8. 사용 설명서

A visual representation of the RS485 and CAN functions on the board, highlighting the SP3485 RS485 transceiver, MCP2515 CAN controller, and SIT65HVD230DR CAN transceiver, and noting automatic TX/RX status switching.

8.1 RS485 통신

• The RS485 function operates via the UART interface of the Jetson Nano.
• It supports half-duplex communication.
• The onboard SP3485 transceiver features automatic TX/RX control, eliminating the need for software-based direction control.
• Refer to the Jetson Nano documentation for configuring the UART pins for communication.

8.2 CAN 통신

• The CAN function is managed by the MCP2515 controller, which communicates with the Jetson Nano via the SPI interface.
• The SIT65HVD230DR acts as the CAN transceiver.
• Ensure the SPI interface on your Jetson Nano is enabled and configured correctly.
• Software libraries and examples for CAN communication on Jetson Nano are typically available from Waveshare's official resources.

8.3 120R Resistor Selection

The board includes jumpers for enabling or disabling the 120Ω termination resistors for both RS485 and CAN buses. Set these jumpers according to your network topology:

• 에: Enables the 120Ω termination resistor. Typically used at the ends of a bus line.
• OFF : Disables the 120Ω termination resistor. Used for intermediate nodes on a bus line.

9. 유지관리

The Waveshare RS485 CAN Expansion Board is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal performance and longevity:

• 깨끗하게 유지하십시오: 먼지와 이물질을 제거하기 위해 부드럽고 마른 브러시나 압축 공기를 사용하여 정기적으로 보드를 청소하십시오. 액체나 독한 화학 약품은 사용하지 마십시오.
• 환경 조건: Operate the board within its specified temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid extreme conditions.
• 보안 연결: Periodically check all connections (GPIO header, terminal blocks) to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
• 펌웨어 업데이트: Keep your Jetson Nano's operating system and any relevant communication libraries updated to benefit from performance improvements and bug fixes.

10. 문제 해결

If you encounter issues with your RS485 CAN Expansion Board, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• 전원 없음/표시등 꺼짐:
  • Ensure the Jetson Nano is powered on correctly.
  • Verify the expansion board is securely seated on the Jetson Nano's GPIO header.
• 통신 오류(RS485/CAN):
  • Check wiring connections to external devices for correct polarity and secure contact.
  • Verify the 120Ω termination resistor jumpers are set correctly for your network configuration.
  • For RS485, confirm UART settings (baud rate, parity, stop bits) match between the Jetson Nano and the connected device.
  • For CAN, ensure the SPI interface is enabled and configured on the Jetson Nano, and that CAN bus parameters (baud rate) are consistent.
  • Check for conflicts with other devices or software using the same UART or SPI pins.
• 간헐적인 연결:
  • 연결 부위가 헐거워졌거나 케이블이 손상되었는지 점검하십시오.
  • Ensure proper grounding of all connected devices.
  • Environmental interference might be a factor; ensure proper shielding if necessary.
• 소프트웨어 문제:
  • Consult Waveshare's official documentation and examples for software setup and usage.
  • Ensure necessary drivers or libraries are installed and correctly configured on your Jetson Nano.
