CANM8 alternative
CANNECT IDR8 alternative: CAN KONTROL MULTI 8
Special vehicle builds seldom stop at one switched output. An ambulance, a conversion or a workshop vehicle can want eight, each triggered by something different.
Two buses, eight jobs
MULTI 8 reads two independent CAN networks, so a signal on a secondary bus is as reachable as one on the main bus. Each output is assigned on its own.
What replaces the IDR8
The IDR8 lines up with CAN KONTROL MULTI 8 on our cross-reference page. Because function is unassigned, the useful first step is a short list from you: which events, which outputs. We build the configuration from that.
