How to Mask Source address and priority for PV780

Post by TimTian » Tue Jul 01, 2014 4:16 am

Hi all

There is a possibility that SA and priority in CAN ID varies depending on the ECU , can we mask the SA and Priority so that the display does not refer to them.? Many thanks! :?

Best Regards,
Tim

Tim,

If you create a device that has the CAN source address of 255 it will listen to all device addresses. So if you create or modify the Engine Device so that its Source Address is 255 the gauges will no respond to data sent from any source address. Priority really shouldn't matter at all.

Hi TimTian,

PowerVision displays do not filter out received parameters by priority.

We are assuming that your question is about a display receiving parameters from ECUs at different source addresses and not transmitting parameters to a specific address.

Brian's suggestion to use 255 as the source address on a device under CANPort1, for example, eliminates the need for multiple devices on that CANPort1, since it listens to all source addresses and receives parameters from any ECU or unit on the CAN.

The PowerVision Configuration Studio manuals have a lot of useful information. The Murphy Standard configurations provided in every version of the PowerVision Configuration Studio have examples of receiving parameters from ECU/units with different source addresses under CANPort1. In the configuration tool, you can add or delete devices, change source address of the device, add/delete parameters on the devices, as described in the manuals.

Thank you for your interest in PowerVision! This forum is a great place to share information pertaining to PowerVision tools and displays.
