VCI CAN input (vehicle CAN interface)
The VBOX3i can log up to 16 user defined CAN bus signals on CAN port B. Configuration is performed using the VCI
modules tab under log channels in VBOXTools software setup window. CAN signal parameters can be entered
manually by the user or imported directly from a CAN database (.DBC) file if available.
Racelogic supplies a free encrypted vehicle CAN database, giving the user the ability to log basic CAN data from a large
number of current vehicles from a broad selection of manufacturers. All of the CAN database files for vehicles we have
reverse engineered can be downloaded from
CAN termination
The VBOX3i contains an active termination
between 0 Ohms and 120 Ohms, the active
terminations are selectable via VBOXTools as
shown above right.
NOTE: When the Usage of the CAN ports is swapped
from one output socket to the other the termination
resistor setting does not follow. So you should check
that the Termination is correctly set for the output
socket that you are then using.
CAN pass through
Ability to output channel data from modules on
the secondary bus with user defined identifiers.
Eg; VBOX3i can log IMU data on one CAN bus and
output the IMU data to third-party equipment on
second CAN bus with a user defined identifier.
The VBOX3i can output up to 6 CAN messages and
12 CAN channels over the secondary bus.
Note: These output CAN channels will be in a 32
bit IEEE float format. 29 bit extended identifiers
optional.
