Axia CANbus Specifications

Updated by Bryan Jones

SCOPE

CAN stands for Controller Area Network and is a robust standard initially designed for the automobile industry to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each others' applications without a host computer

This document describes the electrical pin outs of the CAN bus cable used in Axia PowerStation, Element, Fusion, and QOR lines of consoles.

CONNECTOR

The standard CAN Bus supplied with your device has the same connector on both ends. Although it looks different the larger end simply has a shield around it.

  • Pin 1 - 48v Gnd
  • Pin 2 - GND Chassis
  • Pin 3 - CAN (-)
  • Pin 4 - 48v
  • Pin 5 - CAN GND
  • Pin 6 - CAN (+)
