Communication
DECS-250
One CAN (controller area network) interface (CAN 1) facilitates communication between the DECS-250
and optional modules such as the contact expansion module (CEM-2020) and analog expansion module
(AEM-2020).
A second CAN interface (CAN 2) enables the DECS-250 to provide generator and system parameters to
a generator controller such as the Basler DGC-2020. CAN 2 also permits DECS-250 setpoint and mode
control from an external device connected to the CAN.
Both CAN bus interfaces utilize the SAE J1939 messaging protocol.
DECS-250 CAN parameters are listed and defined in the
CAN Communication
chapter of this manual.
Connections
DECS-250 CAN connections should be made with twisted-pair, shielded cable. Each CAN port
(designated CAN 1 and CAN 2) has a CAN high (H) terminal, a CAN low (L) terminal, and a CAN drain
(SH) terminal. CAN port terminals are illustrated in the
Terminals and Connectors
chapter of this manual.
Port Configuration
Each DECS-250 CAN port must be identified by a unique address number
A
. The baud rate
B
of each port
can be configured for 125 kbps or 250 kbps. Port configuration settings are illustrated in Figure 140.

Optional, external modules, such as the contact expansion module (CEM-2020) and analog expansion
module (AEM-2020), communicate via the DECS-250 CAN 1 interface and are configured through the
DECS-250 BESTCOMS
Plus
interface. These settings are illustrated in Figure 141.
Contact Expansion Module
When enabled
A
for operation, the CEM-2020 CAN address
B
is assigned a unique number and the number
of outputs
C
is selected. Standard module (CEM-2020) provides 24 output contacts and high-current
module (CEM-2020H) provides 18 output contacts.
Analog Expansion Module
When enabled
D
for operation, the AEM-2020 CAN address
E
is assigned a unique address for
communication on the network.
