CAN Networking and
CAN Data Menu
A Controller Area Network, or CAN, is a high-integrity serial data communications bus that operates at a data
rate of 250 kilobits per second for real-time control applications and uses special CAN cables and terminators
for operation. The CAN protocol has excellent error detection and confinement capabilities, making it very
suitable and reliable for agricultural applications.
CAN systems allow products to be added to a control system at any time. Up to five product control nodes may
be connected to the SCS control system for any combination of liquid, granular, chemical injection, or spinner
control applications.
The diagrams in this chapter show different hardware configurations for use with the SCS product control
system. Some diagrams show optional features which may not apply to each system. These features and
components are not required for CAN operation and optional features and cables may be ignored during a
basic installation.
NOTICE
Be sure to read all safety instructions and follow
all installation procedures to ensure proper
installation of the CANbus system.
