Configuring the Analog Channels

You can change to the Analog Channel Configuration by clicking on the Tab: Not Connected.

	Pressing the Load Button Loads the settings contained in the K-Box and displays them on the screen.
	Once you have configured the K-Box as desired, click Commit to send the configuration to the K-Box. You will want to generate a new DBC file if you make any changes. This describes the configuration of the K-Box, and you can load the file into DiaLog (or another tool that supports DBC files), allowing DiaLog to interpret the data broadcast by the K-Box correctly.
	Clicking DBC Export will generate the DBC file and prompt you for the location to save it.

On this screen, you can change the following parameters:

• The additional board allows users to select the addon board type if connected.

• The CAN Ident and rate that the K-Box will broadcast ADC channels 0-3.

• The CAN Ident and rate that the K-Box will broadcast ADC channels 4-7.

• The Voltage range you wish to use for the ADC channels is either -10 to +10V, -20 to +20V or -40 to +40V, individually selectable per channel or -20 to +20V, -40 to +40V or -80 to +80V, individually selectable per channel depending on whether you choose hardware range 1 or 2.

• The CAN Ident and rates that the K-Box will broadcast thermocouple channels 0-3.

• The CAN Ident and rates that the K-Box will broadcast thermocouple channels 4-7.

• The Thermocouple type may be selected from K, T and J Types.

By clicking on the tab RTD (Resistance thermometer detectors), you can configure the KBox to work with add boards by selecting the board type from the drop-down menu.

On this screen, you can change the following parameters:

• The CAN Ident and rates that the K-Box will broadcast RTD channels 0-3.

• Select the type of RTD for each channel. RTD (0-3). Pt 100 or Pt1000 is individually selectable per channel.

• The CAN Ident and rates that the K-Box will broadcast Thermocouple channels 0-3.

• The CAN Ident and rates that the K-Box will broadcast Thermocouple channels 4-7.

• The Thermocouple Type may be selected from K, T and J Types.

Click the tab IEPE (Integrated Electronics Piezoelectric) to change to the Analog Channel configuration.

On this screen, you can change the following parameters:

For more configuration options, refer to Appendix 4.

• The CAN Ident and rates that the K-Box will broadcast IEPE channels 0-3.

• IEPE Transmit-Measure:

  • Combined: All the IEPE data is sent in one CAN message with one CAN ID.

  • Individual: Sends each IEPE channel data with a separate CAN ID.

• The sensitivity and offset of the IEPE 0, 1, 2 and 3.

• The CAN Ident and rates that the K-Box will broadcast Thermocouple channels 0-3.

• The CAN Ident and rates that the K-Box will broadcast Thermocouple channels 4-7.

• The Thermocouple type may be selected from K, T and J Types.
