Introduction
The I-7531 is an isolated CAN repeater that can be used to establish a physical coupling of two segments of a CAN bus system. This module is designed to isolate the noise and disturbance between the two CAN ports of the I-7531. When the CAN signal is decayed because of the rough bus cable or noise, the I-7531 can recover the shape of the CAN signals to the original ones. Tree topologies can be implemented as well as long drop lines using the I-7531. In order to use the I-7531 easily, the module can automatically adjust the baud rate by itself to match the CAN network. Users just connect the I-7531 with the CAN buses, check the terminal resistor and power it on, subsequently the I-7531 enable to work normally. For detail information , please refer to the user manual of I-7531.

The relationship between ideal total bus length and baud are displayed below.

Note:When users apply one I-7531into a CAN network, the ideal CAN communication distance will be reduced 40 meters. For example, if the CAN network is under 500K bps baud rate and one I-7531 is applied in the network, the ideal total bus length becomes 100-40*1=60 meters. If using two I-7531 in this network, the communication distance is 100-40*2=20 meters.
After deciding the number of I-7531 and calculating the corresponding ideal bus length, users can use the following table to know the maximum node number in each segment and the maximum segment length when using different type of wire.
Note:The definition of segment and the relationship between segment length (Lseg1, Lseg2 …) and ideal total bus length (Ltotal) are shown in the following figure.
