CANbus network design
● 120 Ohms resistors must be placed at both
termination points of the CANbus chain link.
● CANbus transfer rate is proportional to total
chain-link length.
BMS
● 125 Kbps: Up to 500 m
● 250 kbps: Up to 250 m (default setting)
● 500 kbps: Up to 100 m
● Must be the same speed configuration for all
MPMs

ZigBee concepts
● ZigBee coordinator is a device that sets up the network, is aware of all
the nodes within its network. Every ZigBee network must contain a
network coordinator.
● ZigBee router can act as an intermediate router, passing on data from
other devices.
