CANbus reading

Configuration consist of two parts:
a) Configuring of CAN interface;
b) Including needed parameters into packet.

I. CAN interface configuration.

Firstly choose how CAN line should work (Hardware > CAN1 > CAN function ID):

Open

Recommended function is “CAN_base_b on IN7”. In will enable XG CAN Data base on engine (IN7) On and disable CAN when engine is Off to save car’s battery.

Then set vehicle model (hardware > CAN1 > Vehicle model):

Open

Note. There is possibility to use universal program for truck - “CUSTOM-3 UNIVERSAL J1939 <VMID: 2457, Version: 1>”. Use it if you work mostly with trucks.

Another way to change Vehicle model (optional).

You do not need to create different templates for each model. It is possible to use overriding function in Device Setting (DEVICES SDK tab, click to edit needed IMEI).

Open

Using this way of configuration, model will be changed just for this particular device, original setting template will remain unchanged.

II. Parameters configuration.

Next step is to insert CAN parameters into packet to be sent to monitoring server.

Based on your needs, select from a list parameters, which can be received from vehicle:

Open
