CAN Bus Connector

The Controller Area Network bus (CAN bus) is a connector used to communicate between the Monarch Tractor and sensor-enabled implement systems.

As a single point of entry to connected systems, the CAN bus connector enables central diagnostics, data logging, and configuration.

WARNING: Be careful with the top pin of the three-point hitch when connecting implements. Do NOT push the hitch to the left to make room for implement connections; you can damage elements behind the hitch. Instead, release the top hitch, connect the implement, then re-secure the top hitch.

To connect an implement with the CAN bus:

  1. Attach the implement to the 3-point hitch.
  2. Unscrew the cover of the CAN bus connector.
  3. Check the CAN bus connector for dirt, debris, or fluid. The port must be dry and clean to properly and safely connect an implement.
  4. Check the CAN bus cable on the implement for dirt, debris, or fluid. Clean and/or dry the cable before connecting it to the CAN bus port.
  5. Connect the implement cable to the CAN bus port.
  6. Start the tractor

To disconnect a CAN bus implement:

  1. Stop the tractor, park it, and put it in Neutral.
  2. Move the top hitch out of the way if it obscures the CAN bus port.
  3. Disconnect the implement from the CAN bus port.
  4. Safely store the implement.
