SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

1. Introduction

The SDM-CAN interface is designed to allow a Campbell Scientific datalogger to sample data directly from a CAN-Bus communications network and thereby allow such data to be stored along with, and in synchronization with, other data values measured directly by the datalogger.

To use the SDM-CAN device it is assumed that you have a full working understanding of the CAN network you wish to monitor. While there are moves to standardize CAN networks for different types of applications, the SDM-CAN device is designed to be as generic as possible thus allowing use in a wide range of applications, including research and development, where you may be working outside the normal standards.

As a result you will need to know details of the electrical configuration of the network, the speed and CAN standard in use, plus knowledge of the identifiers of the data packets that are of interest and the way in which data is encoded within those packets at the binary level. This information may need to be obtained from the designers of the network, from proprietary documentation or from the standards to which a network claims to comply.

Campbell Scientific cannot provide full technical support in the understanding and decoding of data on all types of CAN networks.

FIGURE 1-1. SDM-CAN CAN-Bus Interface

1.1 General Description

The SDM-CAN forms an intelligent interface between a Campbell Scientific datalogger and a CAN-Bus communications network. The SDM-CAN is configured by the datalogger under the control of the user’s datalogger program.

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

By this process the SDM-CAN can capture data on the CAN-Bus and filter out packets of interest to the user. Within each data packet the device is able to read one or more data values and convert them to numeric values compatible with the normal data stored by the datalogger.

The SDM-CAN will act as a passive listen-only device with its transmitter disabled in hardware. Alternatively it can be configured to send/respond to Remote Frame Requests, allowing it to poll remote devices for data. Data packets can also be constructed to allow it to send data out onto the CAN-Bus so it then acts as a sensor itself.

Data is transferred between the SDM-CAN interface and the datalogger using Campbell Scientific’s high speed SDM communications protocol. This protocol allows the SDM-CAN to be used in parallel with other SDM devices (including other SDM-CAN interfaces) which might, for instance, be on other CAN-Bus networks in the same vehicle.

In addition to connectors to the CAN network and the datalogger, an RS232 port is also provided both for diagnostics and operating system upgrades.

1.2 Specifications

1.2.1 General Features and Specifications

program.

• LED status flash at power up

• Additional I/O port for signaling to the datalogger that data is available,

e.g. using an interrupt function.

• Has a 9 pin, DCE RS232 port with auto baud rate detection (1200 to

115200) for diagnosis and operating software download.

• Buffer’s support data frame filtering and triggering.

1.2.2 Electrical Specifications

• Power supply range: 7 to 26V DC.

• Optional (switch selectable) galvanic isolation between the datalogger and

the CAN-Bus. The minimum isolation breakdown is 50V – this barrier is for signal isolation only, i.e. it is not a safety barrier.

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

• Hitachi H8S,16 bit CPU clocked at 10MHz.

• Uses the latest Philips SJA1000 CAN controller clocked at 16MHz.

• CAN-Bus physical interface using Philips PCA82C251 driver for 1Mbaud

capability, for use in 12V or 24V systems.

• CAN-Bus physical connection conforms to CIA draft standard 102 version

2, 9 pin D connector. (The interface will differ from this standard only with respect to pin 9, which outputs 5V DC instead of 7-13V DC.)

• A 3 way, unpluggable screw terminal block for CAN High, Low and G

also provided.

• Transmit and acknowledge to CAN-Bus can be disabled by a hardware

jumper for safety reasons, e.g. for in-vehicle, listen only monitoring.

• I/O terminal used for interrupts is pulled low by a 100Kohm resistor and is

driven to 5V via a 1Kohm impedance when an interrupt is pending.

1.2.2.1 Power Consumption

• Typical active current in self-powered, isolated mode with the CAN-Bus

in the recessive state: 70mA. (This is when the SDM-CAN is not transmitting.)

• Typical active current in self-powered, isolated mode with the CAN-Bus

in the dominant state: 120mA (this is when data is being transmitted from the SDM-CAN device).

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

• Where the DC-DC converter is not used, and power is provided to the

isolated CAN driver circuits by an external source, the current drain by the SDM-CAN is approximately 50 mA lower than the figures quoted above.

• Typical active current, non-isolated with the CAN-Bus in the recessive

state: 30mA.

• Typical active current, non-isolated with the CAN-Bus in the dominant

state: 70mA

• Typical Standby Current with or without isolation is less than 1mA (in this

mode the CAN hardware is turned off so the module cannot wake on receipt of CAN data). Current consumption increases to typically 50 mA during periods of communication to the datalogger or when the RS232 port is active.

1.2.3 Physical Specifications

• Maximum dimensions: width 175mm, height 100mm, depth 23mm

(without mounting brackets).

• Weight: 300g without mounting brackets.

2. Installation

2.1 Address Switch Configuration

• The device can be vertically mounted with all the connectors on the top

surface.

• The SDM address switch is on the right hand side.

• Fittings are available to allow vertical mounting in the CR9000 or on

enclosure chassis plates.

The SDM-CAN can be mounted in a normal card slot of a CR9000 (using optional special end brackets), on a chassis plate (using the standard brackets supplied) or can be left free-standing.

CR9000 and CR7 dataloggers require optional SDM connection kits and all dataloggers may require an upgrade to a version of operating system which supports the SDM-CAN interface.

Before installing the SDM-CAN, set the SDM address switch to ensure that the interface has a unique address on the SDM bus, and that the address is set to match the commands in the datalogger program relevant to each interface.

The SDM address switch can be set to 1 of 16 addresses. The factory-set address is 00. TABLE 2-1 shows switch position and the corresponding address. The Base 4 address is also shown, as this is the address entered in the datalogger program.

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

Please see Section 3, Programming CR10X, CR7 and CR23X Dataloggers to use the SDM-CAN, before using address F (33 base 4) as this address is often

used as a ‘group trigger’ to synchronize measurements by several SDM devices.

The switch is positioned on the right-hand side of the case, so you may have to remove the mounting bracket to gain access to this switch.

2.2 Internal Jumper Settings

The SDM-CAN interface is fitted with a number of jumpers which configure the connection to the CAN network.

Prior to setting these jumpers you need to give some consideration on how best to connect the SDM-CAN interface to the network:

1) Decide whether the CAN network is already terminated, or if the SDM-

CAN needs to provide termination. In most instances the network will already be terminated and so the default setting is no termination.

2) Decide whether to operate the SDM-CAN in a mode where it is isolated

from the CAN network. This is the ‘safest’ mode of operation as it minimizes the risk of corrupting the CAN data by the formation of grounds loops which could inject noise onto the CAN-Bus. The default setting is to run in isolated mode.

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

3) If running in isolated mode decide whether the SDM-CAN will supply

power via a built-in DC-DC converter for the isolated CAN interface components, or whether power will be sourced from an external supply. Using a converter adds 40-50mA to the power consumption of the SDMCAN when it is active. However, if a converter is not used, power must be provided from elsewhere (see below). The default setting is for the converter to be OFF, although for many applications you may need to turn it on once you have considered the implications for your power supply.

4) Decide whether the transmit functions of the SDM-CAN interface need to

be enabled in hardware. The disabled mode of operation is the safest, especially in vehicle applications, as it avoids the risk of the SDM-CAN sending bad data onto the CAN network. However, in some modes of operation, transmission is obligatory e.g. to let the SDM-CAN request data, acknowledge data or to transmit data onto the bus. If transmission is to be enabled, the relevant jumpers need to be changed. Additionally transmission must be enabled by sending the SDM-CAN an instruction which both enables and specifies the method of transmission. See Section

3.3, The Datalogger Instruction, data type 32, below.

Access to the jumpers requires the removal of the lid of the SDM-CAN. Please follow anti-static precautions during the removal of the lid and also when changing the jumpers. Refer to FIGURE 2-1 for details of the jumper positions. Labels are also provided in white writing on the circuit board.

If white jumper block not fitted then refer to FIGURE 2-2 for isolation enabled and FIGURE 2-3 for isolation disabled.

SDM-CAN PCB

Once the case lid has been removed.

OBSERVE ANTISTATIC PRECAUTIONS.

This jumper block is used to select isolated or nonisolated CAN-Bus interface. The jumper block can be removed and rotated so that the red bar is nearest to the mode arrow head. The default is for isolation enabled.

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

The DC-DC converter is off by default. This will reduce power consumption from the +12V supply but means that the isolated circuits must be powered externally. To enable the DC-DC converter move the jumper to the DC-DC ON position.

Transmission of CAN data is hardware

disabled

by default. To enable transmission, move the jumper to the TX enable position.

The CAN-Bus termination impedance is disabled by default. If you need the bus to be terminated, then move the jumper to the 120R IN position.

FIGURE 2-3. SDM-CAN Isolation disabled

2.3 Connection to the Datalogger and Power Supply

To allow communication between the SDM-CAN and a datalogger, firstly connect it to the datalogger’s SDM port, and then connect to a 12V power supply. Both the datalogger and the SDM-CAN 12V power supply must share a common ground.

The SDM port is provided in different ways on different dataloggers:

CR10X and CR23X – use the C1, C2 and C3 control ports.

CR7 – a special SDM terminal block is provided as part of the SDM upgrade

kit. This terminal block is fitted on a small module adjacent to the 9 way ‘Serial I/O’ connector on the front of the 700 control module. The connections are labeled C1, C2 and C3.

CR5000 – use the port connections labeled SDM-C1, SDM-C2 and SDM-C3.

CR9000 – connections are made via the 9 way, ‘CSI Serial I/O’ connector on

the 9080 PAM card. Pins 6, 7 and 8 are used as C3, C2 and C1 respectively. Pin 2 is ground. Campbell Scientific offers connection modules for this port which allow access to the SDM function as well as retaining normal function of the serial port, please contact your local sales office for further details.

The SDM-CAN requires a nominal 12V power supply connection (7-26V) rated at 150mA. Normally the datalogger supply can be used for this feed. A connection to ground is also required. If the 12V supply is separate from the datalogger, both the ground of the supply and datalogger must be connected together.

The SDM and power connections are made to a black terminal block on the left-hand side of the SDM-CAN interface. This terminal block has special spring loaded terminals which are simple to use and highly resistant to loosening in high vibration environments. To open the terminal simply insert

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

the tip of a small flat blade screw driver (3mm width) into the rectangular hole above the circular terminal hole. Push in the blade of the screwdriver until the spring is released and the terminal opens. Insert the pre-stripped wire and then remove the screwdriver. See FIGURE 2-4. If space is limited, as when the unit is mounted in an enclosure etc., the screwdriver can be inserted into the front of the terminal block to push open the spring, as shown in FIGURE 2-5.

FIGURE 2-4. Using the Spring Loaded Terminal Blocks (Top Option)

FIGURE 2-5. Using the Spring Loaded Terminal Blocks (Front Option)

Where you need to install more than one wire in a single terminal connector, use only stranded wires and twist the wires together before inserting them in the terminal. This type of terminal is not suitable for use with multiple solid core wires unless the wires are joined externally, e.g. using a ferrule.

Route the wires from the SDM-CAN interface to the datalogger connections using the shortest route. Avoid running them near cables which could cause noise pickup. In noisy environments use low capacitance signal cable with an overall foil screen, connecting the screen to the datalogger power ground.

Where multiple SDM devices are in use connect them in parallel to datalogger SDM ports, making sure each device has a unique SDM address. Ensure that the maximum cable length between the datalogger and the SDM-CAN does not exceed 3 meters.

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

An additional I/O terminal is provided on the SDM-CAN for use with dataloggers which support interrupt driven logging events. This might typically be used to enable the rapid capture of time critical CAN data, where the I/O port can be used to indicate to the datalogger that data has been captured and is available for immediate collection (see below). In most applications this function will not be used and the terminal need not be connected. Where it is required, it should be connected to a digital input on the datalogger.

2.3.1 LED Status Indication

When power is applied to the SDM-CAN the red ‘STATUS’ LED will flash to indicate the current status of the unit as a result of the power-up checks.

If the LED flashes once, the module has passed all power-up tests and should operate correctly. The other flash sequences are shown below. Problems with the operating system can normally be fixed by reloading the operating system.

Please contact Campbell Scientific if you are unable to resolve the problem.

TABLE 2-2. LED Status Indication

Number of flashes Indication

1 SDM-CAN is ok.

2 OS signature bad.

10 OS downloaded has failed.

2.4 Connection to CAN-Bus.

The physical connection to the CAN-Bus is achieved by one of two methods which is by either the 3 way un-pluggable screw terminals or the 9 pin ‘D’ plug which conforms to CIA draft standard 102 version 2.

The basic connections of the CAN-Bus to the three-way terminal are CAN High, CAN Low and 0V ground reference. The 3 way screw terminal is marked as ‘G H L’ on the SDM-CAN case, where G=Ground, H=CAN High, L=CAN Low.

The CIA, 9 pin, ‘D’ connector pin configuration is shown in TABLE 2-3.

9 CAN +5volts. Input or output (see text).

If the SDM-CAN hardware is configured (in either isolated or non-isolated mode) with the DC-DC converter ON, then Pin 9 of the 9 pin ‘D’ connector will provide +5V +/-10% at up to 40mA to any external device. If isolation is enabled and the DC-DC converter is set to OFF then this pin acts as an input for an external power supply capable of providing +5volts +/-10% at up to 100mA to provide power to the isolated circuitry of the SDM-CAN.

NOTE

The 3-way terminal block and CIA connector are connected in parallel internally and are not two separate connections to different CAN interfaces.

Please refer to the documentation for your CAN network to check the preferred method of connection. For many applications various standards will apply giving recommended practices for connection. Apart from the choice of connector some standards recommend different ways of ‘tapping’ into CAN networks and also recommend maximum lengths for ‘T’s or ‘stubs’ off the network. For instance, at the highest baud rate of 1Mbit/s, ISO11898 recommends a maximum bus length of 40 m and a maximum stub length of 0.3 m. These lengths increase significantly at lower bit rates.

As discussed above you also need to consider:

• If the SDM-CAN should terminate the network

• If it should be configured in isolated mode

• If transmission should be enabled

• The source of power for the isolation hardware.

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

3. Programming CR10X, CR7 and CR23X Dataloggers to use the SDM-CAN

This section describes the programming methods used for the above dataloggers to configure and use the SDM-CAN Interface. This section also covers general principles and techniques which are relevant to the other dataloggers.

3.1 General Principles

The SDM-CAN interface is controlled by instructions that the user enters in the datalogger program. For the dataloggers covered by this section the Program Instruction is number P118. Full details of the instruction are given below. This sub-section has been written to introduce the parameters of Instruction P118 and how they allow you to control the different operations of the SDM-CAN.

The initial function is to configure the SDM-CAN interface when the datalogger program is compiled. At this stage, the datalogger analyses the P118 parameters used by the program and sends the relevant commands to the SDMCAN to configure it to perform appropriate tasks.

The most common configuration task, at compile time, is to set up the SDMCAN to instruct it to filter out only the data frames of interest from all data ‘passing on the bus’.

The other configuration task done at this point is to specify the speed at which the CAN-Bus is to operate. It is important to ensure the parameters which define the speed are set correctly and all instructions have the same values entered for these parameters otherwise either no data will be received, or you risk corrupting data on the bus, if the SDM-CAN is enabled for transmission.

The next common function is to read data back from the SDM-CAN, to decode it, and to store it in input locations once the program is running. A single entry of P118 in the program can both configure the SDM-CAN during program compilation and also cause data to be read back from the SDM-CAN when that instruction is executed during normal program execution.

Similarly there is also a function which is used to send simple data from the datalogger input locations onto the CAN-Bus via the SDM-CAN. Again a single call of P118 can both configure and then transmit the data when the program is running.

A more complicated version of this function is also possible where multiple P118 instructions are used to build a transmit data frame within the SDMCAN, made up of a series of fixed or variable data values from input locations. A subsequent P118 is used to instruct the SDM-CAN to transmit the frame either immediately or in a response to a remote frame request from another device.

Finally there are some special functions normally achieved by a single a call of P118. One such function is used to change internal ‘switches’ within the SDMCAN which control its mode of operation, e.g. power mode, response to failed transmissions etc. Similar functions also allow you to read back the settings of these ‘switches’ into input locations and also to read and/or reset the number of

CAN errors detected and to also determine the general status of the SDM-CAN interface.

3.2 System Limitations

The SDM-CAN interface, in combination with a datalogger, has some limitations of which you need to be aware:

1) Memory Allocation and P118

Firstly, as discussed above, when the datalogger compiles a program with P118 in it, it sends commands to the SDM-CAN instructing it what to do at run time. When it does this the SDM-CAN allocates some of its memory (a ‘bin’) for each call of P118 in the program. Appendix A, Principles of Operation, discusses the operation of these bins and other buffers in the SDM-CAN in more detail. However, most users only need to know that there is a limit of 128 bins in the SDM-CAN thus constraining the number of instances of P118 for any one SDM-CAN to

128.

It is, of course, possible to have several SDM-CAN devices connected to the datalogger(s), each with separate SDM addresses, and each with up to 128 calls of P118.

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

2) Data Capture Limitations

Another limitation is the capability of the overall speed at which the datalogger can pick up and transfer data values back to its memory. These limitations do not arise within the SDM-CAN interface itself, as it uses a high speed CAN interface along with a fast microprocessor. Data can therefore be captured off the CAN-Bus at close to the maximum bus loading at the maximum baud rate. However, the limitations arise from the datalogger itself, both in terms of its capability to call P118 often enough (especially when making other measurements) and also in its capability to transfer the data from the SDM-CAN back into its memory over the SDM communications port.

The exact throughput possible is determined by a very complicated combination of variables, including the speed of the datalogger in question, the program it is running, how many SDM devices are in use and, to a lesser degree, other tasks it is running, e.g. communications activity.

In practice, for fast data, it will not be practical to capture every single data packet. However, the SDM-CAN will be used to sample the last reading it received on the CAN-Bus before the datalogger requests data.

If a new data value has not been captured from the CAN-Bus since the last value was transferred to the datalogger, the SDM-CAN can either be set to always return the previous value captured (default) or it can be configured (see the internal software switch settings below) to return the standard out of range value to the datalogger, i.e. –99999 if the value has already been read. This value will also be returned in the event of other errors including communication errors between the datalogger and SDM-CAN.

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

Data stored in packets on the CAN-Bus can be encoded in a number of different ways. The SDM-CAN itself can cater for many different types of data, but there are some limitations imposed by the way in which the data is stored in the datalogger. The prime limitation is that data read into the datalogger is first converted into a 4 byte floating point format which can only resolve, at most, 23 bits, or roughly 7 digits, of the decimal equivalent of any number stored. Furthermore, when data is stored to final storage, the resolution is truncated again to either 4 or 5 digits (with the exception of the CR5000/9000 dataloggers which also support storage in IEEE4 format).

To avoid over-running the datalogger’s internal floating point resolution, the maximum length of integer that the SDM-CAN can send or receive is therefore limited to 16 bits. This limited resolution can cause problems when reading CAN data where data is encoded as 32 or 64 bit integers.

The simplest solution, in those cases, is to read the value as a series of 16 bit integers written to separate input locations in the datalogger. These can then either be combined once the data has been recovered to a computer or, if some of the resolution is not needed, the data values can be combined in the datalogger using its normal maths functions. You must bear in mind, however, the limitations of the 4-byte floating point calculations and the output resolution of the datalogger.

The CAN standard also allows some types of data to be spread across several data packets, where those data packets all have the same identifier. Such data normally would consist of fixed identifiers stored as ASCII data, which do not normally have to be logged. Reliably capturing such data with the SDM-CAN is not possible, with the current software, unless the sequential packets are transmitted relatively slowly. Please contact Campbell Scientific for further information if you have a requirement to do this.

3) When transmitting CAN frames from the SDM-CAN there are situations

where some frames are not transmitted. This is because the SDM-CAN has a two layer buffer for transmitted frames. This allows a frame to be transmitted whilst a new frame is being built. However if your program tries to send frames too quickly, before earlier frames are sent, the frames will be overwritten and lost.

This scenario generally does not happen with CR10X / CR23X loggers as they are not fast enough. But with the CR5000 / CR9000 loggers it is possible to overrun the double buffer especially in pipe line mode if you are transmitting more than 2 frames per scan. It is recommended to use sequential mode in this case as it allows a delay between CAN-BUS instructions.

3.3 The Datalogger Instruction

The instruction used by all of the dataloggers covered in this chapter is Instruction 118. The structure of the instruction and parameter types is shown below. This structure is given in the same format that normal instructions are shown in the datalogger manuals. Please refer to the datalogger manual for a

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

description of the data types, entry of the instruction and how to index (‘--’) parameters.

NOTE

In some previous versions of datalogger operating systems, Instruction 118 was used for the now obsolete OBDII interface. Older datalogger manuals and Edlog help systems may still refer to this instruction. Please make sure you are using a version of the operating system that supports P118 and refer to a more recent datalogger manual or Edlog help system.

It will be apparent for some functions of P118 that some parameters are not relevant or have no function. In these cases simply leave the parameter(s) at their default value(s) which is normally zero.

3.3.2 SDM Address (Parameter 01:)

This parameter should match the SDM address set by the address switch on the side of the module to which this instruction applies. Please see Section 2.1, Address Switch Configuration, above, for more details. Also see the section below, regarding the special function of address 33.

3.3.3 TQUANTA, TSEG1, TSEG2 (Parameters 02:, 03:, 04:)

These parameters are used to set the bit rate and other timing parameters for the CAN-Bus network. On some networks the relationship between some of these parameters is predefined and just one parameter, the baud rate, is quoted. For maximum flexibility, though, the user is given access to all of the relevant parameters. TABLE 3-1 gives some typical values of the parameters for a

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

range of baud rates. However, be sure to check that these are correct for your specific network before using them.

The parameters are entered as integer numbers which define various times that control when the binary data is sampled by the CAN hardware. The following discussion and nomenclature is common to the set-up of most CAN controller chips. If you are not familiar with CAN at this level please seek the advice of someone who is familiar with your network to determine these parameters.

The overall speed of the network is specified by the baud rate, in bits per seconds, which define the time per bit (

= 1 / baudrate

bit

Within the time period for each bit the CAN standards define three different time segments which ultimately control when the CAN hardware samples the signal.

This is often shown in a diagram, thus:

) by the simple relationship:

bit

1 time-quanta

Bit time (t

Sample point

The bit time is divided into time-quanta ( time- quantum in the bit time. The

), of which there are between 8-23

(in seconds) used by the SDM-CAN is

set by the scaling factor TQUANTA (parameter 02). This is the parameter that largely determines the baud rate. To work out a suitable value of TQUANTA,

knowing the required

TQUANTA = t

, the following equation is used:

* 8*106

The first time segment is known as the synchronization segment (S-SG) and by convention is one time-quanta long.

This is followed by two segments known as the propagation segment and phase segment one. These are determined by the characteristics of the network and other devices on the network. The total of these two time segments determines the time

when the SDM-CAN samples the data bit and is known as t segment is known as phase segment two or t

TSEG1

. The final

The relationship between these times is summarized by:

bit=tq+tTSEG1+tTSEG2

(in seconds) is set using the scaling factor TSEG1 (parameter 03), the

TSEG1

value of which is calculated using the following equation:

TSEG1 = t

is set using scaling factor TSEG2 (parameter 04) the value of which is

TSEG2

TSEG1

/ tq

calculated using:

TSEG2 = t

TSEG2

/ tq

When determining the settings of these parameters it is important to ensure that the size and total number of t

exactly matches the baud rate at which the

network is to run, as the tolerance allowable is normally quoted as +/-1.5%.

The relative settings of TSEG1 and TSEG2 are not so critical as they control when the hardware samples the data value and there is normally quite a wide tolerance over which this will work.

If no data other than the baud rate of a network is available a simple ‘rule of thumb’ is to set the parameters such that there are at least eight time-quanta in the span of the bit width and that the sample point is 80% through the bit width.

500 K 2 5 2

250 K 4 5 2

125 K 8 5 2

50 K 16 7 2

20 K 40 7 2

NOTE

The same three values for these parameters should be used in every call of the P118 instruction in the datalogger program.

3.3.4 ID (Parameters 05:, 06:, 07:)

A CAN data frame includes an identifier (ID) which is used by devices on the network to identify each type of packet on the network. Some standards reserve certain IDs or ranges of IDs for specific functions. The J1939 SAE standard for instance reserves certain parts of the ID to identify the type of data, its priority and its origin (see Appendix C, Application of the SDM-CAN on Networks Complying with the J1939 SAE Standards, for a discussion of this standard and use with the SDM-CAN). The SDM-CAN is, however, transparent to any

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

special meaning of the ID; each packet is only referenced by the full ID. The CAN 2.0A standard uses an ID with 11 bits, while CAN 2.0B uses 29 bits.

When entering IDs into Instruction P118, three parameters are used. This is because the ID size, in number of bits, is too large to be encoded into a single parameter.

The first ID parameter (parameter 05) sets bits 0..10, entered as a number between 0 and 2047. This parameter also determines whether an 11-bit or a 29bit Identifier is set. If you index this parameter then an 11bit Identifier is set; the following two parameters are then irrelevant and are normally left at zero.

The second ID parameter (parameter 06) encodes bits 11..23 entered as 0 to

8191. The third ID parameter (parameter 07) is for bits 24 to 28 entered as 0 to

31.

NOTE

CAN networks either work with 11 or 29 bit IDs. As a general rule you cannot have packets with different length IDs on the same network. Therefore make sure parameter 05 specifies the same length ID for all calls of P118.

3.3.5 Data Type (Parameter 08:)

This parameter determines the type of data involved and/or the type of function this call of P118 will perform. The data type parameter is entered as a two-digit parameter in the range of 0-33. A summary table of the data types described below is given in Appendix B, A Summary of Data Types, of this manual for quick reference.

As a general rule, this function is applied only to data packets with the ID specified in parameters 05..07. The action applies to a certain number of bits within the data frame that is specified in parameter 10, starting at the bit specified in parameter 09. In some cases the number-of-bits parameter is overridden implicitly by the data type specified, e.g. IEEE4 data is always 32 bits in length. For integer values, the longest integer you read or send from one datalogger input location is 16 bits as a result of limitations in the datalogger. See Section 3.2, System Limitations, above for an explanation and workarounds.

For data types that read or set status, switches or error codes, only the input location parameter, multiplier and offset are used. Other parameters can be set to zero.

As defined by the CAN standard, data is always encoded or decoded on the assumption that the least significant bit is transmitted last or is on the ‘righthand side’ of a data frame. The data frame can be from 0 to 64 bits in length, but is normally a multiple of 8-bit bytes. This means there are typically 0-8 bytes in the data frame.

Please refer to Appendix D, Examples of CAN Data Frames and Data Encoding and Decoding, for examples of typical data frames and how to decode data within them. Appendix D, Examples of CAN Data Frames and Data Encoding and Decoding, also contains diagrams to show the method of pointing to the start bit within the data frame.

For convenience the start bit can be referenced from either end of the frame (see parameter 09 below), but this does not change the direction in which data is encoded or decoded. Within a byte the MSBit is always first (on the left).

Where the number-of-values parameter (parameter 11) is greater than one, the same function is applied to successive sections of the data frame, moving towards the ‘left’ of the frame. Data values are read to, or written from, successive input locations in the datalogger.

The data types can be grouped into different type of functions, as follows:

3.3.5.1 Collect and retrieve a data value:

This function programs the SDM-CAN to capture a particular data packet and pass specific data from the data frame within that packet back to the datalogger.

Parameter Value Data Type

1 Unsigned integer, most significant byte 1st.

2 Unsigned integer, least significant byte 1st.

3 Signed integer, most significant byte 1st.

4 Signed integer, least significant byte 1st.

5 4 byte IEEE floating point number, most significant byte 1st.

6 4 byte IEEE floating point number, least significant byte 1st.

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

3.3.5.2 Build a data frame for transmission:

The data will be sent to the SDM-CAN where it is written into a working 8byte buffer in memory. The data is written starting at the bit position determined by parameter 09 and the number of bits stored by parameter 10. When the data type parameter is set in the range of 7..12, the data is written to the buffer directly, i.e. it overwrites any previous data in that memory (see also types 13..18).

Once the buffer is complete, after using other P118s with this range of data types to construct the desired data frame, it is sent out onto the CAN-Bus by a further call of P118 with parameter 08 set to 25 or 26 (see below).

Parameter Value Data Type

7 Unsigned integer, most significant byte 1st.

8 Unsigned integer, least significant byte 1st.

9 Signed integer, most significant byte 1st.

10 Signed integer, least significant byte 1st.

11 4 byte IEEE floating point number, most significant byte 1st.

12 4 byte IEEE floating point number, least significant byte 1st.

Setting parameter 08 in the range of 13..18 has the same function as in the7..12 range, except that the data values written are logically ‘OR’ed with

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

values previously written into the memory buffer. This allows complex bit patterns to be defined, sometimes changing only as little as one bit at a time.

Parameter Value Data type

13 Unsigned integer, most significant byte 1st.

14 Unsigned integer, least significant byte 1st.

15 Signed integer, most significant byte 1st.

16 Signed integer, least significant byte 1st.

17 4 byte IEEE floating point number, most significant byte 1st.

18 4 byte IEEE floating point number, least significant byte 1st.

3.3.5.3 Transmit individual data values onto the CAN-Bus:

This range of parameter values instructs the datalogger to send a data value to the SDM-CAN in the format specified; it is loaded into the specified point in a data frame and then immediately transmitted onto the CAN-Bus. Bits within the data frame that are not set are left at zero. The data frame length is set to the minimum size (in whole bytes) required to hold the type of data value specified.

Parameter Value Data Type

19 Unsigned integer, most significant byte 1st.

20 Unsigned integer, least significant byte 1st.

21 Signed integer, most significant byte 1st.

22 Signed integer, least significant byte 1st.

23 4 byte IEEE floating point number, most significant byte 1st.

24 4 byte IEEE floating point number, least significant byte 1st.

3.3.5.4 Transmit a previously built data frame on to the CAN-Bus (type 25):

When parameter 08 is set to 25, P118 will cause the datalogger to tell the SDM-CAN to transmit a previously ‘built’ data frame which is stored in the memory buffer for this packet ID (see data types 7..18 above).

The length of the data frame transmitted is determined by parameter 10. If number of bits is less than a complete number of full bytes (1-8) then the number of bytes sent will be rounded up and all unused bits will be set to zero.

The data start bit position will normally be set to one so the data frame starts at the beginning of the memory buffer. However, you can enter a value greater than one to allow part of the buffer to be transmitted, which can simplify some binary masking operations.

The memory buffer is left unchanged after transmission.

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

3.3.5.5 Set-up previously built data frame as a Remote Frame Response (type 26):

When parameter 08 is set to 26, P118 will configure the SDM-CAN to use a previously ‘built’ data frame as remote frame response for packets of the specified ID. The length and start positions are specified as for data type 25.

3.3.5.6 Read error counters (type 27):

This will return 4 values, in successive input locations starting at the location set by parameter 12, which show certain errors the SDM-CAN has recorded. The errors are written in the following order: transmit, receive, overrun and watchdog counts. Each is a count from 0 to 255.

The transmit, receive and overrun counters are measures of the errors on the CAN-Bus network as defined by the CAN standards. If the transmit counter reaches 255 then the CAN device goes into a ‘bus-off’ state, where it effectively disconnects itself from the network.

If the SDM-CAN switches to the ‘bus-off’ state, any further reads of the error counters will show the transmit counter fixed at 127. The counters then need to be reset to enable further use of the SDM-CAN (see data type 28, below). If this situation occurs on a regular basis, firstly check the datalogger program (P118 parameters). If these are correct, check the structure and design of the network.

The watchdog counter only increments (and is automatically reset) when the SDM-CAN ‘crashes’ either due to an internal software error or a hardware fault. Please contact Campbell Scientific for further advice.

3.3.5.7 Read and reset the error counters (type 28):

This functions in exactly the same way as type 27 except that after reading the error counters they are reset to zero. This will also re-enable the SDM-CAN interface to the CAN-Bus if it has automatically entered the ‘bus-off’ state.

When the counters are reset, the CAN controller chip enters a special state and waits until it sees a period equal to 11 successive bits of inactivity on the CANBus before it returns to the normal ‘on-line’ state. Therefore this function should not be called too frequently otherwise data may be lost.

3.3.5.8 Read status (type 29):

This data type instructs the datalogger to request the current status of the SDMCAN and writes the results into a single, specified, input location. The status is encoded within that location in the format ‘abcd’ where each letter is a digit in the range 0 to 9 indicating a different type of status information.

Status ‘a’: 0 This digit is currently unused.

Status ‘b’: 0 This digit is currently unused.

Status ‘c’: 0 This digit is currently unused.

Status ‘d’: 0 Bus-On; the SDM-CAN is involved in bus activities. All of

the error counters are less than 96.

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

1 Bus-On; the SDM-CAN is involved in bus activities. One

2 Bus-Off; the SDM-CAN is not involved in bus activities.

3 Bus-Off; the SDM-CAN is not involved in bus activities.

See data type 28 above for details of the error counters and how to reset them.

3.3.5.9 Read the signature and version number of the SDM-CAN operating system (type

30):

This will return the OS signature and the OS Version number in separate locations. If the SDM-CAN detects that the OS signature is bad then zero will be returned.

3.3.5.10 Send Remote Frame Request (type 31):

A special type of CAN frame, called ‘remote frame request’ is transmitted with the CAN ID specified.

of the error counters is equal to or greater than 96.

All of the error counters are less than 96.

One of the error counters is equal to or greater than 96.

3.3.5.11 Set SDM-CAN internal software switches (type 32):

This data type instructs the datalogger to change some internal software switch settings that control the way it works. The new switch settings are read from a specified input location. The settings are encoded within that location in the format of a four digit number. For explanation purposes the four digits are represented as ‘abcd’ where each letter is a digit in the range 0 to 9 which indicates a different type of switch setting.

Once set the switches remain set until changed by another call of P118 or on loading a different program. Therefore it is only necessary to call a P118 to set these switches once, after program compilation, or when a switch needs to be changed using a call of P118 within an IF..THEN program construct (see the program examples below).

Switch ‘a’: 0 This digit is currently unused; enter zero

Switch ‘b’: 0 SDM-CAN returns the last value captured from the

network, even if read before (Default)

1 SDM-CAN returns –99999 if a data value is requested by

the datalogger and a new value has not been captured from the network, since the last request.

2-9 Currently unused

Switch ‘c’: 0 Disable I/O Interrupts (Default) – see Section 3.4.1,

Interrupts Using the I/O Connection

1 Enable I/O Interrupts, pulsed mode

2 Enable I/O Interrupts, fast mode

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

3-7 Currently unused

8 Set low power standby mode. The SDM-CAN cannot

wake from this state as a result of CAN-Bus activity. Setting this switch to any other value will bring the SDMCAN out of standby.

9 Leave this switch setting unchanged

Switch ‘d’: 0 Listen only mode, no CAN transmission or

acknowledgement to a correctly received CAN frame is possible. The SDM-CAN runs in ‘Error Passive’ mode (Default).

1 One shot transmission, no re-transmission will occur in

the event of loss of arbitration or error. Frames received correctly from an external node are acknowledged

2 Self-reception. A frame transmitted from the SDM-CAN

that was acknowledged by an external node will also be received by the SDM-CAN but no re-transmission will occur in the event of loss of arbitration or error. Frames received correctly from an external node are acknowledged

3 Normal, re-transmission will occur in the event of loss of

arbitration or error. Frames received correctly from an external node are acknowledged. This is the usual setting to use if the SDM-CAN is to be used to transmit data.

4 One shot transmission and self test mode. The SDM-CAN

will perform a successful transmission even if there is no acknowledgement from an external CAN node. Frames received correctly from an external node are acknowledged

5 Self-reception and self test mode. The SDM-CAN will

perform a successful transmission even if there is no acknowledgement from an external CAN node. Frames received correctly from an external node are acknowledged. The SDM-CAN will receive its own transmission

6 Normal and self test mode. The SDM-CAN will perform a

successful transmission even if there is no acknowledgement from an external CAN node. Frames received correctly from an external node are acknowledged.

7 Similar to switch setting 'd-3' , but this setting is

'remembered' at power-up. During power-up, the SDMCAN will acknowledge all valid messages.

NOTE: This setting relies on the datalogger having set up the SDM-CAN before use.

8 Not defined

9 Leave this switch setting unchanged

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

NOTE

3.3.5.12 Read SDM-CAN internal switches (type 33):

Please refer to the CAN standards and your own network documentation for a more detailed explanation of the switch ‘d’ modes. It is important to choose the correct setting when the SDM-CAN is required to transmit data. Also remember to check the jumper settings inside the SDM-CAN if enabling transmission, as the default setting is for transmission to be disabled in hardware.

This data type returns the internal switch settings, into a specified input location. The switch values shown are encoded in the same way as they are set (see type 34 above), with the exception that a switch setting of 9 is reserved to show an undefined error (please contact Campbell Scientific if such an error occurs).

3.3.6 Start Bit Number (Parameter 09:)

The start bit number is used to point to the least significant bit (LSB) of the data value within the CAN data frame to which this instruction relates. Within CAN data frames there is no general standard as to the order or format of the binary data. ISO11898 does specify that data should be sent with the most significant bit (MSB) first, least significant bit (LSB) last. Most diagrams show the MSB on the left and the LSB on the right. However, some users may find the start point for the data is referenced in the opposite fashion, i.e. as a count from the left side of the frame, and so the SDM-CAN supports both methods of referencing the start point.

By default the SDM-CAN follows the ISO standard and the LSB is referenced to the right-most bit of the frame. The bit number can range from 1 to 64 as there are up to 64 bits in a CAN frame. If the parameter is indexed, (marked ‘-’) then the reference is changed to point to the LSB relative to the left-hand most bit of the frame. Please note, though, that choosing this option does not have any automatic affect on the type (direction) of encoding or decoding used – it only changes the method of pointing to the LSB.

NOTE

When entering the start bit, you should always point to the position of the least significant bit of the data to be decoded/encoded. Please refer to Appendix D, Examples of CAN Data Frames and Data Encoding and Decoding, for diagrams and examples of typical data types.

3.3.7 Number of Bits (Parameter 10:)

This relates to the number of bits to use in this transaction. This number can range from 1 to 64 as there are up to 64 bits in a CAN frame. If this parameter is indexed (‘--’) then, when a new value is received, the SDM-CAN, relevant to this particular call of Instruction P118, will pulse the I/O port to indicate to the datalogger that the data has been captured and can be read (see below).

NOTE

For some data types this parameter will be overridden by a fixed number of bits required by the data type; even so the interrupt setting can still be set. For integer values, the longest integer you can read or send from one datalogger input location is 16 bits as a result of limitations within the datalogger (see Section 3.2, System Limitations, above for an explanation and work-arounds.

3.3.8 Number of Values (Parameter 11:)

This is the number of values that will be transferred to or from the datalogger in one operation. For each value transferred, the number of bits (parameter 10) will be added to the start bit number (parameter 9) when the start point is referenced to the right-hand side of the data frame. If referenced to the lefthand side, then the number of bits is subtracted from the current bit position. The consequence of this is that successive values are always from right to left in the frame.

3.3.9 Location (Parameter 12:)

This is the start input location where data will be read from or stored to. For any remaining values/repetition, each value will be read from, or stored into, the next incremental location.

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

3.3.10 Multiplier (Parameter 13:)

The data written to, or read from, an input location is multiplied by this parameter.

3.3.11 Offset (Parameter 14:)

The data written to, or read from, an input location has this offset parameter added to it.

3.4 Advanced Programming Techniques

3.4.1 Interrupts Using the I/O Connection

The I/O port can be used to signal to a datalogger that specific data has been captured, by the SDM-CAN, from the CAN network and is available for collection by the datalogger.

The main application for this is where CAN data needs to be captured at a much faster rate than the normal scan interval of the datalogger and the requirement is to capture as many CAN packets as possible. In this case the interrupt facility can be used to give capture of the CAN data as a higher priority over the normal scheduled measurement tasks, allowing the data to be captured at the highest rate possible.

The interrupt facility can also help solve the conceptual problem of capturing data into the datalogger from another system (one of the other devices on the CAN-Bus) which is running on a different asynchronous clock from the datalogger itself. This problem needs some consideration in all applications

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

except those where the datalogger can be made the master (i.e. where it requests data from the remote devices when its needs the data).

In other applications one has to cater for the possibility that data might not be available from the CAN network when the datalogger clock causes the datalogger to run its program. This can happen even when the CAN data is being transmitted at the same rate as the datalogger is running, simply because the two system clocks drift relative to each other. The interrupt facility allows you to ensure that data can be captured at the highest possible rate, but you still have to use special programming and/or data analysis techniques to synchronize the data with other measurements. The main problem is that the interrupt function might run more time stamps to the faster measurements in order to allow normal data analysis.

To enable the interrupt facility on the SDM-CAN you need to index (--) the program on the number-of-bits parameter (10) of the particular P118 instruction that you want to cause the interrupt when data is received. The following rules apply:

• The interrupt function only applies to data types which read data from

the CAN-Bus.

• You can mark more than one P118 instruction to generate an interrupt,

but you will then need to read data from all the possible data types which are indexed, as one or more may contain a new value and all new data must be read before the interrupt is cleared.

• With the CR10X and CR23X dataloggers you should ensure that all of

the P118 instructions which are marked to cause an interrupt are in the same interrupt subroutine, normally number 98. Other dataloggers do not currently support the interrupt subroutine mechanism, but can be used in a similar mode by polling the digital input connected to the SDM-CAN I/O port, and only actually reading the data when the port is high.

As well as indexing parameter 10 of the instructions, you also have to enable the interrupt function by changing an internal software ‘switch’ in the SDMCAN. This is done by calling P118 with data type 32, and setting digit ‘c’ to 1 or 2. (See above).

A switch value of 1 causes the interrupt function to operate in the following way:

a) With no Interrupt pending the I/O port is pulled low with 100Kohms.

b) With an interrupt pending,

first check that no other device is holding the port high and then pulse high for 50 milliseconds. If the I/O terminal is held at +5V by another peripheral it will wait until the I/O terminal goes low and has been low for 50 milliseconds before trying to drive it high to +5V again. The I/O line has a drive impedance of 1Kohms.

i.e. data has been captured, the SDM-CAN will

This method of driving the I/O line allows multiple SDM-CANs and other CSL products that support the I/O line to be wired in parallel. One consequence of the above technique, though, is that there will be a gap of up to 50 milliseconds

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

following the end of one interrupt before the SDM-CAN will raise the port for another interrupt. This could be a limitation in high speed data capture applications, hence the need for switch 2.

When switch 2 is set, the SDM-CAN responds immediately to data receipt and raises the port as soon as data has been received, filtered and processed. The SDM-CAN will only lower the line again permanently when the datalogger reads the data out of the SDM-CAN that caused the interrupt. To prevent problems with some events which might cause the datalogger to miss interrupts, the SDM-CAN will pulse the I/O port low for 1 ms after 50 ms, take the line high and then repeat this cycle until all the relevant data has been read. Using this switch setting will provide the quickest way of capturing data but may not work with other devices sharing the datalogger interrupt port.

NOTE

To ensure proper configuration of the SDM-CAN by the datalogger for interrupt driven applications, it will pulse its I/O port on and off at 50ms intervals for 6 seconds after power-up or program recompilation.

3.4.2 Group Trigger

The group trigger function provides a mechanism to synchronize the data capture by one or more SDM-CAN (and some other SDM devices too).

This mode is enabled when an SDM-Group Trigger (P110) instruction is encountered. When this instruction runs, it broadcasts a special SDM message which causes all the SDM-CAN devices to copy the last data values captured from the CAN-bus into the working data buffers, and no further updates are allowed until P110 runs again (normally at the next execution of the program table). P118 instructions will read the locked values which are all sampled at once.

This SDM-Group trigger command is normally positioned at the beginning of the program table to lock all data samples exactly to the start of the scan interval. It should be remembered, however, that in the case of the SDM-CAN it will simply lock these values to the last values captured which could already have been transmitted some time earlier.

The SDM-Group trigger instruction actually broadcasts its message to SDM address 33 Group trigger command is to be used. This effectively reduces the number of SDM peripherals that support global trigger to 15 units.

(base 4), which prevents this address being available if the SDM-

3.4.3 Frame buffers with filtering and triggering

Operating systems V3 include the ability for the user data logger program to attach a buffer of 256 frames to any receiving CAN ID up to a limit of 25 different ID’s.

NOTE

If the user program tries to allocate more than 25 buffers then the additional buffer allocations will be ignored.

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

Each buffer can be configured as a standard ring buffer with no trigger or filter associated with it. The buffer can also be set to start to capture data when a predefined trigger pattern is encountered within the CAN data, or it can filter and buffer only the CAN frames that have some part of the data that fits a pattern.

To configure a filter or trigger two masks are used. The first is user defined as a 64 bit include AND mask applied to the CAN data of the CAN ID of interest. A second 64 bit user defined pattern is compared with the CAN data and when it matches the results of the previous `AND’ operation the buffer will either trigger or filter CAN data of a specific ID until the buffer is full.

The buffer is a fill and stop ring buffer so if the buffer is full no more data will be stored until the logger reads a frame and makes room for another frame to be stored. With no mask and pattern bits set in trigger mode the buffer will trigger on any frame and behave as a normal ring buffer. This is useful for collecting fast back to back bursts of packets as the logger can collect them later in the knowledge the SDM-CAN will have captured up to 256 packets and stored them in its buffer.

3.4.3.1 Setup of Mask and Filter / trigger

To implement this buffer function the build data frame Data type (7) is used as follows:

a) If “start bit number” (parameter 9) is NON-zero then data type 7 will build

a data frame as normal.

b) If (parameter 9) is zero, the number of bits (parameter 10) is set to 8 with

index (--) NOT SET and number of bytes (parameter 11) is set to 16 then an `Include mask’ and `Filter mask’ can be set at run time. The first 8 bytes are the Include mask mapped directly as a 64 bit frame with the first byte as the right most byte of the data frame. The second 8 bytes is the Filter mask mapped directly as a 64 bit frame with the first byte as the right most byte of the data frame. This instruction will also flush the buffer. This is used to create the buffer and attach it to a particular ID.

c) If (parameter 9) is zero, the number of bits (parameter 10) is set to 8 with

the index (--) SET and number of bytes (parameter 11) is set to 16 then an `Include mask’ and `Trigger mask’ can be set at run time. The first 8 bytes are the Include mask mapped directly as a 64 bit frame with the first byte as the right most byte of the data frame. The second 8 bytes is the Trigger mask mapped directly as a 64 bit frame with the first byte as the right most byte of the data frame. This instruction will also flush the buffer and reset ready for trigger. This is used to create the buffer and attach it to a particular ID.

3.4.3.2 Reading / Polling Buffer

To implement this buffer function the read switch Data type (33) is used as follows:

a) If “start bit number” (parameter 9) is zero then data type 33 will read the

internal switches as normal.

b) If (parameter 9) is one, the number of bits (parameter 10) is set to 8 with

the index (--) NOT SET and number of bytes (parameter 11) is set to zero then one CAN frame will be transferred from the buffer to the working buffer ready for normal data collection using Data Types 1-6. Also the number of CAN frames stored in the buffer will be stored in a logger location specified by this instruction.

c) If (parameter 9) is one, number of bits (parameter 10) is set to 8 with the

index (--) SET and number of bytes (parameter 11) is set to zero then only the number of CAN frames stored in the buffer will be stored in a logger location specified by this instruction. This instruction would generally be used for polling the buffer.

3.4.3.3 Basic Sequence of Buffer Usage:

1. Initialize buffer and trigger event or filter using an SDM-CAN instruction

with data type 7.

2. Wait long enough or poll the buffer until enough CAN frames are

collected using an SDM-CAN instruction with data type 33.

3. Transfer a CAN frame from the buffer to the working buffer using an

SDN-CAN instruction with data type 33.

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

4. Parse the CAN data frame using the normal SDM-CAN data types 1-6.

5. Repeat from (3) until you have collected and parsed all the CAN frames

you require from the buffer.

6. Do other processing ………..

7. Repeat from (1) to collect another set of CAN frames.

3.5 Program Examples

NOTE

The default setting for the SDM-CAN internal software switches is 0. The switches must be set by using the data type 32 parameter to enable data transmission. Also remember to check the jumper settings inside the SDM-CAN if enabling transmission, as the default setting is for transmission to be disabled in hardware.

3.5.4 Using the Interrupt Function

By indexing (‘--‘) the No. of bits parameter, when a new value that an instruction refers to is received the SDM-CAN I/O interrupt is enabled. This can be used to set a control port high and run an interrupt subroutine. An example of using the interrupt function is shown below.

3.5.5 Using the Group Trigger

The SDM-Group Trigger controls SDM devices that support the Group Trigger protocol, including the SDM-CAN. All Group Trigger devices are triggered to make simultaneous measurements, the data is then retrieved by using the appropriate instruction.

For the SDM-CAN, this instruction is can be used in a vehicle where more than one CANbus network is present. An example of using the group trigger is shown below.

4. Programming CRBasic Dataloggers to use the SDM-CAN

This chapter describes how to program the CR5000/CR9000X and older CR9000 dataloggers, using CRBASIC language, to control the SDM-CAN interface. Similar principles can be followed for newer CRX000 dataloggers that include the SDM-CAN instruction in their operating system.

4.1 General Principles

Some newer dataloggers use the CRBASIC programming language. CRBASIC incorporates an instruction which is virtually identical to P118, described in

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

Section 3, Programming CR10X, CR7 and CR23X Dataloggers to use the SDM-CAN. To avoid duplication this section of the manual simply references

the relevant paragraphs in that section. For this reason you are advised to read section three in its entirety to gain a full understanding of all the general principles and parameter settings.

Currently neither the CR5000, CR9000X nor CR9000 support interrupt driven events as described above. However, with the extra speed of these dataloggers, a similar function can be achieved by polling a digital input and only executing the instructions required when the port is high. The consequences of doing this in either the slow or fast tables needs to be considered, especially when trying to synchronize this data with analogue measurements.

4.1.1 High Speed Block Mode

Operating system Version 3 supports a new high speed block mode for SDM communication that allows much faster data transfers to the logger. This was implemented for the CR9000 and CR5000 to allow users to run a program at more than 200Hz with the SDM-CAN. It gives a 5 fold improvement in performance over normal mode. Block mode operation is activated by using data types 65 to 70; these are the block mode equivalents of data type’s 1 to 6. When block mode is active then all CAN data is collected at the beginning of the scan in parallel with analogue measurements. There are a number of restrictions when using block mode. There is a limit of 128 values that can be read in total. Other restrictions are logger specific. On a CR9000 - firstly you can only have one differently addressed SDM-CAN in each scan unless all other differently addressed SDM-CAN’s are using normal mode data types 1 to

6. Secondly you cannot use conditional statements with SDM-CAN instructions which are enabled for block mode. Restrictions for use with the CR9000X/CR5000 are that you must keep all block mode instructions together and not intermix normal mode instructions within the group of block mode instructions. You can however put normal mode instructions in front or after the group of block mode instructions. You cannot use conditional statements on either normal or block mode SDM-CAN instructions.

Time to execute block mode for a CR9000 in milliseconds with maximum bus speed `SDMSpeed(0)’ is approximately = 1.50 + 0.1 * n bytes of data.

Time to execute block mode for a CR9000 in milliseconds with default bus speed is approximately = 2.07 + 0.207 * n bytes of data.

Time to execute block mode for a CR5000 in milliseconds with maximum bus speed `SDMSpeed(12)’ is approximately = 1.60 + 0.108 * n bytes of data.

Time to execute block mode for a CR5000 in milliseconds with default bus speed is approximately = 2.12 + 0.27 * n bytes of data.

This timing is only for the block mode instruction and any other instructions within the scan will reduce the maximum possible scan rate.

4.2 Datalogger Instruction

The SDM-CAN is controlled by an instruction called CANBUS. Please check that your datalogger’s operating system includes this instruction. You may also

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

require an update to your CRBASIC editor to get the full help screens. Contact Campbell Scientific if you need advice about upgrading your operating system.

The CANBUS instruction takes the form:

CANBUS(CANDATA(),ADDRESS,TIMEQUANTA,TSEG1,TSEG2,ID,

DATATYPE,STARTBIT,NUMBITS,NUMVALS,MULT,OFFSET)

where:

CANDATA is a variable or array which either holds data to be transmitted or

will hold data that is to be read from the CAN-Bus.

ADDRESS is the SDM address of the SDM-CAN in question.

TQUANTA, TSEG1 and TSEG2 have the same function as in P118 above.

ID is the CAN ID, where the ID is entered as a single decimal equivalent.

Entering the number as a negative value signifies it is an 11 bit ID, otherwise it is a 29-bit ID.

NOTE

Due to current system constraints the ID parameter must be entered directly into the CanBus instruction.

DATATYPE is the same as in P118.

STARTBIT is the same as in P118, except you enter a negative number

instead of ‘indexing’ the number to signify lefthand referencing.

NUMBITS is the same, and again a negative number is equivalent to indexing

the value to enable an interrupt.

NUMVALS, MULT and OFFSET all have the same function.

4.2.3 Digital I/O Triggered CANbus Measurements

Although the CR5000 and CR9000 do not have the interrupt feature that is available on the CR10X, CR7 and CR23X it is possible to connect the I/O line from the SDM-CAN to a Digital I/O port. A program control instruction can then be used to trigger the retrieval of new CAN data from the SDM-CAN when the port is high. An example of this is shown below

Due to current system constraints the ID parameter must be entered directly into the CanBus instruction.

4.2.4 SlowSequence Instruction

It is also possible to have a SlowSequence Scan for low priority CANbus measurements that are not needed at the rate of the primary scan interval. The CR9000 or CR5000 tags on measurement instructions from the slow sequence scan to the normal scan as time allows.

Please refer to the CR9000 or CR5000 on-line help for a more detailed explanation of the SlowSequence instruction.

5. Using the RS232 Serial Diagnostics Port

5.1 Connecting to the RS232 User Port

The user communication port is a DCE configured, 9 pin RS232 port. The port automatically powers up when it detects valid RS232 signals and shuts down after a period of inactivity. The SDM-CAN automatically detects the incoming baud rates in the range from 1200 to 115200 baud. It is configured to work with eight data bits, one start bit and stop bit and no parity. The pin out of the RS232 DCE 9 pin ‘D’ plug is shown in TABLE 5-1.

TABLE 5-1. RS232 Pin Out

Pin Number RS232 function Direction of signal

1 DCD input.

2 RX input.

3 TX Output.

4 DTR Output.

5 0V Ground.

6 DSR input.

7 RTS Output.

8 CTS input.

9 RI input.

To connect the SDM-CAN to most computers use a NULL Modem cable. When you try to communicate with the SDM-CAN, first send at least three ‘Carriage Returns’ so the SDM-CAN can recognize the baud rate at which you are communicating. As soon as your baud rate has been detected, the SDMCAN will return the prompt ‘CAN>’ to your terminal window. If you have just powered the SDM-CAN up, you must wait until the LED status flash has finished before you attempt to communicate.

The User Command interface will accept a number of commands which allow the user to view CAN frames, view set-up and other debug tools. These commands are discussed below.

5.2 Diagnostic Commands

Most commands are sent in normal ASCII text. The interface is not case sensitive and supports backspace for correction of typing errors. Normally you would execute these commands from a PC which is running a terminal emulator such as Hyperterminal.

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

Some parameters for the commands are normally entered in decimal base 10 format, but you can also enter them in hex format if you precede the number with ‘0x’. For example, 123456 hex format 0x1e240

can be entered ‘as it is’ or, alternatively, in

The diagnostic commands are listed below:

BINS – This command will cause a hex dump of the bins configured by the datalogger program. The output for each line is as follows:

Bin number, Data type, Start bit, Number of bits, Buffer pointer, Bin flags, Number of values, TQUANTA, TSEG1, TSEG2, SDM mode and CAN ID. These fields are in raw format and may contain flags to indicate modes. This command is used by Campbell Scientific for diagnostic purposes only.

BUFFERS – Takes no parameters. This command will dump the buffers configured by the datalogger program.

The output format is:

On the first line after the command, the number of buffers used in shown in hex format, then on each successive line the buffer set-up is dumped in the following hex form: Buffer Number, Frame ID, Info Byte, Flags, Working Buffer, Read Buffer, Bin Number Pointer. This command is only normally used by Campbell Scientific for diagnostic purposes.

CANBAUD nnnn – Scans the CANBUS to attempt to ascertain the current baud rate. Parameter 'n' is in the range of 0-255 and is the amount of time, in steps of 50ms, the SDM-CAN should dwell at each baud rate looking for CANBUS activity. If the 'n' parameter is omitted, two seconds dwell time will be used by default.

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

The CANBUS is scanned for the following baud rates:

20K, 50K, 125K, 250K, 500K, 800K and 1 Megabaud.

As soon as the baud rate is found, the bus parameters TQUANTA, TESG1, TSEG2 and frames / n*50msec are reported to the user. The SDM-CAN will then be set to, and stay at, this baud rate until the changed by the datalogger following a re-compilation of the program by the user, or by a datalogger SDM communications error which will force the SDM-CAN to be reset. If no baud rate can be detected, an error is reported to the user.

Because any communication errors cause a default back to the datalogger set baud rate, it is not recommended that this command is used for anything other than CANBUS diagnostic purposes.

CLRERROR – Takes no parameters. This command will clear all the error counters Transmit, Receive, Overrun and Watch-dog to zero and clear a bus off condition.

COMP – Takes no parameters. This command will force the datalogger to resend all of the configuration information again. This command is used by Campbell Scientific for debugging purposes only.

HELP or ? – Prints a list of valid user commands.

HEXDUMP aaaa bbbb – The first parameter ‘aaaa’ is the start address and

the second parameter ‘bbbb’ is the number of bytes to dump. This command will dump the SDM-CAN’s full memory address range in a hex format. Each line that is output starts with the address followed by a16 byte value and then the ASCII characters. Any unprintable characters are represented by a ‘.’ character.

MONITOR nnnn – This command takes parameters in the range n=0 to n=2, where:

0 = monitor CANBUS for IDs used by the datalogger program (this is the

default if the parameter is missing).

1 = monitor CANBUS for IDs that are allowed to pass through the simple

IDfilter.

2 = monitor all CANBUS messages on the bus.

The monitor command will output a CAN frame in hex format when received. This command has a ring buffer that can hold 20 frames before it overflows. Monitor mode will not miss frames when they come in high speed burst’s. This command will perform better the higher the terminal baud rate.

The hex output format of the command is as follows:- Info byte, Frame ID, Frame Data. To exit this command use ‘CTRL-C’.

SETCANBAUD nnnn nnnn nnnn – Sets the CANBUS baud rate. The parameters are in the following order: TQUANTA = 0 - 63, TSEG1 = 0 - 15 and TSEG2 = 0 to 7. See Section 3, Programming CR10X, CR7 and CR23X Dataloggers to use the SDM-CAN, which gives details on how to calculate baud rate using these parameters. The SDM-CAN baud rate will stay set until it is changed by the datalogger following a program re-compilation by the user,

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

or by a datalogger communications error, which will force the SDM-CAN to be reset.

If parameters are omitted, the default setting is 1 Megabaud with the following parameters: TQUANTA=1, TSEG1=5 and TSEG2=2.

Because any communication errors cause a default back to the datalogger set baud rate, it is not recommended that this command is used for anything other than CANBUS diagnostic purposes.

STAT – Takes no parameters. This command will return the CAN bus status as follows (each value is output on a new line in decimal format):

TQUANTA, TSEG1, TSEG2, Transmit error, Receive error, Overrun error, Watchdog error, Switch Settings, SDM Address, verbose mode, Bus mode and buffers = n buffers and the 3

Bus mode indicates the following states:

0 = Bus-On; the SDM-CAN is involved in bus activities. Error counters

1 = Bus-On; the SDM-CAN is involved in bus activities. Error counters

2 = Bus-Off; the SDM-CAN is not involved in bus activities. Error

3 = Bus-Off; the SDM-CAN is not involved in bus activities. Error

n where the first `n’ is number of bins, the 2nd `n’ is number of

`n’ is number of frame buffers.

are less than 96.

are equal to or greater than 96.

counters are less than 96.

counters are equal to or greater than 96.

SWITCH nnnn – This command changes the internal switch settings of the SDM-CAN. Please refer to Data type 32, in Section 3, Programming CR10X, CR7 and CR23X Dataloggers to use the SDM-CAN, above, for details of the switch parameter.

VERBOSE nnnn – The parameter nnnn is the verbose mode. With no parameter or when nnnn=0 verbose mode is off, otherwise if nnnn>0 verbose mode is on. Currently verbose mode ‘1’ turns on compile reports – used for Campbell Scientific debugging purposes only.

VERSION – Takes no parameters. This command will output the OS version number on the first line and the OS signature on the second line. If the signature is zero then the OS is corrupt and the SDM-CAN may malfunction. The Status is then returned (see STAT above).

5.3 Loading a New Operating System into the SDM-CAN Interface

When new functions are added, or bugs fixed, new versions of the operating system for the SDM-CAN interface may become available. As with most newer Campbell Scientific devices, the operating system is stored in nonvolatile memory which can be re-programmed or updated by downloading a new operating system to the module from a PC running appropriate Campbell Scientific software (see below).

SDM-CAN Datalogger-to-CANbus Interface

For downloading software you will need the following:

• Device Configuration Utility (DevConfig), which is bundled with

PC400 and LoggerNet datalogger support software. It is also

available at no charge from www.campbellsci.com/downloads.

• A copy of the SDM-CAN operating system (copied to your hard-disk)

• A PC running Microsoft Windows

• A null-modem cable that connects the RS-232 port on the SDM-CAN

to a serial port on your PC

The SDM-CAN also requires a 12V power supply, but does not have to be connected to a datalogger.

To load the new operating system take the following steps:

• Run DevConfig and select SDM-CAN for the device type.

• Follow the instructions presented in DevConfig.

6. Attributions

• Wait until the process has completely finished and reports a successful

upgrade before removing power from the SDM-CAN or quitting DevConfig.

Appendix A. Principles of Operation

A.1 Data Collection

The SDM-CAN operation is based on a number of sequential buffers. The hardware has a dedicated CAN controller chip connected to a microprocessor which analyses and processes the raw CAN data and then transmits it to the datalogger.

When the CAN-Bus controller receives a good frame first of all it uses its internal hardware to filter out the frames of no interest to the user. If the frame ID satisfies the filter requirements then it allows the frame to be transferred to a hardware FIFO. This FIFO can hold up to 3 CAN frames. Whenever data is in this FIFO an interrupt mechanism will cause the SDM-CAN processor to read the data from the CAN controller.

When the processor reads the CAN frame it will do a more detailed check to see if the CAN frame ID is one of the ones required. This is because the hardware filter only matches an overall pattern and may let some CAN frames through that are not required. If the CAN frame ID is accepted, it will then be placed into the ‘Working Buffer’ of a ‘Buffer Set’, which is made up of a set of small buffers in memory, each set being dedicated to a specific packet ID.

The ‘Buffer Set’ consist of ‘some configuration data’, ‘ID Buffer’, ‘Working Buffer’ and a ‘Read Buffer’. When the datalogger program is compiled it will configure the buffers with a specific ID in the ‘ID Buffer’ and also set up the buffer configuration. Many SDM-CAN instructions may share buffers because the CAN frame ID and configuration is the same.

Each SDM-CAN instruction will create what is called a BIN within the SDMCAN. This BIN holds information such as which ‘data type’ to use, which ‘Buffer Set’ it should get the data from and where its ‘New data flag’ is located plus a large amount of other information.

The ‘New data’ flags are set when new data arrives into the ‘Working Buffer’ of the ‘Buffer Set’. Because there could be multiple BINs using one ‘Buffer Set’ there will be multiple ‘New data’ flags as well, so all the relevant ‘New data’ flags will be set at the same time. When the datalogger program reaches a point where it needs to read the data, the SDM-CAN will first check the ‘New data flag’. If this flag is clear, the datalogger will read the previous data value unless the switch is set to detect/prevent multiple reads (see Section 3, Programming CR10X, CR7 and CR23X Dataloggers to use the SDM-CAN) in which case an over-range value is read (-99999 on some dataloggers). The SDM-CAN will then clear the appropriate ‘New data’ flag relevant to the BIN and instruction that requested the data. Because there is effectively one ‘New data’ flag per call of P118 this means that you could read the same new data to many different locations. However, you should be aware that different data could be returned by the different calls of the instruction, as a new data frame could be captured as the datalogger works through the program table. This problem can be avoided by using the Global trigger function.

A-1

Appendix A. Principles of Operation

A.2 Frame Transmission

When the datalogger program is first run it will set-up the SDM-CAN BINs and buffers. If the program has some P118 instructions that transmit to the CAN-Bus, then some of the Buffers will be set-up for transmission. When an instruction indicates that a transmission should take place, the datalogger first sends a BIN number. This number tells the SDM-CAN which BIN to use and, from the compile-time set up, what operation is required. In the case of transmission it would expect frame data to be sent from the datalogger.

On receiving the frame data from the datalogger the SDM-CAN will convert and shift the data into the correct position and then place it into the read buffer which is set as a 64 bit frame. Depending on your program, you could then continue to build a frame or decide to transmit it onto the CAN-Bus. If you have completed the building of a frame then you have the choice to either transmit it onto the CAN-Bus or set it up as a Remote Frame Response. For the transmitted frames, the SDM-CAN will set a flag in the buffer to indicate new data is ready for transmission. The SDM-CAN will scan the buffers, checking this flag in each buffer that is set for transmission. When it finds a flag that is set, it will first check if the transmitter is busy, and if it is will wait until it is free. The frame will then be transferred to the transmitter which will transmit it onto the bus. Finally the transmit data flag will be cleared.

When a frame is set up for a remote frame response, the frame is transferred into the working buffer ready for reception of a Remote Frame Request. When a Remote Frame Request is received, and is accepted as a valid frame, the SDM-CAN will find the relevant buffer, and will then set the data transmit flag. From then on it will follow the normal frame transmission protocol as described above.

Priority 3 Reserved 0 Data Page 0 PDU Format 240 PDU Specific 3 Source Address 0

These decimal values then need to be converted to binary and encoded into the 29 bit identifier.

Priority 011 Reserved 0 Data Page 0 PDU Format 11110000 PDU Specific 00000011 Source Address 00000000

This gives a binary value of 01100111100000000001100000000 that can then be split into three values for use as the ID parameter.

The first value is made up of bits 0..10 which is 01100000000 converted to 768

The second value is made up of bits 11..23 which is 1111000000000 converted to 7680

The third value is made up of bits 24..28 which is 01100

and used as the third ID parameter.
