Can or more fully, Controlled Area Network, is a serial network, or bus, that has its origins in the automotive industry. Now the truck chassis manufacturers are adopting the technology within their current ranges.
WHY HAVE SCARAB OPTED FOR THIS ?
Simplicity is the keynote here, by using just two wires and micro-controller based modules (the control nodes) it is possible to eliminate most of the complex wiring looms necessary to control sweeper functions. The bus connects to the nodes which are located adjacent to the various valve blocks, pumps or motors as necessary, requiring only short cable runs to the components in question. The benefits to sweeper design and operation are unquestionable and it will be no suprise to those who understand good design, that Scarab have fully embraced CANbus, incorporating it into our latest models.
- Simplified chassis wiring - this saves time in manufacture and minimises circuit errors such as short or open circuits.
- Lower servicing down-time - fault identification and correction is considerably enhanced by the systems data-logging facility.
- Improved diagnostic / self diagnostic abilities allied to real-time display of system information in the cab.
- A more compact, less intrusive console with improved ergonomics.
- Greater User feedback enhanced with the Colour Screen
- Flexibility - reprogramming the system for a specific requirement is far simpler than creating a new loom.
- Reliability is of an extremely high order, far exceeding that of conventional systems.
- Even more driveability in Hydrostatic mode
