Cutting CanBUS

Thread Starter

The idea is that a PLC operates usually autonomous (without conections). If I want to change parameters, I "switch" on the conection (with a switch), perform the changes and switch the conection off. I am looking for a physical broken bus, not a software solution. (If this is not the right place to ask such a question: sorry!)

<P>>Is it possible to "switch" on and off a CanBUS?</P>

<P>You can not switch on/off the bus, whatever you mean with this.
But you can connect/disconnect devices, without interferring others working on the bus, also with a switch.
Only remember basic network rules for a line of twisted pair cables.</P>

<P>in this case you can disconnect node x without disturbing the CAN network</P>
