Re: Intermittent connection on field only

Oliver,
From what I understand, the resistors are an integral part of CAN signaling in addition to terminating the bus. With an intermittent resistor, CAN devices cannot signal when they want to transmit data to the bus.
Has anyone used a CAN splitter to any advantage?
