ACC3: The Compact Analogue CAN Converter
The Aim Analogue CAN Converter (ACC3) is a compact and powerful module designed to extend the data acquisition capabilities of your logger. Managing up to 4 channels at 200Hz each, the ACC3 allows you to capture and analyse additional sensor data with precision.
Why Choose the Aim ACC3
Fully compatible with the Aim Solo 2 DL, the analogue to CAN converter is an ideal solution for expanding your setup and unlocking more detailed performance insights.
Like all Aim devices, the Aim ACC3 is built for motorsport applications. Its compact design ensures easy installation across a range of racing vehicles, while its robust construction guarantees reliability in demanding environments. When combined with Race Studio 3 software, the ACC3 unlocks powerful configuration and analysis tools, including suspension analysis with Aim Eclipse sensors and video synchronisation with SmartyCam 3 cameras.
Sensor Compatibility
The ACC3 supports up to 4 analogue inputs with frequencies up to 200Hz, offering compatibility with a wide variety of sensors:
- Thermocouples (K-type, using dedicated compensated cables)
- Thermo Resistors
- 0–5V Sensors
- 0–12V Sensors
In addition, both the ACC3 and ACC3 Open feature 2 speed inputs (internal pull-up for open drain/collector input), enabling even greater flexibility for data acquisition.
Channel Configuration
Once the appropriate harness has been selected, the analogue to CAN converter allows you to configure channels according to the connected sensors. Up to 4 type K thermocouples can be managed simultaneously, giving you precise temperature monitoring across multiple areas of your engine or vehicle.
Suspension Analysis
The ACC3 is also designed to work with Aim Eclipse sensors. When paired with Aim linear potentiometers, data can be processed through the advanced suspension analysis tool in Race Studio 3 - providing a complete picture of chassis dynamics for deeper performance evaluation.

What is the Aim ACC3?
The Aim ACC3 is a compact and reliable module that is used to convert analogue sensor inputs into a CAN bus signal, allowing up to 4 analogue channels.
What is an Analogue CAN Converter used for?
An Analogue CAN Converter is a specialised device used to translate, or bridge, conventional analogue signals (such as voltage, current, or resistance from sensors) into digital CAN bus messages. It allows legacy, non-CAN sensors to communicate directly with modern, high-speed digital networks, such as those found in race cars.
What are the differences between the Aim ACC3 and the ACC3 Open?
Although the Aim ACC3 and the ACC3 Open are both analogue to CAN converters, their differences lie in their compatibility. The ACC3 Open offers broader compatibility with non-Aim systems, allows custom CAN protocol configuration via USB, and serves as a flexible, open-system logger interface, whereas the standard ACC3 is primarily designed as a direct plug and play expansion for Aim ecosystems.
Which products are compatible with the Aim ACC3?
The Aim ACC3 is compatible with a range of other Aim products, including data loggers, sensors and systems.
- Data/Dash Loggers: Solo 2 DL, MyChron Series, EVO4S/EVO5, and MX Series dashes.
- Sensors: K-type thermocouples, thermo resistors, 0-5V sensors and 0-12V sensors.
- Expansion Modules: SmartyCam cameras, LCU-One Lambda controllers and CAN expansion modules.
