Controller Area Network (CAN) technology connects electronic systems in modern vehicles, allowing various components, or ECUs, to communicate seamlessly. Initially used in luxury vehicles, CAN technology has since expanded to trucks, off-highway equipment, and passenger cars worldwide.
How CAN Bus Works
The CAN bus setup comprises two twisted wires, CAN high and CAN low, which reduces electromagnetic interference and minimizes errors in data transmission. This network simplifies communication between vehicle modules by consolidating the wiring into a single multiplex cable.
Key Advantages of CAN Protocol
Implementing CAN technology offers several benefits:
Speed and Efficiency: CAN high supports transmission rates up to 1 megabit per second.
Reduced Cost and Weight: Less wiring decreases labor, material costs, and vehicle weight, which can cut up to 50 pounds of copper, translating into material savings and fuel efficiency over time.
Error Detection: Each node monitors transmission errors, maintaining network efficiency.
Durability: CAN bus wiring resists interference and withstands extreme conditions, making it well-suited for tough environments.
Choosing the Right CAN Bus Cable
CAN bus cables come in shielded (J1939/11) or unshielded (J1939/15) varieties. For high-EMI environments, shielded cables provide enhanced signal protection.
Additional Cable Protection
To prevent system damage, CAN bus cables near sharp edges or in high-vibration areas can benefit from protective sleeving, which guards cables from wear while allowing access.
Connectors and Splitters
CAN bus cables require 120-ohm termination resistors at each end.. Modern connectors often have these resistors pre-installed, streamlining setup.
Streamlining CAN Bus Systems
A carefully selected combination of CAN interfaces, cables, and connectors ensures reliability, cost-effectiveness, and performance in vehicle systems. For manufacturers and upfitters, CAN bus technology offers efficient, durable, and integrated solutions for modern vehicles.

The Shift to Non-Venting Regulators: A Game-Changer for Oil and Gas Emissions Control
In the oil and gas industry, emissions control has become a top priority as regulations tighten standards for natural gas emissions. The choice between venting and non-venting regulators is now more critical than ever, with companies seeking sustainable solutions to meet environmental standards and improve operational efficiency. The Problem with Venting Regulators Venting regulators have long been industry staples, effectively managing pressure in production equipment like separators and compressors. However, their design releases small amounts of gas during each operation, contributing to harmful natural gas emissions. As environmental concerns grow, this once-overlooked issue has come under scrutiny. The Rise of Non-Venting Regulators Beaumont Manufacturing and Distribution (BMD) offers innovative solutions to address these challenges. Their non-venting regulators, including the RG10, RG20, and RG50 models, manage pressure without releasing gas into the atmosphere. Instead, these regulators redirect gas back into the system, providing several key benefits: Compliance with EPA regulations: Non-venting regulators help companies meet the requirements of Quad O and its successors. Reduced environmental impact: By preventing natural gas release, these regulators significantly lower emissions. Improved efficiency: Capturing gas that would otherwise be lost leads to better resource utilization. Retrofitting for the Future For companies with existing infrastructure, BMD offers conversion kits that transform venting regulators into non-venting models. This allows operators to modernize their systems without the need for complete overhauls, making the transition more cost-effective and manageable. Beyond Compliance: Sustainability and Efficiency Adopting non-venting regulators isn't just about meeting regulatory requirements. It's a strategic move towards sustainability and operational efficiency. By lowering emissions, reducing waste, and retaining more product for sale, companies can position themselves for long-term success in an evolving industry. The shift to non-venting regulators represents a significant step forward in emissions control for the oil and gas sector. As the industry continues to adapt to stricter environmental standards, these innovative solutions offer a path to compliance, sustainability, and improved operational performance.
