Tip

The software tool for further troubleshooting is the CANlink mobile 3000 Device Analyzer software. This software can be downloaded from our Document Library.
The CANlink mobile 3000 DeviceAnalyzer Setup.exe for the software can be found in folder 03_Proemion Tools Software\01_Software\08_CANlink mobile 3000 DeviceAnalyzer.
The manual for the software can be found in folder 03_Proemion Tools Software\01_Software\00_Documentation.

If you do not find the solution to your problem in this manual, please contact our support team. See chapter Service and Support.

The support team requires the following information to help you:

  1. Connect the USB Connector Cable - Diagnostic to your PC and create a device log with the CANlink mobile 3000 DeviceAnalyzer software when the problem appears. While the device log is recorded, click on Restart. This will allow the support team to also evaluate the initialization phase of the device.

  2. Read out all device and security variables with the CANlink mobile 3000 DeviceAnalyzer.

  3. What is the condition of the status LED after the restart was triggered by the DeviceAnalyzer software? If possible, create a video of the status LEDs in addition to the device log including the restart.

  4. Send the device log, the video of the status LEDs and the required output about the device and security variables by creating a ticket at Support.

Connection Problems to the DataPlatform

If the device cannot establish a connection to the DataPlatform, check the following:

  • Has the configuration been correctly loaded on the device? See chapter Configuration update.

  • Are the device LEDs lighting up correctly? See Chapter Indicator elements (LED).
