About CAN Inputs and Outputs
CAN inputs and outputs are station resources that are created using the Station Builder application. Signal
types include station signals and digital inputs and outputs.
Before you can use CAN inputs and outputs, you must assign them to a CAN message. This can be done
using the Station Manager CAN Bus Editor tool.
Once assigned to a message, the CAN input or output appears in the message window as a field. The field
settings define how the input or output information can be extracted from the message.
