Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN)

The MS-CAN operates at a maximum data transfer speed of 125 Kbps and is designed for general information transfer. Modules on the MS-CAN communicate using bussed messages. The MS-CAN uses an unshielded twisted pair cable, data bus (+) and data bus (-) circuits. In addition to scan tool communication, the MS-CAN allows sharing of information between all modules on the network.

The GWM is used as a gateway for the messages to transfer between the scan tool and the modules on the MS-CAN.

The GWM translates the diagnostic messages from the HS-CAN2 to the MS-CAN and vice versa, allowing communication between the modules on the MS-CAN and the scan tool.
