10 WHAT IS CAN?
CAN is a communication link, similar to the previous types, but is designed to pass information very quickly and securely between a generator and the controller. The system passes all the information on oil pressure, engine temperature, fuel consumption, engine speed and much more. The offshoot of this is that a controller using CAN only requires a twowire connection to the engine. If you compare that to the picture earlier in this publication (see below) the advantages of reduced wiring can be seen. The controller can even start and stop the engine with the CAN link by just telling the engine to start and stop. This is similar to the control your computer has over your printer telling it to print and stop printing remotely.
