23.3.8 Serial Data
23.3.8.1 RS-232
5 Channels of RS-232 I/O data.
23.3.8.2 CAN Bus
This data bus conforms to the BOSCH standard for Controller Area Network 2.0-B. This bus complies
with ISO 11898. CAN BUS TERMINATION should be connected to CAN BUS LO for the GDU that is
located at the end of the bus (farthest from the GSU 73), see Section 2.3.1.3.3
for details.
23.3.9 Lighting
The GDU 4XX display and keys can be configured to track 28 VDC or 14 VDC lighting busses using these
inputs. These inputs are reference voltage inputs (not power inputs) with a high impedance of
~100 kΩ for pin 43 and ~200 kΩ for pin 26. This backlight level reference signal may be supplied with
something as simple as a 10K potentiometer connected to power and ground (drawing 1 mA @ 14 VDC).
The center tap on this potentiometer is connected to one of the pins (43 or 26) in the following table. For
providing this reference signal to more than one device, a commercially available regulated backlight
voltage reference is recommended.
