[[CAN Gateway Pinout]]

# Power Supply

IOcan is designed for permanent installation in automotive electrical systems and supports continuous connection to battery power.

## Supply Voltage

| Parameter	| Value |

|--|--|

|Operating voltage	| 9–16 V |

|Recommended nominal voltage	| 12 V automotive system |

The device should be powered directly from the vehicle battery through a fused supply.

Recommended fuse for vehicle installations: 30 A.

## Quiescent Current

IOcan is optimized for low standby power consumption.

| Mode	| Typical Current |

|--|--|

| Standby (KL30 only)	| < 0.5 mA |

| Active operation	| depends on connected loads |

The low standby current allows the device to remain permanently connected to battery power without significantly draining the vehicle battery.

# Transmission Power Output (KL30B)

IOcan includes an integrated semiconductor power switch used to power the transmission.

| Parameter	| Value |

|--|--|

| Output type	| Semiconductor relay |

| Maximum current	| 15 A |

| Controlled by	| IOcan power management logic |

This output allows IOcan to manage transmission power sequencing without external relays.

# Analog Input Measurement

IOcan analog inputs use resistor dividers to allow measurement of automotive voltage ranges while protecting the internal ADC.

Two divider configurations are used.

## 0–12 V Analog Inputs (AN1–AN7)

These inputs are designed for direct connection to typical automotive signals.

### Electrical characteristics:

Signal conditioning and scaling are configurable in software.

# Sensor Power Supply

IOcan provides a dedicated sensor supply for analog and frequency inputs.

## SENSOR5V

| Parameter	| Value |

|--|--|

| Output voltage	| 5 V |

| Maximum output current | 0.5A |

| Intended use	| powering external sensors |

# sGND

Ground reference for sensors connected to analog or frequency inputs.

Using the dedicated sensor ground improves measurement accuracy and reduces noise.

# Digital Outputs

Digital outputs share hardware with selected analog input pins.

| Parameter	| Value |

|--|--|

| Maximum current	| 0.9 A per output |

| Output type	| low-side driver |

##Typical applications:

* relay control

* indicator outputs

* actuator control

Outputs are fully configurable in the IOcan configuration tool.

# CAN Interfaces

IOcan provides four independent CAN interfaces.

| Parameter	| Value |

|--|--|

| Number of interfaces	| 4 |

| Protocol	| CAN-FD |

| Compatibility	| CAN 2.0B |

Each CAN interface consists of a differential pair:

* CANxH

* CANxL

Termination can be enabled or disabled depending on network topology.

# Environmental Considerations

IOcan is designed for automotive environments.

Proper wiring and grounding practices are required to ensure reliable operation.

Recommended practices include:

* twisted pair wiring for CAN networks

* short CAN stubs

* proper termination at both ends of the bus

* properly crimped terminals

* soldering of the wires is not recommended

* Please remember that this device controls part of powertrain. Please take great care when wiring the device and the transmission.
