WARNING
Description
MeCAN™ is a compact, encapsulated interface module that
translates resistive sender, fault switch and speed signals into
SAE J1939 CANbus data. MeCAN allows quick and simple
integration of ‘mechanical’, non-ECU engines into modern
CANbus systems. Applications include the retrofit of older
engine fleets with digital instruments, controls and telemetry,
and the development of standard control panels for both ECU
and non-ECU engines.
MeCAN has four inputs. Two inputs are for oil pressure and
coolant temperature sensing, either by fault switches or resistive
senders. One input is for engine speed sensing, using a
magnetic pickup or charge alternator. Input signals are
translated into SAE J1939 CANbus messages with appropriate
PGN address, data scaling and transmission rate.
A fourth input is for the connection of a speed calibration
potentiometer during setup mode only. DIP switches allow
selection of normal/setup mode and two speed input ranges.
An LED gives indication of operating mode and CANbus
activity.
Two standard versions allow use with a speed input and
either fault switches or Murphy ES series resistive senders:

model/description
79.70.0014 MEC300-1 MeCAN I/O module, for use with
Murphy ES pressure & temperature senders
79.70.0020 MEC300-2 MeCAN I/O module, for use with
pressure & temperature switches (closing to
negative DC on fault)
Custom solutions are also available for non-standard, volume
OEM requirements.
MeCAN is compact and light enough for inclusion in many
wiring harnesses, but can also be surface mounted via four
fixing holes. The case is fully sealed in epoxy resin for high
impact and environmental resistance.
