5.5. Communications
The communication interface may differ according to the user’s hardware. The Gold Panther can
communicate using the following options:
Standard EtherCAT
G-PAN XXX / YYY S XX G-PAN XXX / YYY E XX

USB 2.0 USB 2.0
Table 18: Gold Panther Communication Options
For ease of setup and diagnostics of CAN communication, and CAN can be used simultaneously.
Note: When the EtherCAT is connected, and FoE in operation, the USB cable connection must
be disconnected.
5.5.1. CAN Communication (J2)
In order to benefit from CAN communication, the user must have an understanding of the basic
programming and timing issues of a CAN network.
To connect the CAN communication cable:
6. Connect the shield to the ground of the host (PC). Usually, this connection is soldered internally
inside the connector at the PC end. You can use the drain wire to facilitate connection.
7. Ensure that the shield of the cable is connected to the shield of the connector used for
communications. The drain wire can be used to facilitate the connection.
8. Make sure to have a 120-Ohm resistor termination at each of the two ends of the network
cable.
9. The Gold Panther’s CAN port is non-isolated.
