AnalogX

AnalogX CAN bus API

Overview

The CAN bus API provides the configuration and control interface for AnalogX

CAN Messages

CAN base ID

CAN base ID is 0xE4600 (935424)

Adjusting Base ID

The base address is determined by the state of the ADR1 and ADR2 jumpers. By default, the jumpers are bridged; cutting the jumper ADR1 will add 256 to the base ID, and cutting jumper ADR2 will add 512 to the base ID.

The combination of jumper settings will allow up to 4 AnalogX units to coexist on the same CAN bus.

ADR2	ADR1	Address
Default	Default	0xE4600 (935424)
Default	Cut	0xE4700 (935680)
Cut	Default	0xE4800 (935936)
Cut	Cut	0xE4900 (936192)

CAN Baud rate

500K and 1MB rates are supported.

500K is enabled by default; cut the jumper labeled BAUD on the bottom of AnalogX to enable 1MB rate.
