5.1 Use of the PCAN view/PCAN Explorer with MC−CAN2
Peak System Technik GmbH provides the PCAN Explorer software for the diagnostics of a
CAN network. The PCAN view program is the basic free−of−charge version of this program.
When using these programs with the MC−CAN2 card, please observe the following:
ƒ In the PCAN software, the MC−CAN2 card is not represented as hardware but as
client of a network. For this reason, the networks in the PCAN software are
represented as "internal networks" as if these networks would have no connection
to a hardware.
ƒ The status bar of the PCAN Explorer indicates a symbol with a crossed out hardware
even with a correct connection. Information such as "Busheavy" is not displayed in
the status bar.
ƒ The PCAN view shows information such as "Busheavy" only for one second, then it
disappears again.
The network names are defined as follows:
Expansion slot Connection Network name
MC 1 CAN 1 LSysbusNet1
MC 1 CAN 2 LSysbusNet2
MC 2 CAN 1 LSysbusNet3
MC 2 CAN 2 LSysbusNet4
The following illustration shows how the MC−CAN2 and the connected networks are
represented in the PCAN stat diagnostic program.
The baud rate is exclusively selected via the system bus configurator, not via network
names.
The windows "Receive" and Transmit" now continuously show the telegrams.
Details of the PCAN view, PCAN stat and PCAN Explorer programs can be found in the
corresponding online helps.
