Perform a functional test

After uploading the configuration to the CANlink® mobile 3600, perform a functional test to verify that the device receives CAN messages and processes the configured signals.

Use a CAN monitoring tool (for example PCAN View) together with the PCAN-USB interface from the Launch Kit.

For a general overview of potential issues, see troubleshooting. For detailed information, see CANlink® mobile indicator elements.

Send CAN messages

  1. Start the CAN monitoring software on your PC.
  2. Connect to the CAN interface.
  3. Send a few sample CAN messages cyclically that correspond to the signals configured in the Receive CAN Messages section of the installed configuration on the CANlink® mobile 3600.

Simulate CAN messages
Figure 1: Simulate CAN messages

The following CAN messages can be used for test:

J1939-PGN SPN CAN ID Type DLC Data Bytes Signal
61444 190 0x18F00400 Ext 8 00 00 00 80 25 00 00 00 1200 rpm
65262 110 0x18FEEE00 Ext 8 7D 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 85°C

If a real machine is available that transmits the configured CAN messages, the CANlink® mobile 3600 can be connected directly to the corresponding CAN bus.
