CANbus Transceiver Power

The CANpCI-CO takes it transceiver power from the host computer, but

an onboard DC-DC converter provides 1500 volts of galvanic isolation.
The CANpCI-DN obtains its transceiver power from the CANbus, but

an onboard circuit is provided to regulate that voltage to a constant 5 V.

DeviceNet Reverse Voltage Protection

The CANPCI-DN is protected from excessive voltage if the DeviceNet

power connections are accidentally reversed. However, this protection

results in the CANPCI-DN ground being about 700 mV above the

CANbus ground.
