Connecting a 2nd device via CAN

Scroll Prev Top Next More

A 2nd SICOLOG is connected via CAN to a SICOLOG. To acquire the 16-bit signals from the 2nd SICOLOG by the 1st SICOLOG following steps are recommended:

1.Open the TEMES file for the 2nd SICOLOG

2.Define the input signals of the 2nd SICOLOG

3.Choose from the main menu File Export

4.Select the TEMES CAN folder

5.Select as data type CAN Descriptions (*.can)

6.Enter a name in file name and press the Save button

7.Select path \Devices\<device>\CAN, \Devices\<device>\CAN1 or \Devices\<device>\CAN2

8.Select the just created library and add all available signals as outputs

9.Expand the CAN tree, select each CAN output signal and select the corresponding source (a 1:1 assignment is automatically chosen)

10.Optionally, select path \Devices\<device> and choose the tab General. Then, enter the correct CAN refreshing rate into the input field Calc. Cycle.

11.Save the TEMES parameter set (File Save/Save as)

12.Open the TEMES file for the 1st SICOLOG

13.Select path \Devices\<device>\CAN, \Devices\<device>\CAN1 or \Devices\<device>\CAN2

14.Select the just created library and add all available signals as inputs

15.Save the TEMES parameter set (File Save/Save as)

 

After the signal assignment of the 2nd SICOLOG is changed (= signal recalibration) then additional steps are required:

16.Choose from the main menu File Export

17.Select the TEMES CAN folder

18.Select as data type CAN Descriptions (*.can)

19.Enter the name of the CAN Description in file name and press the Save button

20.Select path \Devices\<device>\CAN, \Devices\<device>\CAN1 or \Devices\<device>\CAN2

21.Press the Library Refresh button

22.Save the TEMES parameter set (File Save/Save as)

23.Open the TEMES file for the 1st SICOLOG

24.Select path \Devices\<device>\CAN, \Devices\<device>\CAN1 or \Devices\<device>\CAN2

25.Press the Library Refresh button

26.Save the TEMES parameter set (File Save/Save as)

 

The steps 16-26 can be avoided if a more general CAN library is created which maps its minimal physical value to bit value 0 and maximal physical value to bit value 65535. However, this approach does not use the entire 16-bit bit space of the signal.
