Setup and calibration of LambdaCAN* kits is performed using the supplied PC software
program called “The Configuration Tool”. The Configuration Tool uses a CAN
communication device to communicate with one or more ECM *CAN modules (ex.
LambdaCAN*, NOxCAN*, baroCAN, appsCAN) or analyzers (ex. NOx 5210, Lambda
5220, EGR 5230). While the tool is being used with modules, just ECM modules set to
stand-alone mode (see Appendix B) should be connected to the CAN bus. While the tool is
being used with analyzers, just analyzers should be connected to the CAN bus. With
analyzers, the Configuration Tool is just used to produce .dbc files. However with modules,
the Configuration Tool replaces the analyzer’s display head as the user interface so it must do
much more. This document focuses on using the Configuration Tool with ECM’s
LambdaCAN* modules.
The Configuration Tool supports four CAN communication devices: Kvaser, ETAS, Peak
USB-to-CAN adapters, and the VectorCAN CAN adapter card. Driver software for one of
these adapters must be installed prior to using the Configuration Tool. This software will be
supplied with the adapter or be available on-line. ECM’s Configuration Tool is delivered on
a CD and the latest version is on www.ecm-co.com.
Once the adapter’s driver and the Configuration Tool software are installed, and with the
module(s) powered and connected to the CAN adapter, start the Configuration Tool software.
Click on the “Modules” tab, select the CAN adapter, and click on the “START” button.
The software will identify the modules on the bus and display them in the “Module” field. If
this does not happen, make sure that the CAN bus is properly terminated (i.e. resistors).
Open the Module field to see all the modules on the bus. If a module is not listed, one reason
could be that its Node ID is the same as another module. To resolve this, remove all modules
except the “missing” one from the CAN bus, STOP then START the software, and change
that module’s Node ID. Another reason that a module is not listed could be that the module
is in EIB mode instead of stand-alone mode. All modules must be in stand-alone mode.
To configure one of the modules (ex. change its Node ID) or to look at that module’s data,
you have to select that module in the “Module” field.
There are three things you can do with modules using the Configuration Tool:
1. Configure a module. This includes calibrating a sensor attached to the module.
2. Look at data coming from that module in real-time and optionally log it.
3. Produce a .dbc file to be used by a device receiving module data.
Alternatively, 1. and 2. (above) can be performed by direct CAN communication with the
LambdaCAN* module using user-written software. For information on how to do this and
for detailed information about the modules, refer to the LambdaCANp, LambdaCANd, or
LambdaCAN Instruction Manual (these manuals are not the same as this “LambdaCAN*
Instruction Manual”).
