This document explains how to connect to the National
Instruments 9862.
The NI 9862 module requires the latest NI-XNET software to be
installed. The latest version of the NI-XNET software is at
ni.com/downloads.
Note Before you begin, complete the software and
hardware installation procedures in your chassis
documentation.
Note The guidelines in this document are specific to
the NI 9862. The other components in the system might
not meet the same safety ratings. Refer to the
documentation for each component in the system to
determine the safety and EMC ratings for the entire
system.
Safety Guidelines
Operate the NI 9862 only as described in this document.

Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations
The NI 9862 is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A,
B, C, D, T4 hazardous locations; Class I, Zone 2, AEx nA IIC T4
and Ex nA IIC T4 hazardous locations; and nonhazardous
locations only. Follow these guidelines if you are installing the
NI 9862 in a potentially explosive environment. Not following

Caution Do not remove modules unless power has
been switched off or the area is known to be
nonhazardous.
Caution Substitution of components may impair
suitability for Class I, Division 2.
Caution For Division 2 and Zone 2 applications,
install the system in an enclosure rated to at least IP54
as defined by IEC/EN 60079-15.
Caution For Zone 2 applications, install a protection
device between the CAN signals and the NI 9862 CAN
pins. The device must prevent the CAN Port-to-COM
voltage from exceeding 55 V if there is a transient
overvoltage condition.
Special Conditions for Hazardous Locations Use in

is suitable for use in Zone 2 hazardous locations, in ambient
temperatures of -40 °C ≤ Ta ≤ 70 °C. If you are using the NI 9862
4| ni.com | NI 9862 Getting Started Guide

in Gas Group IIC hazardous locations, you must use the device in
an NI chassis that has been evaluated as Ex nC IIC T4, Ex IIC
T4, Ex nA IIC T4, or Ex nL IIC T4 equipment.
Caution You must make sure that transient
disturbances do not exceed 140% of the rated voltage.

not more than Pollution Degree 2, as defined in
IEC 60664-1.
Caution The system shall be mounted in an
ATEX/IECEx-certified enclosure with a minimum
ingress protection rating of at least IP54 as defined in
IEC/EN 60079-15.
Caution The enclosure must have a door or cover
accessible only by the use of a tool.
Wiring the NI 9862
The NI 9862 has one 9-pin male D-Sub connector that provides
connections to a CAN bus. The NI 9862 has pins for CAN_H and
NI 9862 Getting Started Guide | © National Instruments | 5

CAN_L, to which you connect the CAN bus signals. Connect
these signals using twisted-pair cable.
The port has two common pins (COM) that are internally
connected to the module’s isolated reference and serve as the
reference ground for CAN_H and CAN_L. You can connect the
CAN bus reference ground (sometimes referred to as CAN_V-) to
one or both COM pins. The port also has an optional shield pin,
SHLD, that you can connect to a shielded CAN cable.
Connecting SHLD may improve signal integrity and EMC
performance in a noisy environment.
Caution You must use a UL listed ITE power supply
marked LPS with the NI 9862.
The NI 9862 requires an external power supply of +9 to +30 V to
operate. Supply power to the NI 9862 VSUP pin.
Note Power on VSUP is required for CAN operation.
The NI 9862 pinout is listed in Table 1.
The NI 9862 features software-selectable bus termination for
High-Speed CAN transceivers. On the NI 9862, you can enable

120 Ω termination resistors between CAN_H and CAN_L
through an API call. Table 3 lists recommended termination
resistor values.

CAN Bus Topology and Termination
A CAN bus consists of two or more CAN nodes cabled together.
The CAN_H and CAN_L pins of each node are connected to the
main CAN bus cable through a short connection known as a
“stub.” The pair of signal wires, CAN_H and CAN_L, constitutes
a transmission line. If the transmission line is not terminated,
each signal change on the bus causes reflections that may cause
communication errors. Because the CAN bus is bidirectional,
both ends of the cable must be terminated. However, this
requirement does not mean that every node on the bus should
have a termination resistor; only the two nodes at the far end of
the cable should have termination resistors.
Figure 1 shows a simplified diagram of a CAN bus with multiple
CAN nodes and proper termination resistor (Rt) locations.

Cabling Requirements for the NI 9862
Cable Specifications
Cables should meet the physical medium requirements specified
in ISO 11898, shown in Table 2. Belden cable (3084A) meets all
these requirements and should be suitable for most applications.
Table 2. ISO 11898 Specifications for Characteristics of a CAN_H and
CAN_L Pair of Wires
Characteristic Value
Impedance 95 Ω min,
120 Ω nominal,
140 Ω max
Length-related resistance 70 mΩ/m nominal
Specific line delay 5 ns/m nominal
NI 9862 Getting Started Guide | © National Instruments | 11

Termination Resistors
The termination resistors (Rt) should match the nominal
impedance of the CAN cable and therefore comply with the
values in Table 3. The onboard, software-selectable termination
has a nominal value of 120 Ω. If you are not using the onboard
termination, use the values listed in Table 3.

Cable Lengths
The cabling characteristics and desired bit transmission rates

12 | ni.com | NI 9862 Getting Started Guide

length recommendations in the ISO 11898, CiA DS 102, and
DeviceNet specifications.
ISO 11898 specifies 40 m total cable length with a maximum
stub length of 0.3 m for a bit rate of 1 Mb/s. The ISO 11898
specification says that significantly longer cable lengths may be
allowed at lower bit rates, but you should analyze each node for
signal integrity problems.
Number of CAN Nodes
The maximum number of nodes depends on the electrical
characteristics of the nodes on the network. If all nodes meet the
ISO 11898 requirements, you can connect at least 30 nodes to the
bus. You can connect higher numbers of nodes if the nodes’
electrical characteristics do not degrade signal quality below ISO
11898 signal level specifications.
The NI 9862 electrical characteristics allow at least 110 CAN
ports on a network.

NI 9862 Hardware Overview
The NI 9862 has one full-featured CAN port that is isolated from
the other modules in the system. The port has a Bosch DCAN
CAN controller that is CAN 2.0B-compatible and fully supports
both 11-bit and 29-bit identifiers. The port also has an NXP
TJA1041AT High-Speed CAN transceiver that is fully
compatible with the ISO 11898 standard and supports baud rates
up to 1 Mbps.
