MilCAN uses a software layer on top of a conventional CAN network (CAN-A / CAN-B) which we support on P6/CB1/CB3 modules.

MilCAN-A frame format is based on SAE J1939(PA/CB2) and uses 29-bit extended identifier format, defined in ISO 11898. Using a protocol type bit (bit #25), both J1939 and MilCAN can share the same bus. The software would be implemented by the user in Application Layer. Since MilCAN is used on top of CAN networks without the need for hardware additions or alterations, it can be easily integrated into existing systems to add deterministic and scheduled operation.
