Page 11: System Overview
2.0 SySTEM OVErVIEW 2.1 System Description The Optimus 360 Joystick Control System builds on the base Optimus Electronic Power Steering (EPS) system. It uses the same helm, PCM, power steering pumps, service valves and smart steering cylinders. It also operates using the same CANbus networks (CAN1, CAN2, and the optional CAN3).
Page 13: Installation Overview
The installation of the Optimus 360 system falls into two parts, component installation and system calibration, purging and setup. If you are new to installing an Optimus 360 system it can be helpful tip: to think of the process as adding a joystick to an installed Optimus EPS system.

Refer to the Optimus EPS Installation Manual (Book 50) for CAN1 harness selection and connections. In addition to this, the Optimus 360 system requires a 6-pin CAN1 harness connection between the steering helm and the joystick. Refer to book 50 for proper harness selection and strain relieving.
Page 17: Can2 Harness Connections
3.5 CAN2 Harness Connections The Optimus 360 system uses the same CAN2 network, cables and structure as the basic Optimus EPS system. The Optimus 360 system adds a joystick and control head (if applicable) to the CAN2 network. Figure 3-2 shows a sample CAN2 network diagram. The exact connections will vary depending on the engine manufacturer;...
