LXNAV CAN2CAN

LXNAV CAN2CAN

Unlock full engine insights on your boat — the CAN2CAN gateway seamlessly translates your engine’s J1939 data into NMEA2000 format, letting you monitor key performance and alarms on any compatible display with ease.

Technical Information

The CAN2CAN is a dedicated engine data gateway designed to convert J1939 engine network data into the standardized NMEA2000 marine protocol for display and integration with your onboard electronics. This plug‑and‑play converter enables seamless communication between proprietary engine CAN systems and any chartplotter or instrument that supports NMEA2000, including LXNAV E‑series units.

Once connected, the CAN2CAN automatically translates a wide range of engine parameters — such as engine speed, oil and coolant temperatures, fuel rate, battery voltage, total hours, and other sensor data — into NMEA2000 messages, making them available across your marine network. The gateway also supports numerous engine warnings and alarm conditions, ensuring you have detailed performance and health information directly on your displays.

Built for marine environments, the unit features durable construction with galvanic isolation and is easy to install on the NMEA2000 backbone. With support for both standard CAN bus and J1939 protocols, this converter is an essential component for integrating engine electronics into modern marine instrumentation systems.
