node
number in each segment and the maximum segment length when using
different type of wire.
