CAN Bus Utilization#
CTR Electronics goes through great efforts to make our products efficient on CAN Bus bandwidth. This article highlights the average default bandwidth utilization of supported Phoenix 6 devices. Users should keep total CAN Bus utilization below 90% to prevent any unexpected behavior. Information on changing the default CAN update frequency is available in the API documentation.
Note
Using Phoenix API will automatically start up a diagnostics server which adds a constant 0-5% total CAN Bus utilization.
