2-Setting Up the Controller Area
The Viper console must communicate with the CAN bus system to make sure that the
products are applied correctly.
Depending upon the application, the Viper console establishes communication with the
Boom/Speed Node and all Product Nodes connected to the CAN bus. When Viper
detects a node, it is displayed as ‘Found’ on the CAN Initialization Results screen.
Remember: If the Viper console establishes communications with a
node, it displays as ‘Found’ on the CAN Initializaion Results screen.
If the Viper console does not establish communication with a node, it
is displays as ‘Not Found’ on the CAN Initialization Results screen.
If a product node is not found by the Viper console, determine why
Viper cannot communicate with the node. See the Troubleshooting
section for more information about communication failures.
Detecting
the CAN
Bus Nodes
CAN Initialization Results
1. Power up your Viper console, if you have not done so already, and choose the
Viper2 program. Press OK.
2. The CAN Initialization Results screen displays. If the CAN system found all
of your nodes, press Start Viper. If not, press Retry CAN Init.
3. If your product nodes are still ‘Not Found’, and they had been found in the
past, you will need to troubleshoot the system to determine why it isn’t
communicating with the CAN system (no logic power, logic ground, faulty
CAN connection, etc.). If the product nodes are not found and this is a new
installation, skip to the ‘Re-Addressing Product Nodes Section’ and proceed.
Selecting a New Controller
1. If the CAN Initialization Results screen is not displaying, you need to select
the CAN controller. Select Menu, then Setup, and Prod Control. The
Select Controller screen displays.
2. Use the Up/Down arrow keys until you find ‘CAN’ in the list.
3. Select CAN and press OK. Viper displays Controller Setup message.
