Hints for Installati-
on
Please take care to observe the actual local safety regulations.
If devices are used in a fixed machine without a mains switch for
all phases or fuses, this equipment has to be installed. The fixed
machine must be connected to safety earth.
If devices are supplied by mains please take care that the select-
ed input voltage fits to the local mains.
Safety Notice If devices are supplied by 24V DC, this voltage has to be isolated
from other voltages.
The cables for power supply, signal lines and sensor lines must
be installed in a way that the device function is not influenced by
EMI.
Devices or machines for industrial automation must be construct-
ed in a manner that an unintentional operation is impossible.
By means of hardware and software safety precautions have to
be taken
Attention !
in order to avoid undefined operation of a automated
machine in case of a cable fraction.
If automated machines can cause damage of material or person-
nel in case of a malfunction the system designer has to take care
for safety precautions. Possible safety precautions might be a
limit switch or locking.

2. Operation of μCAN.8.dio-BOX
2.1 Overview
The μCAN.8.dio-BOX is the right solution for digital I/O-signals
via CAN.
Fig. 1: Digital I/O-Module μCAN.8.dio-BOX
The development in automation towards decentralized „intelli-
gent“ systems makes the communication between these com-
ponents quite important.
Modern automated systems require the possibility to integrate
components from different manufacturers. The solution for this
problem is a common bus system.
All these requirements are fulfilled by the μCAN.8.dio-BOX mo-
dule. The μCAN.8.dio-BOX runs on the standard fieldbus CAN.
Typical applications for the μCAN.8.dio-BOX are industrial auto-
mation, transportation, food industry and environmental techno-
logy.

The μCAN.8.dio-BOX runs with the protocol
according to the device profile CiA 401. Other protocol stacks are
available on request.
space saving and
compact
The μCAN.8.dio-BOX is designed for heavy duty applications.
The aluminium cast ensures protection class IP65. The compact,
space saving case gives the freedom to mount the module in
many places.
inexpensive and
service friendly
The quick and easy integration of the μCAN.8.dio-BOX in your
application reduces the development effort. Costs for material
and personnel are reduced. The easy installation makes mainte-
nance and replacement quite simple.

3.2 Operation Area
The μCAN.8.dio-BOX is a robust field module for acquisition and
manipulation of digital signals via the CANbus. Every module can
handle up to 8 digital I/O-signals. The port direction of each ter-
minal (input / output) is configured via software. It is not requi-
red to setup DIP-switches or jumpers for a configuration change.
The module has a power supply range of 8V - 60V DC.
The PCB is incorporated in a robust case of protection class IP65.
The μCAN.8.dio-BOX is suited for mounting outside the switch
cabinet. Long wires for actors or sensors are not longer necessary.
Influence of EMI is reduced.
The μCAN.8.dio-BOX needs four wires for connection to the po-
wer supply and CAN bus. Special CAN bus cables are available as
accessories (refer to Ordering Information).
Maximum System Layout Project Planning

3.3 Maximum System Layout
For an operational system at least one network manager (or su-
pervisor system) must be connected to the bus. This network ma-
nager might be a PLC or PC equipped with a CAN card. Every
μCAN.8.dio-BOX module is an active node.
A CANopen network manager can handle up to 127 network sla-
ves (refer to Fig. 3, “Maximum System Layout”). Every module
gets a unique address, which is set up via a DIP switch. The CAN-
bus bus is connected through the μCAN modules. The last mo-
dule in the network must be terminated by a termination switch
(refer to “Termination” on page 29).

The maximum cable length depends on the selected baudrate.
The following table shows the maximum cable length recom-
mended by the CAN in Automation (http://www.can-cia.org).
These distances can be realized with the μCAN.8.dio-BOX.

Assembly and Disassembly General Information
Page 17 MicroControl Version 2.00 μCAN.8.dio-BOX

4.2 General Information
Assembly The µCAN modules should be assembled on an at least 2 mm
thick mounting plate or direct in the plant. The module is fixed
with 2 screws of type M4, which are plugged into the bottom part
of the case. You find an assembly template in the appendix of this
manual.
Power Supply You need a cable with two conductors for power supply. The ca-
ble is inserted from the right side into the case, where the termi-
nals for power supply are located. However it makes sense to use
a cable with four conductors in order to run the CAN bus over the
same cable.
Earthed Conductor The non-fused earthed conductor is connected at the terminal
outside the case (refer to Fig. 5, “Connection of earthed conduc-
tor”). The non-fused earthed conductor may not lead inside the
case because of EMI.
The
Attention !
non-fused earthed conductor may not lead inside the µCAN
case and may not be connected to a terminal inside the case.
Abb. 5: Connection of earthed conductor
Attention !
Operation of the µCAN module is only permitted with closed
case.

4.3 Assembly
Assembly is performed with help of the template attached to this
manual. With the template all necessary bore-holes for screws of
type M4 can easily be drilled. If the module is directly fixed to the
machine make sure to take the proper drill size for tapping.
When fixing several modules at the same place please make
sure
Note
to leave some area for the PG screws.
For a quick identification of the modules during operation you
may use paper sticker. Please write down the ID that is set for the
module.
Please make sure that the first node and the last node in the CAN
network
Note
is terminated with a resistor (refer to “Termination” on
page 29).

4.4 Disassembly
Please make sure to disconnect the power supply from the device
first!
Open the cover from the module and remove the temperature
sensors first. Now you can remove the cables for CAN bus and
power supply from the terminals.
Unlock the fixing screws and remove the module. For a safe
transport remove the PG screws and close the cover again.

5.1 Potential Basics
The potential environment of a system that is realized with μCAN
modules is characterized by following features:
The CAN bus potential is isolated from the power supply.
The electronic of the μCAN modules is isolated from the po-
wer supply.
All μCAN modules have a separate power supply.
All I/O signals are optically isolated from the CAN bus poten-
tial.
