Can.BitRate

The bit rate of the CANOpen network corresponding to the Can object. The CANOpen standard defines a set of bit rates that can be supported (see table below). Any CANOpen node must support at least one of these bit rates. All the nodes on the CAN network must be operating at the same bit rate. Any of these standard bit rates can be used with the XMP.

Due to the electrical characteristics of a CAN network, the maximum length of a CAN network (and the corresponding drop lengths) is dependent upon the bit rate that is chosen. See the table below.

Bit Rate	Max Bus Length (m)	Max Drop Length (m)	Max Cumulative Drop Length (m)
1M	25*	2	10
800k	50*	3	15
500k	100	6	30
250k	250	12	60
125k	500	24	120
50k	1000	60	300
20k	2500	150	750
10k	5000	300	1500
