6.1 Output measurement signals to CAN bus
6.1.1 MX840B-R
The MX840B-R universal module allows channels 2-8 to output to the CAN bus
(channel 1). This mode is configured entirely in the MX Assistant.
6.1.2 MX471B-R / MX471C-R
Both modules MX471B-R and MX471C-R allow measurement signals, or the signal
calculated in real time, to be output to the CAN bus. This gateway mode is typically
used in test benches or in mobile measuring mode, for connection to a central CAN-
based data logger.
This mode is configured entirely in the MX Assistant. The MX modules need to be
connected via FireWire and the signals to be transmitted must be parameterized
isochronously (in real time), and then assigned to the relevant CAN port. The
parameterization is permanently stored in the modules (EEPROM). To simplify
integration at the opposite end (for example, a logger/test bench), the MX Assistant
can generate a CANdatabase of signals (.dbc).
