*) The analogue RPM input also calculates %RPM based on actual RPM, and the same for analogue pitch where
%Pitch is calculated. (From the installation menu, an analogue pitch angle input can be scaled to %Pitch for
indication).
**) You can disable the TPDO input in VS02 to make it only listen on XDi-net (it will function with TPDO active).
***) An AX1 module is needed on the XDi 2 to get the RPM and pitch set point. If the RPM and pitch set point
presentation is not used, then VS02 must be used for the XDi 2.
13.5 Application 5 - XDi rudder system using CANopen and XDi-net
The system below is a CAN-based rudder indicator system using the DEIF Standard XDi Dual rudder library.
The indicators are presenting actual rudder angle and the commanded rudder angle.
(See DEIF standard XDi rudder libraries for indicator details).
13.5.1
System
overview
Select a different NodeID for each of the 3 XDi indicators, and make sure that it is not already used by another
CAN device on the bus.
The DX1 module has two inputs. Only one RPM pickup is needed to detect RPM without direction.
