PCAN-Dongle (ISO) – User Manual
First Test
After turning on the PC the red LED at the PCAN-Dongle must be
permanently on. This indicates that the power supply for the PCAN-
Dongle is correct.
Attention! Don't remove PCAN-Dongle from the PC while
powered on (red LED on PCAN-Dongle is lit). Electronic parts of
the PCAN-Dongle or the PC's parallel interface may be harmed.
2.2 Connecting a HS-CAN
A CAN is connected to the 9-pin Sub-D port on the PCAN-Dongle.
The pin assignment corresponds to the CiA recommendation DS
102-1.

2.3 5-Volt Supply at the CAN Connector
A 5-Volt supply can optionally be routed to pin 1 and/or pin 9 of the
CAN connector (PCAN-Dongle ISO: pin 1 only) by setting solder
bridges on the PCAN-Dongle PCB (Dongle case opened). Thus
devices with low power consumption (external transceivers or
optocouplers, for example) can be directly supplied via the CAN
connector.
