3.9 COMMUNICATION PORT USAGE
3.9.1 CAN INTERFACE
Modules are fitted with the CAN interface as standard and are capable of receiving
engine data from engine CAN controllers compliant with the CAN standard.
CAN enabled engine controllers monitor the engine’s operating parameters such as
engine speed, oil pressure, engine temperature (among others) in order to closely
monitor and control the engine. The industry standard communications interface
(CAN) transports data gathered by the engine controller interface. This allows generator controllers such as the
DSE8600 series to access these engine parameters with no physical connection to the sensor device.
NOTE:- For further details for connections to CAN enabled engines and the functions available with
each engine type, refer to the manual Electronic Engines and DSE Wiring. Part No. 057-004
