CANdrive™

CANdrive is a simple, cost-effective instrument solution for ECU-based engines that transmit CANbus J1939 data.

CANdrive reads J1939 data, and provides 3 outputs for driving standard electric panel gauges – tachometer, oil pressure gauge and coolant temperature gauge. No extra engine-mounted senders. Reduced wiring. Simple and cost-effective.

CANdrive is typically used to drive Murphy EG(S)21 series electric gauges and ATA/ATHA tachometers, but can also be used with Datcon or VDO gauges. For volume orders, CANdrive™ can be custom-configured to drive other gauges, lamps or devices.

CANdrive uses an ultra-compact, encapsulated case for maximum protection and durability. Higher specification models feature LED indication of engine faults, with IP65 front facia sealing.

CANdrive applications and benefits include:

  • a cost-effective, standard technology panel solution for J1939 engines
  • no need to fit additional senders or magnetic pickups
  • easier retrofitting of new J1939 engines with existing panel designs
  • standardisation of panels, for customers using both old and new engine types
