The CAN Bus protocol is available for Plug & Sense! as a secondary communication module. This is an optional feature. The CAN Bus module is placed on socket 0 by default, being accessible through an additional and dedicated socket on the antenna side of the enclosure. On the other hand, the main radio interface of the Plug & Sense! device is placed on socket 1.

The user can choose between 2 probes to connect the CAN Bus protocol: A standard DB9 connector and a waterproof terminal block junction box. These options make the connections on industrial environments or outdoor applications easier.

The CAN Bus signals are wired on the female DB9 connector and on the Terminal box according to the next table:
