WARNING

 

As part of the MurphyLink® family, CANdrive offers a cost 
effective instrument solution for modern electronic engines. 
CANdrive modules read engine ECU CANbus/J1939 data, 
drive standard electric panel gauges, and provide LED 
indication of status and faults. 

CANdrive has three dedicated outputs for tachometer, oil 
pressure and coolant temperature gauges, with DIP switch-
selectable compatibility for Murphy, VDO or Datcon gauges. 
For volume orders, the outputs can be custom-configured for 
other gauge types, lamps, relays or remote signalling. 

CANdrive advantages include: 

x

 

the retrofitting of existing electric gauge panels to new, 
J1939 compatible engines 

x

 

the use of standard, economical electric gauges with  
new J1939 engines 

x

 

no need for installation of additional gauge senders, 
tachometer magnetic pickups and wiring. 

CANdrive is packaged in a compact, surface mounted 
case with epoxy encapsulation for maximum durability 
and environmental sealing. Electrical connection is via a 
12-way automotive type connector. Model CDV100F has 
a forward facing connector and one power/CAN status 
LED. Model CDV300R has 8 LEDs for indication of 
J1939-transmitted engine faults and status. All models 
include a 6-way DIP switch for flexible configuration.
