Hello!

Recently I got a FTX009 modem with CAN bus card (EC0030), unfortunately I’m having a hard time making those two work together. I couldn’t find any manual that gets me  
through it so far. Even more, I couldn’t even find this CAN bus expansion card in the market, only the Ethernet model.  
Does anyone know how to acess/communicate with expansion cards with AT commands?

Best regards,

---

Hi arthurwozniak,

As I know, your FTX009 is not supported CAN bus expansion card. There are 3 supported Expansion cards:

- FXTE01 : IO+GPS Expansion Card
- FXTE02 : ETHERNET Expansion Card
- EC0020 : RS485 + Isolated Digital Input

Furthermore, FTX009 is end of life product. For my suggestion, depending on your purpose, you should switch to new model FX30 or GL series for better experience.

Some topics about CAN bus with fx30 series you can refer:

> I’m developing a project on FX30s. I’m pretty new to this and would like to know how to enable the CAN bux IoT card. I found a few instructions on how to enable it with MangOH Red, but still couldn’t find anything for the FX30. Thank you very much!

> Hello, I have FX30 GENERIC,3G which sends data to IoT platform (simulated data). Now I would like to connect with CAN bus and collect real data from other devices in CAN network. With the IoT CAN card, it looks like I can connect to CAN network. However this IoT CAN device is not supported in the standard firmware of FX30. I need to rebuild the firmware to include the support. I have downloaded the latest source: [http://downloads.sierrawireless.com/airlink/FX30/FX30\_WP8548\_full\_R14.0.4.002.t…](http://downloads.sierrawireless.com/airlink/FX30/FX30_WP8548_full_R14.0.4.002.tar.gz)

Thanks,
