Introduction

AnalogX is a compact and lightweight 4 channel Analog to CAN I/O expander, designed to be installed in-line with your wiring harness and specially designed for the harsh automotive electrical environment.

AnalogX provides 4 buffered and protected 0-5v sensor inputs and can broadcast the sensor values between 1 and 255Hz. It also provides a 0.5A 5v reference for powering sensors.

AnalogX CAN bus API

Overview

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

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 closed (bridged); the jumper can be opened by cutting the trace between the pads. To re-close the jumper, add a small amount of solder to bridge the gap between the pads you want to close.

Opening the jumper ADR1 will add 256 to the base ID
Opening the 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 Jumper	ADR1 Jumper	Address
Closed	Closed	0xE4600 (935424)
Closed	Open	0xE4700 (935680)
Open	Closed	0xE4800 (935936)
Open	Open	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.
