MCB-CLICK-CAN – safe and non-intrusive access to CAN-Bus data

In modern vehicles, the CAN-Bus plays a crucial role in communication between electronic systems. As vehicles become more advanced, there is an increasing need to access this data – whether for fleet management, monitoring systems, or additional aftermarket solutions.

At the same time, both vehicle manufacturers and users expect any additional installations to be carried out without interfering with the factory wiring. This is exactly where the MCB-CLICK-CAN module comes in – an innovative solution that allows you to read CAN-Bus data without direct electrical connection.

Contactless Data Reading – Safety First

The key advantage of the MCB-CLICK-CAN is its ability to read CAN signals without physically tapping into the wiring. This means there is no interference with the vehicle’s electrical system and no risk of disrupting communication between onboard systems.

In practice, this brings several important benefits:

• no risk of damaging the CAN network,
• no communication disturbances,
• full safety for vehicle systems.

Importantly, the module operates in read-only mode, meaning it cannot send any data back to the CAN-Bus. This eliminates any possibility of affecting the vehicle’s operation and helps avoid potential warranty or compliance issues.

How does MCB-CLICK-CAN work?

The module captures and reproduces CAN-Bus signals, then outputs them as a standard CAN signal. This output can be connected to virtually any external device equipped with a CAN input, regardless of the manufacturer.

This approach ensures:

• full compatibility with third-party systems,
• easy integration,
• wide application flexibility.

The module supports a broad range of CAN speeds, including the J1939 (CAN-FMS) standard, making it suitable for both passenger vehicles and heavy-duty applications.

Protecting the vehicle’s electrical system

One of the biggest advantages of this solution is that it does not interfere with the vehicle’s wiring at all.

This means:

• no risk of damaging the CAN network,
• no impact on vehicle electronics,
• reduced risk of voiding manufacturer warranty,
• no formal issues related to modifying the installation.

The contactless technology also minimizes the risk of incorrect wiring, which is especially important when integrating third-party systems.

Easy installation and wide range of applications

Another major benefit of the MCB-CLICK-CAN is its simplicity. Installation does not require cutting wires or complex procedures – you simply locate the CAN-Bus and install the module as instructed.

Thanks to this, the module can be used in a wide range of applications, including:

• GPS / GSM / GPRS monitoring systems,
• passenger cars,
• trucks (CAN-FMS / J1939),
• construction and industrial machinery.

Its versatility makes it an ideal solution wherever safe and reliable access to vehicle data is required.

The MCB-CLICK-CAN is designed to operate reliably in demanding environments. It works in a wide temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable not only for standard vehicles but also for heavy-duty and industrial applications.

Low power consumption and a wide supply voltage range make it an energy-efficient and easy-to-integrate solution for various systems.
