I have a CAN switch board V3 connected to a VCU 7 via CAN 2. Everything is working great, switches, analogue inputs, everything is good.
What I am trying to configure in the ADU software is to activate the output channels on the CAN SB.
What I am trying to do is create a custom function to use CAN channel c_csb_switch3 to activate a LED light on c_csb_output2, using a flashing function.
I’m not sure if there is another additional step required to output the correct CAN signal to the switchboard (state 0 to 1)? So far I haven’t been able to find a help file that explains how this might work.
I have imported the CAN dbc file, there is no communication issues.
I’m just trying to work out how to get the ADU to switch output c_csb_output2 on the switchboard using the function feature.
Hi there, I am trying the same config. Using an V3 Switchboard over CAN2 Bus to the ADU 5. But beside creating the Switchboard in the ADU, I have no idea how to get the inputs and outputs into the ADU. I remember that the PMU and EMU integration of channels was quite easy. Is there a similar way?
Best regards Dave
Yeah, it’s not too hard. You need to configure the ADU to communicate over CAN 2. You need to set the correct CAN speed rate or both devices, and input the CAN .dbc file for the switchboard into the ADU, then it should work pretty straight forward. you will need to communicate (PC configuration) with the switchboard over CAN 2, (not CAN 1 like the ADU) so you may need to check the resistor depending on your CAN network setup.
Hey Lyndon,
thanks for your reply. I tried that but I had no idea how to export the switchboard inputs as a .dbc file. I was not able to reach the switchboard like the PMU or the ADU.
So my solution came with a Video:
So I created the messageobject Switchboard with 0x640 and set it to 8bit to see all channels, that solved my first issue, to see some live data.
Than I was able to figure out that the rotaryswitch changed the 3rd bit.
After that I created a new input from CAN and moved the offset to the 3rd bit.
But it would be much easier if there would be a file :-).
By the way, I was not able to see the switchboard via Light Client, as the board was installed at CAN2 and not CAN1 I guess.
Yes, if on CAN 2, you will need to put your DB9 connector direct on the CAN2 network, and you will be able to see with light client, with all live traffic. you can’t access as a pass through on CAN 1. You will need to do this to control everything correctly. VEry simple, just solder in another DB9.
No, really?!? I had no idea the files are there, many thanks
Good idea with the connector, I guess as there is a connection via CAN Bus I will import the file and everything will be nice
