The vessel CAN bus controls communications between devices.
There are two versions of vessel CAN bus interface: standard and smart.
Standard CAN bus interface
Standard CAN bus interface
This version interconnects the electronic devices and may have 4 or 6 generic Input/Output connectors. A vessel may have multiple CAN bus
interfaces depending on the number of devices on the CAN bus.
The CAN bus of each engine must have two 120 Ohm terminator resistors. These can be installed directly to a vessel CAN bus connector (usually
yellow) or integrated into the CAN bus line itself. Free connectors must be closed with caps to prevent damage and interference with the network.
Smart CAN bus interface
Smart CAN bus interface
This version is an evolution of the standard interface, and contains active electronics. It is composed of 10 dedicated connectors and is usually
installed close to the helm. There are 2 type of smart CAN bus interfaces:
• Yellow: installs only to the main helm on vessels with at least two helms
• Black: installs on vessels with only one or multiple helms
For installations with multiple helms, a dedicated socket (DISPLAY MULTI-IGNITION) can be connected to a standard CAN bus interface to
increase the umber of available connections.
The smart CAN interface is equipped with leds on each connector which report their communications status. Free connectors must be closed with
caps to prevent damage and interference with the network.
