IOCAN

# IOcan Hardware Specifications

This page describes the electrical interfaces and hardware capabilities of the IOcan CAN gateway. It provides a summary of communication interfaces, inputs, and outputs available on the device.

Detailed pin assignments are documented in:

[[CAN Gateway Pinout]]

# Communication Interfaces

IOcan provides multiple communication interfaces for configuration and vehicle integration.

## USB

* USB-C connector

* used for:

  * device configuration

  * firmware updates

  * diagnostics

  * datalogging

USB power can also power the device logic for configuration without vehicle power.

## CAN Interfaces

* 4 independent CAN-FD interfaces

* fully compatible with CAN 2.0B networks

Typical uses include:

* ECU communication

* transmission communication

* additional vehicle networks

* diagnostic networks

CAN termination can be enabled or disabled depending on network topology.

# Analog Inputs

IOcan provides multiple analog inputs that can be used to read vehicle signals or sensors.

Total inputs: 11

## 0–12 V Inputs

* 7 channels

* intended for direct connection to automotive signals such as:

* ignition signals

* switches

* sensor outputs

## 0–5 V Inputs

* 4 channels

* intended for sensors requiring tighter voltage ranges such as:

* pressure sensors

* throttle sensors

## Shared Functionality

Some analog inputs can also operate in other modes:

* digital input mode

* resistor ladder input for multiple buttons

* frequency input mode

See [[Configuration Concepts]] for input configuration.

# Frequency Inputs

IOcan supports 4 frequency inputs for pulse-based signals.

These inputs share hardware with selected analog inputs.

Typical applications include:

* engine speed signals

* wheel speed signals

* vehicle speed sensors

* other pulse-based signals

Signal processing is configurable in software.

# Digital Outputs

IOcan provides 5 digital outputs for controlling external devices.

Specifications:

* maximum current: 0.9 A per output

* outputs share hardware with selected analog inputs

Typical uses include:

* indicator outputs

* relay control

* actuator control

Output behavior is fully configurable.

# Transmission Control Outputs

IOcan includes dedicated outputs for transmission control.

# Wake-up Output

A dedicated output is provided for the transmission wake-up signal.

This output activates the transmission electronics during startup.

# Integrated Transmission Power Relay

IOcan includes an internal semiconductor relay used to power the transmission.

## Specifications:

* switching type: semiconductor relay

* maximum current: 15 A

* switched supply: KL30B

The relay allows IOcan to control transmission power sequencing without requiring external relays.

Power management logic ensures correct startup and shutdown behavior.
