Systematic malfunction analysis

The sources of malfunctions occurring in CAN bus systems operating with several bus-based stations

must be analysed systematically since faulty components or incorrect settings can give rise to

negative interactions with intact bus devices in the CAN bus system. These unwanted interactions

can cause error messages in fully functional bus devices, which will make fault detection even more

difficult.
We recommend the following systematic fault finding procedures:

System Malfunctions

– continued –

Step 1 (Start)

Detach terminal strips

in all sensing units of

bus devices.
Level electrode

Conductivity electrode

Pressure sensor

Temperature sensor

etc.

Step 3

Apply mains voltage

to bus devices of the

system

e. g. NRS ...

and NRG ...

Step 2

Plug in terminal strips

of the sensing unit

of a system

e. g. NRS ...

and

NRG ... (electrodes)

System O. K.

Detach terminal strips

between bus devices

of the system

e. g. NRS ...

and NRG ...
