Sending the Configuration via the CAN bus through a Kvaser Device
Once the configuration is ready, it can be uploaded to the Rebel Dash via the CAN bus.
If the PC and the Rebel Dash are connected to the same CAN Bus via a Kvaser device, the user can send the configuration directly onto the Rebel Dash from the PC. The Kvaser drivers must be installed if you wish to use this method to configure the Rebel Dash. Installing the Kvaser drivers is explained in section 2.2.2. Alternatively, the Rebel dash can be configured via USB, as explained in section 2.2.4.
Connect a Kvaser interface device from the PC to the Rebel Dash.
Ensure the CAN Bus is correctly terminated.
Click on the 'Devices' icon. Click on the box next to the name of the interface device to expand to select the Channel.
Click the + button to expand your Kvaser device, and click on the Channel you wish to use.
Select the baud rate by pressing the down arrow button on the baud rate option.
The baud rate needs to be adjusted to be the same as the baud rate used by the Rebel Dash device for the interface to work.
Click 'OK' to close the pop-up window.
Check the Status message at the bottom of the screen to ensure that the Kvaser device can communicate with the Rebel Dash.
Troubleshooting
If the status message at the bottom of the screen shows that the Kvaser device is 'OFFLINE', the user should investigate the cause of this problem; possibilities include:
There is no power to the Rebel Dash
The CAN bus is terminated incorrectly
The baud rate is set incorrectly
The Kvaser drivers are not installed correctly
After making changes, you must repeat Steps 3-8 to check if the issue has been resolved.
Click the 'Conf CAN' icon to send the Configuration to the Rebel Dash.
The application will show the data is being transferred to the Rebel Dash and will notify once the Rebel Dash has been configured.
