6.4.2.2.3 CAN2.0A and CanOpen
The 11 bit format is designed to be compatible with the CanOpen standard. It can also be used with any system
that allows raw CAN-bus 2.0A identifiers to be received.
In order to use 11 bit identifiers (CAN 2.0A) set a value below 0x7ff for the ``Base Address’’.
For a CanOpen network, use a base address of 0x182 for example. This will result in message IDs corresponding to
the CanOpen ``pre-defined connection set’’.
6.4.2.3 Operations
6.4.2.3.1 CAN-bus Settings
CAN2.0B (29 bit identifiers)
CAN2.0A (11 bit identifiers)
User Set 1M/800k/500k/250k/125k/100k/50k/20k/10k
6.4.2.3.2 Operation
Typically the installer will have configured the CMS to automatically start continuous testing. At the end of each
set test interval (e.g. 2 minutes) the CMS will emit a CAN ``Result Codes’’ message using the set CAN identifier
(e.g. 0x18FFB53F using hexadecimal notation). So a typical CAN message might be:
Details of the CAN-bus messages supported are in 11.2
See appendix 11.2 for more an example walk through and messages.
6.4.3 Analogue 4-20mA Modes
The CMS provides two analog 4-20mA current loop outputs, A and B. In order to provide the possibility of
transmitting more than two parameters, several different modes can be chosen to suit the application.
6.4.3.1 Fixed – NAS1638 and RH
The CMS result format must be set to NAS1638. The outputs then simply indicate the NAS1638 contamination
class and the RH level as follows:
4mA NAS 00
5mA NAS 0
6mA NAS 1
…
17mA NAS 12
20mA OVERRANGE
4mA 0% RH
5mA 6.25% RH
20mA 100% RH
