Controller Area Network (CAN)
Advanced electrical system training
Course length varies based on unit
Altec Controller Area Network (CAN) training is part of unit-specific training for units with features that use the advanced electrical system communication. Advanced control and diagnostic capabilities are afforded by systems that use CAN. Altec uses CAN across many different models. Some units are equipped with simple protection systems on otherwise completely-hydraulic units. Other aerial and derrick units have complete control systems using CAN communication to manipulate the position of the unit.
Course Topics
- Fundamentals of CAN communication
- How unit-specific components use CAN
- Troubleshooting system errors
- Hands-on troubleshooting practice and
- diagnostics on the unit.
