Description  
Product specification  
power supply:  
MeCAN™ is a compact, encapsulated interface module that  
translates resistive sender, fault switch and speed signals into  
SAE J1939 CANbus data. MeCAN allows quick and simple  
integration of ‘mechanical’, non-ECU engines into modern  
CANbus systems. Applications include the retrofit of older  
engine fleets with digital instruments, controls and telemetry,  
and the development of standard control panels for both ECU  
and non-ECU engines.

MeCAN has four inputs. Two inputs are for oil pressure and  
coolant temperature sensing, either by fault switches or resistive  
senders. One input is for engine speed sensing, using a  
magnetic pickup or charge alternator. Input signals are  
translated into SAE J1939 CANbus messages with appropriate  
PGN address, data scaling and transmission rate.

120 Ohm terminating resistor fitted.  
A fourth input is for the connection of a speed calibration  
potentiometer during setup mode only. DIP switches allow  
selection of normal/setup mode and two speed input ranges.  
An LED gives indication of operating mode and CANbus  
activity.

MeCAN is compact and light enough for inclusion in many  
wiring harnesses, but can also be surface mounted via four  
fixing holes. The case is fully sealed in epoxy resin for high  
impact and environmental resistance.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE  
Operation  
Maintenance and Warranty  
MeCAN contains no user-serviceable parts. Maintenance is  
therefore limited to the following preventative checks:  
MeCAN begins transmitting J1939 CANbus data immediately  
after power-up. Data can be viewed using a J1939 compatible  
display, e.g. the Murphy PV101, or used as part of a J1939  
control system, e.g. Murphy CANstart or CASCADE modules.  
Check that MeCAN electrical connections are secure.  
Check that the case is mounted securely, with vibration  
and environmental exposure minimised where possible.  
The case may be wiped with a clean, damp cloth. Do not  
use cleaning solvents.  
Engine oil pressure and coolant temperature  
Model 79.70.0014 transmits pressure and temperature data  
when the sender input is within normal resistance range.  
MeCAN also transmits appropriate SPN (Suspect Parameter  
Number) and FMI (Fault Mode Indicator) codes if:  
MeCAN is supplied with a two year warranty on parts and  
workmanship. In the event of a fault or technical query,  
and before returning equipment, please contact your  
Murphy representative for technical support.  
input resistance is out of normal sender range, e.g. open-  
or short-circuit  
oil pressure drops below 20 psi (warning message) and  
10 psi (shutdown/derate message)  
coolant temperature rises above 90°C/194°F (warning  
message) or 110°C/230°F (shutdown message)  
Model 79.70.0020 transmits pressure and temperature data in  
accordance with the switch position:  
Input switch  
closed (to –DC)  
0 psi &  
SPN/FMI code  
105°C / 221°F &  
SPN/FMI code  
Input switch  
open  
100 psi  
oil pressure data  
coolant temp data  
90°C / 194°F  
Oil pressure fault codes are not transmitted until 10 seconds  
after engine starting (once speed has risen above 800 RPM).  
Engine speed data  
RPM data is transmitted whenever a speed signal is present  
(above the minimum 10VAC peak). If engine speed exceeds  
3500 RPM, MeCAN also transmits the appropriate overspeed  
fault SPN and FMI codes.  
Battery voltage  
MeCAN measures its DC power supply voltage and transmits  
this as J1939 ‘electrical potential’ data (PGN 65271).  
Hours run  
MeCAN transmits ‘engine hours run’ data (PGN 65253).  
The hours run value is stored in non-volatile flash memory  
and increases only while engine speed is above 500 RPM.  
To prolong flash memory life, hours run data is updated at  
3 minute intervals.
