A PPENDIX B: CAN MESSAGES
The WS500 Alternator Regulator contains a Control Area Network (CAN) subsystem. The purpose of this network is to allow communications of status, configuration, and coordination of charging in a systems view.
The WS500 Alternator Regulator utilizes a mixture of open source standards, and reverse engineered standards including:
OSEnergy – (https://github.com/OSEnergy/OSEnergy) Open Systems Energy initiative: Overriding specification defining communication hardware and protocols allowing for coordination of charging devices. J1939 – SAE standard providing basic coordination of nodes and communications of messages NMEA-2000 – Marina orientated status messages. Closed specification built upon J1939 which has been reverse engineered. RV-C -- (RV-C.com) True open source specification targeting primary Recreation Vehicle industry, but extended to include many needed communications to support the OSEnergy initiative. Others: A few selected 2.0A (11-bit addressing) messages are supported as documented in $CCN on page 55.
