CANchecked MCE18 - Multifunction Can Bus Extension

The MCE18, or "Multifunction Can Bus Extension," is a versatile module designed to enhance your automotive applications. It provides additional inputs for various sensors, making it an essential tool for those who require more than the standard four analog inputs offered by displays like MFD15, MFD28, MFD32, and MFD32S.

With the MCE18, you can connect your sensors and transmit data to your desired device using the flexible Can Bus protocol, whether it be one of the compatible displays or another device. This module also expands the input capabilities of programmable control units, allowing for direct data transmission to meet specific control requirements.

Key features of the MCE18 include:

• 9 analog inputs with a range of 0-5 volts for capturing a wide array of sensor information.
• 8 digital inputs for monitoring the status of switches, buttons, or other on/off devices.
• 3 digital outputs (new in Version 2!) that can carry up to 500 mA and switch to ground (LOW SIDE).

The MCE18 is compatible with various devices, including CANchecked MFD28, MFD32, MFD32S, MaxxECU, Ecumaster, LinkECU, Haltech (emulating an IO Extender A+B or only B), and will soon support Syvecs and Motec.

Included in the MCE18 package:

• The MCE18 module with housing
• A 34-pin Superseal connector for reliable connections
• Superseal 1.0 20AWG pins for stable wiring
• 3 jumpers for customizable configuration (Can Bus termination, 2x 1K pull-up for NTC sensors)

The three digital outputs that switch to ground (LOW SIDE) and can carry up to 500 mA are particularly noteworthy.

For those seeking a reliable method to expand analog and digital inputs while communicating via Can Bus, the MCE18 is an optimal solution.
