For CANopen based tiller heads (or similar), see the Figure 7 wiring example. In this CAN-based
example, the Interlock, Emergency Reverse, and a Travel Limit are the remaining “wired” switch
inputs. e CAN communication between the tiller and controller is always on CAN1.
Figure 7a illustrates the isolated CANbus option.
