  • Page 16: Canopen Communications

    The Acuity adheres to the industry standard CANopen communication pro- tocol and thus will easily connect into many CAN systems, including those using the Curtis AC and Vehicle System controllers (1234/36/38, 1298, 1310, and enGage VII). Any CANopen-compatible master can be programmed to control the Acuity.
