Paul M Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Was wondering if I can connect the CAN outlet of my Link ecu to Motec C125 dash display using the 'CAN ECU to display loom' seen below http://www.motec.com.au/c125raceloggingkit/c125raceloggingkitaccessories/ Cable looks different to the CAN link use? If I can't use that cable can you recommend a cable? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Kriedeman Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Hi Paul, Yes you will be able to use the MoTeC loom, however you will need to buy a LINK SERIAL/CAN CABLE. This cable plugs into the CAN port on your G4, PINS 3 and 4 are your CAN HI and CAN LO wires. PIN 3 CAN HI = WHITE PIN 4 CAN LO = GREEN. The MoTeC loom will have a 2 pin deautsch connector (mini) and the wire colours will be the same CAN HI White and CAN LO Green. Just check the dash manual, because if the dash is at the end of your CAN BUS you will need to put a 1/4 watt 120 ohm terminating resistor across CAN HI an CAN LO at the dash, the earlier dashes never had a resistor and it is up to you to fit one. If the dash is paralleled on the CAN BUS and another CAN device is at the end of the CAN BUS the dash will not require the resistor. You will be able to find the cable and accessories here on the LINK site under ACCESSORIES CAN COMMUNICATION or something like that. Regards Dave.

Dave Kriedeman Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Hi I forgot to mention, The cable you are looking at with the RJ45 socket is the dash programming cable, they use Ethernet communications for programming via your laptop and downloading log files, very fast.
