The same applies to the use of accessories. General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions The ML71BS6 CAN bus module complies with the state of the art and is fail-safe. The device may give rise to further dangers if it is inappropriately installed and operated by untrained personnel.

MGCplus−ML71BS6 Introduction The ML71BS6 is an MGCplus system module that takes measurement data from the MGC and outputs it as CAN messages. It records up to 128 measured values per CAN port, scales them and outputs them at the CAN bus.
MGCplus−ML71BS6 Connections WARNING Before starting the device, read the safety instructions. 2.1 Pin assignment The CAN bus is connected to the AP71 connection board by a 9-pin Sub-D connector. You can connect two independent CAN field bus systems (female connectors CAN1 and CAN2). Both the CAN interfaces are used to output the MGCplus measurement data.
MGCplus−ML71BS6 Front panel The front panel LEDs have a dual function: In Level mode, the signal level at the analogue output is displayed. In Status mode, the LEDs are assigned as shown below: LED caption Colour Meaning in Status mode ML71 CHAN.
MGCplus−ML71BS6 Parameterization 4.1 Settings CAN1 /CAN2 The baud rate, the transmission formats, the number of signals and the output rate of the 1st CAN bus are set here. The same menu is applied correspondingly to the 2nd CAN bus. The maximum number of signals for a bus is 128 signals.

MGCplus−ML71BS6 CAN protocol Up to 128 measured values can be transmitted at each bus. A number of signals is assigned to each bus. This determines the signal transmission rate at the particular CAN port (in the case of CAN port 2, the operating mode of CAN port 1 is also a factor).
