CAN bus System & Operation Trainer w/ Stand Trainer
The CAN Bus System & Operation Trainer w/ Stand includes five educational ECUs with fault insertion capability, allowing students to build and connect actual network nodes. This trainer demonstrates common multiplexing circuit controls via a high-speed CAN bus network with an integrated OBD socket for scan tool diagnostic
The CAN Bus System & Operation Trainer provides comprehensive instruction in Controller Area Network (CAN) communication, the backbone of modern vehicle electronics. Students build complete CAN bus networks by connecting five educational ECUs, learning how multiple control modules share information over a two-wire communication system. The trainer demonstrates common multiplexing circuit controls where multiple functions are managed through network communication rather than dedicated wiring, teaching students the fundamental difference between traditional hardwired systems and modern networked architecture. With integrated fault insertion capability, instructors can introduce communication errors, node failures, and network faults that students must diagnose using scan tools connected to the OBD socket. This hands-on approach helps students understand network topology, termination resistors, message protocols, and diagnostic procedures for CAN bus systems. The included power supply and durable stand provide a complete, self-contained training platform. As vehicles increasingly rely on CAN bus communication for everything from engine management to body control, this trainer prepares students for the network diagnostic challenges they’ll face in today’s automotive careers.
