Synchronisation
of several
sensors on one
CAN
Selection menu to set the behaviour of several sensors on one CAN bus .
To synchronise several devices, one device is set as "Exposure Master" . The Exposure Master sends sync
messages to further devices .
Further devices are set as "Exposure slave 2 (time shifted)" or "Exposure slave 1 (simultaneous)" The devices
receive the sync messages of the Exposure Master and synchronise themselves correspondingly .
►
Set further devices as "Exposure slave 1 (simultaneous)" if the fields of view of the devices do not overlap .
►
Set further devices as "Exposure slave 2 (time shifted)" if the fields of view of the devices do not overlap .
It is possible to synchronise several units on one CAN bus if the following points apply:
●
The CAN protocol "J1939" is set .
●
The frame rate is set to 25 Hz or 33 Hz .
●
The Exposure Master has source address "239" .
To ensure that the synchronisation is as error-free as possible, it is recommended to set up a separate CAN
bus for the devices .
