6 Programming the CAN-Box via FDP

Power up the CAN-Box, and connect to the PC via a CAN download cable.
Check the CAN address of the CAN-Box:
The address is shown at power up after lighting up all icons.
If the module was already downloaded before, afterwards you have to scroll down from the main
screen to P02; press <Enter> and the actual Node ID is shown and can be modified (by default 31).

To download the module use the latest FDP version (Field Download Program) – can be downloaded
from the Lotus Notes Elektronikon Software database. Also use the latest database for
Communication Interfaces.
Select the model CANBOX and enter the serial number and generate a GUID, no other parameters
must be selected.

7 Testing the hardware connections

7.1 Control mode

Two basic control modes exist: Test control mode and LAN control.
These modes have two sub-modes: local and remote pressure sensing
By default the controller is in local test control mode.

7.1.1 Test control mode

The main screen is the test mode screen.

This mode is derived from the ‘local control’ mode and is specific for the CAN-Box to allow the
operator to check if the system is properly wired.
Using the display/keyboard, the operator can check the results upon all supported commands.
Remark: Start/Stop commands are executed in local test mode with respect of some timers (Minimum
Stop Time, Programmed Stop Time).
The commands are only executed if first the compressor is switched to the remote pressure sensing
mode.

12
7.1.2 How testing the hardware connections?

Step 1
Press the enter button → LAN icon is
blinking (Remote Pressure sensing mode)

Step 2
Press the start button → Motor is running
unload. The start command is only executed
after the minimum stop time is elapsed.

screen is changed ===Î!!!!!!!!

Step 3
Press the reset button to switch to load. The
load command is only executed after the load
delay is elapsed.

Step 4
Press the reset button again to switch to
unload.

Step 5
Press the stop button, compressor will run
unload until programmed stop time is
elapsed; then stop pulse will generated and
motor should stop.

Step 6
When the compressor is not available due to
a shutdown or any other reason, input Di03
should be opened. The CAN-Box will
indicate this status and the display show the
flashing shutdown icon and the shutdown
LED will also flash.

If one of the steps causes problems, hardware connections must be checked. After a
successful procedure, you can continue with the following chapter.

13
7.1.3 LAN control mode

Manually the controller must be put in LAN control mode; no external LAN commands are accepted in
local test mode.

From this moment on, the central controller can take over the control of the machine by steering it to
remote pressure sensing and revert to local if necessary by steering to local pressure sensing.

In the remote pressure sensing mode start/stop and load/unload commands can be sent by the central
controller over the CAN communication channel.

14
8 Display specifications

8.1 Main screen

By default there will be no analogue measurements, therefore the main screen will only show
the actual status of the compressor (Vessel & arrows icon).

When the pressure input is activated, it will be shown also on the main screen.

When the shut down input is opened, the Emergency Stop icon will blink. When a service is
triggered the service icon will blink.

The LAN icon will steady when the LAN control mode is active, it will not be visible in local
TEST control mode.

9 Addendum

9.1 Analogue Inputs

Æ Connector 2X5.

This connector provides 2 temperature inputs (Pt1000) and 1 pressure input (for Kavlico type
transducers).
By using the Field Service Program (FSP) the inputs can be activated. By default they are not active.

Note:
Take into account that, if the analogue inputs are activated, they can be used for monitoring purpose
only!
However, an additional protection “Unload due to overpressure” can be installed using a pressure
sensor with the Identification number 509 (ID=509). If configured (FSP program) this way, the
compressor will be forced to Unload condition based upon the overpressure setting parameters.

Click right on a PT 1000 Temperature Input, choose Add function → Service

Fill in this new recipe

• Choose between Low Level and High Level.
(When selected Low Level, warning LED shows if temperature is below 100°C if the
warning Level set as 100°C).
(When selected High Level, warning LED shows when temperature is higher then
100°C if the warning Level set as 100°C).
• If only a warning is needed select “Warning only”.
• Select Stop, Unload en load.
• Fill in the minimum and maximum levels.
• The warning level must be between Minimum and Maximum.

REMARK: adding protection functions on analogue inputs is NOT supported!

23
9.2 Relay contacts

K01: Start
The relay contact will be switched during 3 seconds after receiving and acknowledging a compressor
start command.
A start command will not be executed within the minimum stop time. The start command will be stored
however and will be executed after the minimum stop time is elapsed.
Start and (un)load commands during the programmed stop can be acknowledged as long as the motor
is still running. The stop procedure will be interrupted and compressor will run automatically (un)load
again. A start command can never be acknowledged if the compressor general shutdown contact is
open.

K02: Compressor stop

The relay contact will be switched during 3 seconds after receiving and acknowledging a compressor
stop command.
The K03 (compressor load/unload) relay contact will be de-energized after receiving and
acknowledging a programmed stop command; the stop pulse will be generated after elapsing the
programmed stop counter.

K03: Compressor load/unload.

After a (un)load command the load/unload relay can only be switched when the compressor running
contact is closed, i.e. when the compressor is running in remote control mode.
Conditions after a start procedure: compressor is running and the compressor start time (Y-time & load
delay time) must be elapsed.
The relay contact will be put in its normal, de-energized position by a compressor unload command.
The relay contact will be put in its energized position by a load command.
Special algorithm: the output will reflect the feedback signal, when there is no command executed and
the digital load/unload input changes, the output will be steered according to the input.
In remote control mode b.or d. (K04 is energized):
if the digital input is motor running (Di01=closed) the steering of the output follows the feedback input:
When Di02 is open K03 is de-energized
When Di02 is closed K03 is energized
If the motor is stopped (Di01=open) K03 is always de-energized
In local control mode a. (K04 is de-energized) the output K03 is always energized.

K04: Local/Central control

The relay will be in the normal, de-energized position for the local control condition.
The relay has to be energized for remote (central) control condition.
In the local control mode the relay will be energized only when the CAN-Box receives the remote
control command. The interface can never decide to switch to remote control under its own initiative.
The interface will take the decision to return to local control mode if under LAN remote control mode,
the CAN-Box receives no communication signals during the communication failure timeout.
if the local control command is received the AN-Box will revert to local pressure sensing mode.

K05/K06: Optional use for Service / Warning / Shutdown indication

The functionality is determined by measurement point number.
Shutdown: output de-energized. (The shutdown function can only be triggered by opening Di03)
Warning: output de-energized when warning is triggered (only possible on an optional analogue input)
Service: output energized when service is triggered (possible on an optional analogue input or based
on service plan)
