5.1.1 RS485 connector
There are two RS485 connectors on the board with the same pin assignment – pins directly connected to each other. The second connector
may be used for attaching a bus termination resistor to the RS485 bus (there is no termination resistor on-board) or for further distribution
of the RS485 bus signals to other RS485 communication nodes while maintaining a proper bus structure.
A three pin Molex MicroFit™ connector (Molex part no. 436500315) is used for RS485 connection. Mating connector housing e.g. Molex
43645-0300, contacts Molex 43030-0007. Please note that there are alternative options available from Molex for both, housing and
contacts.

5.1.2 CAN connector
There are two CAN connectors on the board with the same pin assignment – pins directly connected to each other. The second one may
be used for attaching a bus termination resistor to the RS485 bus (there is no termination resistor on-board) or for further distribution of
the CAN bus signals to other CAN nodes while maintaining a proper bus structure.
A standard RJ45 plug connector is used for CAN communication. Standard CAT cables (e.g. CAT 5, non-crossing) might be used for
connection. Pin assignment of the RJ45 is based on the CiA 303-1 recommendation.
