configure and serialize micromod FD modules

Post by parkinson » Fri 7. Oct 2022, 17:24

What is the recommended way to put the same configuration on multiple micromod FD Digital 2 modules?

I am currently using the PCAN-Micromod FD Configuration software then sending the project to the module over CAN.
I'd like some method that production personnel could configure it without opening the project and without potentially modifying something.

Also, is there a way to put a serial number into the configuration file? Such that production personnel could enter a serial number and it is saved in the module?
I would then be able to report the serial number over the CAN bus.

The MicroMod FD configuration could only be send via our PCAN-MicroMod FD Confioguration Tool to the Device - there is no "batch" flashing etc. possible.
The Device itself always have a unique ID (see Statistc Signals ) - but no information about the configuration.

You could create a Signal, for example call it ConfigVersion, and give set for this Signal a Start-Up Value. (for example 2.4)
Then use this Signal as a part of a requested CAN Frame. You could simply read back this information via CAN Bus. (see Functions - CAN Triffer)
All you need is to change the "Start-up" Value every time you change your configuration.
