Module for the connection of the fpCAN to an external NMEA 2000® network.
Fischer Panda part number: 0031409
Product description
The »Communication Interface CI – NMEA 2000®« manages the communication between the »fpCAN« and an external NMEA 2000® network. The interface protects the internal »fpCAN« by filtering the data from the external NMEA 2000® network. The »fpCAN« and the NMEA 2000® network are galvanically isolated. The »fpControl CI NMEA 2000®« is powered by the »fpCAN«.

Application
Fischer Panda Generators equipped with xControl, iControl2 or fpControl.

NMEA 2000® network connection
Pin assignment of »USER CAN BUS«
NMEA 2000® network, 5-pin Phoenix Contact socket.
The electrical interface for the NMEA 2000® network (USER CAN BUS) is labelled directly on the printed circuit board:
| Pin | Line | Label |
| 1 | Power source common | NET_C |
| 2 | CAN High signal line | NET-H |
| 3 | CAN Low signal line | NET-L |
| 4 | Shield | SHIELD |
| 5 | Power source positive | NET-S |
Pin assignment of the 5-pin male NMEA 2000® connector (M12) that is part of the Adapter cable fpCAN/NMEA 2000®:
| Pin | Line | Color |
| 1 | Shield | — |
| 2 | NET-S | Power source positive | Red |
| 3 | NET-C | Power source common | Black |
| 4 | NET-H | CAN High signal line | White |
| 5 | NET-L | CAN Low signal line | Blue |

Pin assignment of »FP CAN BUS 2«
Alternative connection for the external NMEA 2000® network, RJ45 socket. The »FP CAN BUS 2« is parallel connected to the »USER CAN BUS«. It can be used to connect the NMEA 2000® network via RJ45 plug.
The external CAN Bus must be terminated. This can be achieved by a terminating resistor in the second RJ45 socket.
| Pin | Line |
| 1 | CAN-High |
| 2 | CAN-Low |
| 3 | GND |
| 4 | Wake up |
| 5 | Bus power |
| 6 | GND |
| 7 | GND |
| 8 | Bus power |
Rotary coding switch
The rotary coding switch is used to add an offset to the start address for the address claiming process.
Default setting: Rotary coding switch in position »0«. No offset is added to the start address.
Alternative Setting: Rotary coding switch in a position not equal to »0«: [start address] = [position of the rotary coding switch] * 16.
DIP switch
The DIP switch is reserved for future projects.
