PV380 TSC1 / Freeform TX (Resolved)

Post by Hamsteh » Wed Jul 23, 2014 9:41 pm

Hello,

I am having some difficulties with the freeform CAN transmit (specifically for the purpose of TSC1 speed control) via a PV380. (Powervision 2.7.10419)

I am finding that the action "J19390> Tx Ext Free Form(msg)" is not sending a single frame as I would have expected, but is instead beginning a continuous loop of sending a burst of frames with periods below 50ms... despite only a single call of the action. I am also seeing Arbitration Lost Erros in CAN Capture shortly after this process begins...

Furthermore, when attempting to change a value in the message - the only way with which to see the modified value transmitted on the bus is to call the action again - which simply results in BOTH messages continuously being transmitted asynchronously on the bus.

Is this a bug, or am I simply missing something?

Kind Regards.

Thank you Sarah for your assistance in resolving this issue.

The problem was with the CANCapture test bench and not with the configuration.
