Danfoss RedCAN
« on: October 10, 2025, 06:36:18 AM »
Hello.
I'm wondering if anyone has any information on Danfoss's RedCAN.
I can't really find anything on the internet about it, apart from it being a standard someone implemented in the DP6xx displayes?

Hello,

Danfoss "Redundant CAN" is an old solution that is obsolete and we no longer support it.  I guess you have seen it in some APIs for some units, DP6xx maybe?
My knowledge regarding this is that I have heard about it.

I found this document on danfoss.com, https://assets.danfoss.com/documents/65648/AQ152886481376en-000302.pdf 

Again, this document is just "historical" and nothing we promote.


Have a nice day.

Tor, thanks for that.
It's a bit important when you're dealing with none-servicable hardware that costs thousands of € to replace and are sort of, cowboying reverse engineering it to keep the machines alive. This is in a 14 year old snow groomer. My 35 year old landcruiser still has support for parts from Toyota. This is just not building a trust in Danfoss for me at all. Sorry for being so blunt, but at work we have a 40 year old crane, we can still order parts for it. Danfoss seems to obsolete most things within 10 years. This just isn't acceptable, especially, finding documentation on this crap.
