CAN Bus Input Message Settings

Each CAN input must be assigned to an input message that defines the message ID and various field settings.
To receive a message from a CAN device, the 793 input message ID must match the CAN bus device’s
output message ID and field settings.

Note:

When you use the Station Builder application to assign messages from a CANdb file to an input, most
message settings are not editable (although you can add static fields that are not associated with a
signal).
