6.19.2.1 Parameterizing the SENT inputs
Input
Active: The input is in use. A SENT-sensor is connected at this input. Messages from the sensor are
evaluated, CAN-messages are composed.
Passive: The input is ignored and not evaluated. No CAN-messages are composed.
Number of channels
The amount of FAST-channels to be configured for this sensor. Adjustable from 1 to 4. The FAST-
channels contain the sensor’s actual measurement values (e.g. the pressure measured by a pressure
sensor). They are generated from the SENT message’s 6 data nibbles. Depending on the amount set
here, the corresponding amount of FAST-channels are created.
Status Channel
Off: The Status channel is deactivated; there is none. The message with the FAST-channels is only
transmitted if the SENT message’s CRC is valid.
On: The Status channel is activated. A corresponding channel (which can not be parameterized) is
created. The Status channel’s values are unsigned and are 9 bits wide.
