Make multiple displays work at the same time

Post by serhatovan » Thu Oct 27, 2016 7:25 am

Hello,
My design needs two displays, one of them is to control the IX3212 PDMs and show the output indicators, the other is just for showing the output indicators. I mean the other is not going to control anything. I have a test box connected to all the inputs and outputs. When I upload the configurations on the displays, I am observing failures on the outputs, while there isn't any failure when controller display is in use alone. I am using version 2.8 by the way.
Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Hello serhatovan,

I would need some more details to understand the whole problem. Which "outputs" you are referring to, CAN messages, display outputs, PDM outputs...

My first response is to check the CAN source addresses and what messages the second display is transmitting. The PDM is controlled from the display using CAN messages.

What are the failures you see?

Hello stalley,
Outputs are PDM outputs and my problem is solved by sending the output indicator information from the controller display to the other display, which just shows the outputs, as a CAN message. Thanks for your time.
