Introductions to CAN-BOARD modules
CAN-BOARDs are programmable modules capable of detecting various electrical or physical signals (or electrical signals from sensors), processing them, and transmitting them over the CAN bus. For example, you can use the CAN-BOARD-LoadCell to detect the signal from a load cell (force sensing) and send the data over the CAN bus of a data logger or automotive system. You can also use the CAN-BOARD-GPS to detect geographic coordinates and ground speed via GNSS and send them over the CAN bus.
CAN-BOARDs can be programmed using the GUBELLINI DataSuite software (via a USB-C connection) to define the CAN ID, CAN baud rate, sampling frequency, and other parameters. All CAN-BOARDs share a common set of configuration parameters and some parameters specific to the specific model. Once programmed, each time the CAN-BOARD is turned on, it will detect the input signals (derived from a sensor or module) and transmit them over the CAN bus according to the programming specifications.
CAN-BOARDs are designed for use in various fields (such as laboratory analysis and monitoring, machinery monitoring, precision agriculture, industrial monitoring, process analysis, automotive, motorsport, etc.). Each CAN-BOARD is also easily usable with our GUBELOG and MICROLOG dataloggers thanks to the datalogging capability via CAN bus.
Where it finds application
Engineered for multiple uses
Thanks to its flexible CAN protocols and rugged IP67 design, the GUBENAV is highly adaptable to a wide range of demanding professional sectors:
Motorsport & Vehicle Dynamics: Capture high-speed trajectory, lean angles, and acceleration data for advanced track analysis and vehicle development.
Precision Agriculture: Perfectly suited for tractor guidance systems, implement tracking, and autonomous farming equipment using the NMEA2000 standard.
Industrial & Heavy Machinery: Monitor the precise movement, speed, and orientation of automated guided vehicles (AGVs), excavators, and industrial robotics in harsh environments.
Laboratory & R&D: Ideal for any testing environment requiring synchronized, high-frequency spatial tracking alongside other analog/digital sensor arrays.
The CAN-BOARDs come with the free GUBELLINI DataStudio suite, the software that enables full management of the device. By connecting the device via USB, you can access the setup screen. As shown in the reference image, the “Sensor configuration ” panel allows you to set all the parameters to fit CAN-BOARDsto your needs.
Configuration of device
CAN ID: CAN-BOARDs divide the data transmission up to 4 distinct CAN identifiers (e.g. 100, 101, 102, 103 in HEX format). These fields allow you to customize the ID on which the CAN packets are transmitted (so as to avoid conflicts with other control units already present on your CAN network).
CAN ID format: Select the identifier format between 11 bits (Standard) or 29 bits (Extended), depending on the requirements of your logger (e.g. GUBELOG-03 or third – party devices ).
Baud rate: Select the communication speed of the CAN network (e.g., 1Mbps for high-density networks). Make sure all devices on the bus share the same speed.
Transmission frequency: Sets the CAN packet update rate (e.g. 50Hz, or up to the maximum value of 100Hz depending on the load allowed by the bus).
Vehicle type : Define the vehicle type (e.g. Car) to optimize the internal “ sensor fusion” filters based on the expected dynamics (car, motorbike, boat).
Read/Write Buttons: Use the lower right buttons to read the current configuration from the device or write the new configuration to the CAN-BOARDs permanent memory.
Housing
The MICROLOG housing is made from PA12+35%GF nylon, a high-quality material with excellent mechanical properties that can withstand shocks and vibrations. It is ideal for use in harsh environments.

Configuration software
The CAN-BOARDS can be programmed via the free GUBELLINI DataSuite software (via a USB-C connection).
Power
The CAN-BOARDS can be powered by a direct voltage from 7 to 24V. The main connector includes +12V, CAN-H, CAN-L and GND pin.
Connection
You can connect to the CAN-BOARD via a USB-C connector located on the back of the container and protected by a rubber gasket. Via the USB connection you can: send and receive configuration data.
Main Connector: (Automotive Grade)
To ensure maximum reliability in signal transmission and maintain the IPX7 waterproof certification, the physical interfacing of the CAN bus occurs via a 4-pin AMP Super Seal 1.5 series connector (code 282106-1).
