make up the control panel. These components use information received from the VFC-3000
controller to operate the display.
CAN Distribution Board
The CAN distribution board receives high-speed serial data from the VFC-3000 controller
through a fiber-optic or Cat-5 cable. It then distributes the signal to the appropriate modules
and sensors. The CAN distribution board receives diagnostic data from the modules,
temperature sensors, light sensors, LVDBs, and CAN I/O board and transmits the data to the
VFC-3000 controller.
The distribution board uses a protocol that routes signal to each horizontal line of the
display. With this protocol, signal failure to one module in a horizontal line does not affect
other LED modules in that line.
