CAN Bus communication
Greetings to all:
I started this thread to gather information/experiences with CAN Bus communication. It seems to be a future technology that extends from vehicles to even large buildings.
I see at my workplace, the use of CAN Bus in our fire systems as well as our HVAC central controls. It is very flexible as well as precise in coordinating multiple units to allow them to operate as a whole. Even among units from different manufacturers.
I also gather that it has been building and growing for several years and finally emerging as THE common choice for inter-unit-communications.
My AC50/Curtis controller came with a nice wiring diagram. It lists a CAN Bus interface point. Has anyone used it to communicate with it?
The newer OBD2 vehicle scanners utilize CAN Bus in their software. Would one of these read a Curtis controller?
The interface plugs with attached wires exist for sale to facilitate this.
I was just wondering what the controller could do over this link?
