Termination Resistor Functionality

The TSXCANKCDF180T includes a termination resistor for CANopen bus networks. This resistor prevents signal reflections at the end of the communication line. As a result, network performance and reliability improve significantly. You must place termination resistors at both physical ends of the CANopen segment. Therefore, the TSXCANKCDF180T is ideal for end-node connections in your CANopen architecture.

Physical Design and Connection Features

The TSXCANKCDF180T features a female SUB-D 9-pin connector. The straight orientation allows direct connection to compatible CANopen devices. Furthermore, the IP20 rating provides protection against solid objects larger than 12 mm. However, this connector is not suitable for wet or dusty environments without additional enclosure protection. The TSXCANKCDF180T weighs only 0.049 kg, making it lightweight and easy to handle during installation.

Packaging and Logistics Information

Packing unit type: PCE (Piece)
Pieces per kg: 1
Packing dimensions: 9.000 cm x 2.000 cm x 11.000 cm
Packing weight: 45.000 g (0.045 kg)
Packing unit type code: S04
Packing unit quantity (small pack): 300 pieces
Large pack dimensions: 30.000 cm x 40.000 cm x 60.000 cm
Large pack weight: 14.374 kg

The TSXCANKCDF180T is sold as an individual piece. However, bulk ordering is available with larger packing quantities. The small pack contains 300 connectors per S04 unit. Consequently, you can easily stock these connectors for large-scale CANopen installations. The individual packing weight is 45 grams, which is slightly lighter than the product itself due to packaging materials.

Installation Guidelines

1. First, identify the two physical ends of your CANopen network segment.
2. Then, locate the CANopen device that will serve as the end node.
3. Next, insert the TSXCANKCDF180T into the device's SUB-D 9-pin port.
4. Ensure the connector is fully seated and secured with locking screws.
5. The built-in termination resistor will activate automatically when connected.
6. Do not install the TSXCANKCDF180T on middle nodes of the network.
7. For the opposite network end, install a second termination connector.
8. Verify network communication after both ends are properly terminated.
9. Keep the TSXCANKCDF180T away from moisture and conductive dust.
10. Use within IP20-rated cabinets or enclosures for best protection.

Common FAQ

1. Does the TSXCANKCDF180T include a termination resistor?
Yes, the TSXCANKCDF180T has a built-in termination resistor. This makes it ideal for end-node connections on CANopen bus networks.

2. What is the IP rating of the TSXCANKCDF180T?
The TSXCANKCDF180T has an IP20 rating. Therefore, it protects against solid objects larger than 12 mm but not against water.

3. Is the TSXCANKCDF180T a male or female connector?
The TSXCANKCDF180T has a female terminal block with 9 straight pins. Consequently, it mates with standard male SUB-D connectors on CANopen devices.

4. Where should I place the TSXCANKCDF180T on my network?
You must place the TSXCANKCDF180T only at the physical ends of your CANopen segment. Middle nodes should not have termination resistors.

5. What is the weight of the TSXCANKCDF180T connector?
The product weight is 0.049 kg (49 grams). The individual packing weight is 45 grams for the TSXCANKCDF180T packaging.
