6.1 Overview
All XL6/XL6M/XL6e OCS models provide a CAN networking port, which is implemented with a 5-pin
connector. The connector is labeled NET1.
Figure 6.1 – NET 1 Connector
Like the MJ1 serial port, the NET1 port can be used for XL6/XL6e OCS programming by connecting it to
the CAN port of a PC running Cscape. The NET1 port also allows the XL6/XL6e OCS to exchange global
data with other OCS/RCS controllers and to access remote Network I/O devices (SmartStix Modules).
6.2 Port
Description
The XL6/XL6e OCS NET1 port implements the ISO 11898-2 physical layer and the CAN 2.0A data link
layer standards. Also, since the NET1 port is powered by an internal isolated power supply, external
CAN power is not required.
