4.5 Selectable CAN Networks
The 7th and 8th of the FIRE 2’s CAN channels are user-selectable: they can be set as
additional High Speed (dual wire) CAN channels (HS CAN6 and HS CAN7), as Low Speed
Fault Tolerant CAN channels (LSFT CAN and LSFT CAN 2), or as Single Wire CAN channels
(SW CAN and SW CAN 2). Both channels must be set to the same mode (so you cannot have
HS CAN6 and SW CAN at the same time, for example). The selectable CAN channel group in
neoVI Explorer can be seen in Figure 66.

Selectable CAN Mode
The master control for these channels can be found by clicking on
Selectable CAN
. On
the right hand side you will find a drop-down box; choose
DWCAN
,
LSFTCAN
or
SWCAN
depending on which CAN variant you want for these two channels (Figure 67). SWCAN is the
default.
Figure 67: neoVI Explorer Selectable CAN Mode Control.
Based on your selection, neoVI Explorer will automatically enable the corresponding two
channels in this group and disable the other four. You can manually override the enabled
channels if, for example, you only want one of the two. You cannot, however, override the
disabled channels, as they are physically disconnected within the device when your selection
is made. (If you listen closely after changing the selection here and clicking
Write Settings
, you
may even hear a relay click as the change is made in the hardware.)
