CANM8 alternative

CANNECT RPM alternative: CAN KONTROL RPM

Fit a rev counter or a PTO control to a modern engine and you quickly find there is no tacho wire left to pick up. The number is on the bus, and you need something that can read it.

Why the alternator trick is not enough

Older fixes took engine speed from the alternator or an injector line. They are fiddly and fail the moment the engine management changes. Reading the message directly avoids the whole argument.

What replaces it

CAN KONTROL RPM outputs engine speed for the equipment you specify, and the cross-reference table sets it beside the CANM8 RPM part. If the target device needs a particular signal shape, give us the device name and we check.

Questions about this swap

Does this work for PTO interlocks?
Engine speed is a common PTO input. If you need full body-builder interlocks, our PTO line is the one to read about.
Is a petrol engine different from a diesel?
The vehicle record decides the configuration. Send the make, model and year.
