CANcockpit
Handle complex requirements with ease
The VDO brand is synonymous with customised solu-
tions that handle sophisticated technical tasks while
offering maximum ease of operation. VDO products are
deployed in a wide range of applications from construction vehicles, agricultural and forestry equipment
to stationary machines, sports cars and boats.
CANcockpit is the flexible system solution for process-
ing data from various analogue and digital sensors
via a central instrument connected to a CAN bus. It can
Engine
CAN bus 1 (e. g., SAE J1939)
CAN bus 2 (e. g., CAN Open)
be precision con figured to meet specific needs and is
simple to expand whenever required. In add i tion, this
modular instrumentation solution may be integrated
into existing VDO panel solu tions. Thanks to the
powerful WINgauge software it is exceptionally easy to
program. CANcockpit is also capable of processing
two CAN protocols (e. g., SAE J1939 and CAN open)
simultaneously.

Profit from these benefits
• Flexibility – Data from up to two CAN
buses running different protocols
(e. g., SAE J1939 and CAN open) can be
processed simultaneously.
• Safety – Easy DTC (diagnostic trouble
code) handling of the protocol defined
by J1939 through comprehensive functionality and setting options.
• Diagnostic support – Configuration
checking, plus online recording of
selected measurement values via recor der
function for download onto PC and
evaluation using standard tools.
• Compatibility – Analogue, frequency and
CAN inputs are available.
• Integration – CANcockpit can easily be
incorporated into existing VDO panel
solutions, with different bezels helping to
simplify fitting.
• Programmability – Specific limits can
be set and programmed so that an alarm
triggers when they are excee ded.
• Modularity – Simple cabling requirements
and straightforward subsequent expansion.
• Convenience – Automatic plausibility check
for the parameters entered and various
functional checks carried out by special
WINgauge software during input phase.
• Personalisation – Flexible LC-display
options allow icons to be defined
and corporate logos to be displayed.
• Readability – Display instruments
designed for maximum clarity.
