Be aware that the module checks whether the Reset-plug is attached upon every cold or warm
start. If the Reset-plug is attached, the module starts with the default CAN-parameters. It doesn't
start measurement at this point.
There is no reason to attach the Reset-plug to a module during a running measurement. It will
simply be ignored.
Note that in certain situations the unit starts warm, for example when configuring, making a
firmware update, when reading from and writing to sensor- or slot Eproms as well as other cases.
The module will not take measurements if it is started with the Reset-plug attached. It can only be
prepared to take measurements if the Reset-plug is removed. Not only that, it must also be re-
activated, for instance by briefly removing its power supply.
When operating with the Reset-plug, it is recommended to do only as much as is necessary,
namely to reset the system to a defined and thus known Baud rate. Afterwards the Reset-plug
should be removed right away. Then you can resume work with the module as accustomed.
If mysterious bus errors repeatedly occur when working with multiple imc CANSAS-modules (e.g.
modules can't be found, configuration takes too long and doesn't always work), this may be
caused by one of the following:
o The CAN-Bus wiring is faulty (e.g. terminators, no branching).
o The modules have different Baud rates. The CAN-Bus can only work properly if all the bus'
nodes have the same Baud rate. Always avoid joining modules with different Baud rates in a
CAN-Bus circuit.
