The CAN-bus makes it possible to use different data transmission rates, in which the boud rate is indirectly proportional to the length of the bus. If the network is only slightly extended, higher baud rates up to 500 kbit/s are possible. In case of larger extensions, the baud rate has to be lowered (to a min. transmission rate of 10 kbit/s). The following table explains the relationship between baud rate and length of the bus or extension of the network. In principle, bus lengths over 1000 meters should only be realized with repeaters.
