The sensor interface is connected to the MultiFlow via the external CAN
bus.
MFS and the MultiSeal system known SPD sensor interface MSSPD-
N2 differ only by the internal software.

9.13.1.1
Turn-on phase
The sensor interface is configured corresponding to the user
specifications directly after MultiFlow is turned on. In addition to the
configuration, the date and time of the sensor interface are compared
with those of the MultiFlow. The user is notified about the respective
connection status of the sensor module in the event section of the start
screen.
The sensor monitor is independent of the power supply. Changes at the
sensor inputs are recorded even when the measuring system is turned
off. The sensor interface checks the sensor statuses at configurable
intervals and records any changes detected in its internal logbook.
Immediately after switching on, the MultiFlow checks the sensor interface
for any saved events and analyses these accordingly.
After having processed any offline events, the current statuses of all
sensor inputs are detected and recorded in the logbook. This completes
the turn-on and configuration phase. The sensor interface is now
switched to normal operation (online mode).
