Note:
ALL devices have the same Base Address of ID 671, which is the factory setting for a
single device. To avoid Bus conflicts, the factory base address needs to be changed when
multiple devices are used, to ensure each device has its own unique ID. When re-
programming the Base Address for each device the IDs MUST be:
1)
Sequential in order.
2)
Have a gap of 2 numbers between each ELC device.
The Base Address ID can be any number but Emtron recommends the following:
•
ELC Device 1: ID Base Address 671. (CAN ID Range 671-672)
•
ELC Device 2: ID Base Address 722. (CAN ID Range 673-674)
•
ELC Device 3: ID Base Address 722. (CAN ID Range 675-676)
•
ELC Device 4: ID Base Address 722. (CAN ID Range 677-678)
•
ELC Device 5: ID Base Address 722. (CAN ID Range 679-680)
•
ELC Device 6: ID Base Address 722. (CAN ID Range 681-682)
7.22 ELC CAN Base Address ID Reprogramming
To ensure each ELC device has a unique ID from the example in Figure 7.3, ELC2 Device 2
(SN 1242) needs a new Base Address of 673.
This is easily done using Emtune from the Config view -> Communications Menu -> Emtron
CAN Devices -> Emtron CAN Device Programming menu
In this example, ELC Device 2 will need to have its Base Address re-programmed to 673. This
is easily done using Emtune from the Config view -> Communications Menu -> Emtron CAN
Devices -> Emtron CAN Device Programming menu. In this example select:
Device 2 ID Reprogramming
Enter in Serial Number = 1242
Enter in Custom Address = 673
Make sure the “Program
Address” checkbox is ticked.
Select the “Program” button and the new Custom Address ID will be programmed into the
device.
