Description
CAN-bus Profile
VE.Can
Defines the type & baudrate of the CAN-bus network. To use in combination
with NMEA2000, make sure to choose one of the profiles that include
VE.Can and is at 250kbit/s
NMEA2000-out
Off
Enables and disabled the NMEA2000-out function
Unique identity number selector
1
Selects the block of numbers to use for the NAME Unique Identity Numbers
in the PGN 60928 NAME field. For the GX Device itself, and when
NMEA2000-out is enabled, also for the virtual-devices. Change it only when
installing multiple GX Devices in the same VE.Can network. There are no
other reasons to change this number. For more details regarding the Unique
identity number, read the last section in this chapter.
Check unique numbers
Searches for other devices that use the same unique number. When the
search is completed it will respond with either an OK, or the text :
There is another device connected with this unique number, please select
another one.
Note that there is normally no reason to use this function: the GX Device
automatically and continuously checks uniqueness of the numbers in use,
and will warn when in case there is a conflict. This setting is made available
to quickly confirm that everything is OK after changing the setting.
11.4. NMEA2000 Configuring device instances
The Devices submenu gives access to a list showing all detected Devices on the VE.Can / NMEA-2000 network:
Each entry first shows the name - either the product name as in our database, or when configured, the custom name as
configured during installation.
Then, between the square brackets, the Unique Identity Number is shown.
On the right, you can see the VE.Can Device Instance which is the same as the NMEA-2000 Device Instance.
Press enter to Edit that Device Instance. Or, press the right-key to go one step deeper in the menu structure, to a page that
shows all generic data available for that device:
