Setting up egrCAN (Software)
1
There are 3 steps to setting up the egrCAN software:
1.
Configuring the modules using ECM’s Configuration Software
1
2.
Producing a .dbc file for the host data acquisition system
3.
Processing data in host data acquisition system (i.e. calculating %EGR)
Configuring the Modules
Modules are configured using a CAN adapter and the supplied configuration software
(“Configuration Tool”). The software runs on a PC and requires one of the following CAN
adapters:
1.
Kvaser USB-to-CAN adapter
2.
ETAS USB-to-CAN adapter
3.
VectorCAN CAN PCMCIA adapter card.
Although available from ECM, a CAN adapter is not normally supplied with egrCAN.
Before using the Configuration Tool, the CAN adapter software and Configuration Tool
software should be installed on the PC, all modules should be hooded up to the bus (with
proper termination), the bus should be powered, and the CAN adapter should be connected to
the bus and the PC. Double click on the ECM icon and the window shown in Figure 3 will
appear.
Click on the “Modules” tab, then the “START” button. Within seconds, the modules on the
bus will be identified. If they are not, there is a possibility that two or more modules share
the same node id. To resolve this, hook one module up at a time to check/change its node id.
This is performed by opening the “Task” menu and clicking on “Change Node ID”.
Once the Configuration Tool has found all the modules, select the module and configure it by
opening the Task bar (see Figure 4). See Table 1 for the recommended task settings. See
Table 2 for the list of available tasks. Don’t click on the EIB or Stand-Alone buttons. The
modules need to be left in Stand-Alone mode.
At the bottom of the configuration screen, the parameters to be transmitted by the module are
selected. Parameters are selected in pairs; called TPDOs. Click the TPDO to activate its
transmission and select the two parameters assigned to that parameter. See Table 1 for the
recommended TPDOs. Tables 3 and 4 show the lists of available parameters. “O2” must be
selected from each module to enable the calculation of %EGR.

Alternatively, the egrCAN can be operated by direct CAN messaging to and from a user-
program. For information on how to do this, refer to the LambdaCAN Module Instruction
Manual (on CD).
