Disconnected Terminating Resistors, Cable Disconnection, Disconnected Connector, and Disconnected Signal Wire

1. Ensure that two terminating resistors are connected to both ends of the network.

2. Turn OFF the communications power supply.

3. Measure resistance between CAN_H and CAN_L wires of the absent slave using the tester.
   Measure resistance between signal wires with tester.
   

   Symbol	Description
   a	Tester

   Resistance	Determination
   0 Ω	Short circuit
   Under 50 Ω	Three or more terminating resistors on one network
   100 to 120 Ω	Normal
   Over 120 Ω	Error (cable disconnection, disconnected signal wire, one or zero terminating resistor)

4. How to find the trouble point:

   • Remove the terminating resistor on one end of the network.
     (The resistance at the point where the terminating resistor is connected is 120 Ω.)
   • Measure resistance at branch taps of all units.
   • The trouble point is where resistance changes from 120 Ω.
   • After finding the trouble point, verify the connector and cable conditions.
