CAN Bus Addressing
The CAN bus address, also known as the Frame ID, is a unique address which defines the role of each control
surface module within the system. For
crystal
, the following options are supported:
·
Address 01 to 06
(hexadecimal) are assigned to Fader Modules.
·
Address 0F & 0E
(hexadecimal) are assigned to the two Central Modules.
Frame -> Surface: CAN Bus Addresses (hexadecimal)
Each address must be unique, so do not assign the same address to more than one module. If you do so,
this can lead to control conflicts and odd behaviour of the surface.
Single-frame Consoles
By default, each control surface frame ships with the following CAN bus addresses: the first Fader Module on
the left = hex address 01; the next Fader Module = hex address 02; and so on; the Central Module = hex
address 10. Thus, for a single-frame console there is usually no further action required, as the modules will
map correctly to the configuration.
Split-frame Consoles
For a split-frame surface, you will need to adjust the CAN bus addresses on the extender module(s) so that they
match the configuration supplied with the system.
