DATA PARAMETERS
CAN Signals	The module communicates temperatures and fault statuses (for a full list, see the Docs or DBC file)
	Thermocouple temperatures: The degree celsius (degC) temperature of each thermocouple probe [5 Hz]
	Ambient temperature: The ambient temperature measured via internal cold-junction [5 Hz]
	Faults: Status of each thermocouple sensor [5 Hz]
CAN BUS
Channels	1 x CAN channel
Modes	The device can either broadcast the data onto the CAN bus - or provide it on-request
Standard	ISO 11898: Compliant with CAN (between 5K and 1 Mbit/s baud rates)
Identifiers	Compliant with CAN specifications 2.0A (11-Bit ID) and 2.0B (29-Bit ID)
Termination	Termination can be toggled via switch below DB9 connector
Retransmission	Retransmission of frames that have lost arbitration or been disturbed by errors
Transceiver Protection	Protection: +/- 25kV HBM ESD, +/-12kV IEC ESD, +/-14 V bus fault, short circuit
	Common mode input voltage: +/-12V
	TXD dominant timeout (prevents network blocking in the event of a failure)
CONFIGURATION
Bit Rate	Select between standard bit rates (5K to 1M) or use custom bit-timing
Enable/Disable	Individually enable/disable the CAN message
Identifier Customization	Individually configure the CAN ID (11-bit or 29-bit)
Push/Poll Mode	Individually configure 'trigger' modes for the CAN messages (push or poll)
Frequency	Individually configure prescaling of the CAN message frequencies to lower rates
Thermocouple Type	Specify the thermocouple type for each channel (e.g. Type K, Type J, ...)
Line Noise Filtering	Select rejection of 50 Hz (EU) and its harmonics or 60 Hz (USA) and its harmonics
ELECTRICAL
Input Supply	+5V to +26V DC via the DB9 connector (power via pin 1 or pin 9)
Power Consumption	Extremely low (<1W) - no risk of battery drainage

Mounting	Module can be mounted via e.g. rugged double-sided tape, zip-ties or a mounting bracket

CANmod.temp: 4 x Thermocouple-to-CAN Temperature Sensor (excl.probes)

This thermocouple-to-CAN module produces temperature data from 4 thermocouple sensors and outputs it via CAN bus. The module is 100% standalone - no PC required.

The module supports all thermocouple types (B, E, J, K, N, R, S, T) and can be daisy-chained for 8, 12, 16, ... channels.

You can integrate the module with any CAN bus system - e.g. to provide temperature data for your ECUs or existing CAN hardware.

As an example, you can use the module as an add-on for the CANedge - ideal for e.g. engine dynos, EGT analysis, HVAC monitoring and other temperature telematics use cases.
