CANchecked MCE18 - Multifunction Can Bus Extension

MCE18, the ultimate CAN bus extension! But what exactly is the MCE18 and what do you need it for?

The MCE18, which stands for "Multifunction CAN Bus Extension," is a versatile module that can be indispensable in a variety of applications. Our range of displays, including the MFD15, MFD28, MFD32, and MFD32S, comes standard with four analog inputs. This is sufficient for most cases, but there are situations where you may need more inputs to meet your requirements.

In such cases, the MCE18 offers the perfect solution. You can simply connect your sensors to this module and transmit the data via the flexible CAN bus protocol to your desired device, be it one of our displays or another compatible device.

But it's not just displays that benefit from our MCE18. Freely programmable control units often have a limited number of inputs. With our module, you can easily expand these inputs and send the data directly to the control unit to meet your control requirements.

Here are the key features of the MCE18:

• 9 analog inputs in the range 0-5 volts to capture a wide range of sensor information.
• 8 digital inputs to monitor the status of switches, buttons, or other on/off devices.
• 3 digital outputs (new in version 2!) that can handle up to 500 mA and can be switched to ground (LOW SIDE).

The products are thoroughly tested and compatible with various devices, including CANchecked MFD28, MFD32, MFD32S, MaxxECU, Ecumaster, LinkECU, Haltech (emulates an IO Extender A+B or only B), and soon they will also be compatible with Syvecs and Motec.

The MCE18 package includes:

• The MCE18 module with housing
• A 34-pin Superseal connector (TE 4-1437290-0) for a reliable connection
• Superseal 1.0 20AWG pins (TE 3-1447221-4) for stable cabling
• 3 jumpers to adapt the configuration to your needs (CAN bus termination, 2x 1K pull-up for NTC sensors)
• A particularly noteworthy feature of the MCE18 are the three digital outputs, which switch LOW SIDE to ground and can carry up to 500 mA.

So, if you're looking for a flexible and reliable way to expand your analog and digital inputs and communicate via CAN bus, the MCE18 is the perfect solution. Order today and optimize your electronic systems!
