CAN Bus Nodes
The CAN Bus Nodes are control units connected to the power system’s CAN bus. They have a
rugged sealed-plastic design, with DIN-rail or Velcro tabs as standard mounting options.
When the CAN bus address is configured and the unit connected to the bus, it will automatically
communicate with the Smartpack controller (“plug and play”). Configure then the CAN node
functionality using PowerSuite.
Battery Monitor CAN Node
The Battery Monitor CAN Bus Node enables you to decentralize and increase the number of battery
symmetry measurements in your Smartpack based DC power supply system. Also, it monitors the
battery compartment temperature – using the built-in sensor – the battery fuse – with a fuse
monitoring input – and the battery current – via a current sense input.
