We just got done troubleshooting a new application and we found a rather annoying problem.

If I have to send the ETC5 Neutral Switch only on PGN 65219, I tell the PV480 to send the following:

PGN 65219
Priority: 3
Source: 228

Default Value = 1

This then sends the can message:

CAN-ID: 18FEC3E4
CAN-DATA: 0xFFFD

The Denso ECU we are using will then stall and refuse to respond due to a malformed can frame error - no DTC's.

In order to correct this behavior we have to pad the rest of the message with F's by doing this.


Default Value = 1

Is there a hidden function in power vision that I'm unaware of to set a bit length and pad without having to add this extra field on every message we transmit?

Thanks,

Hello cconner_aie,

It looks to me that you found the quickest way to fix it, just add byte 8 to the parameters. It looks to me that the default is transmit to xFF, so you don't have to do any special initialization.

Sorry nothing up my sleeve...

Thanks,

Just wanted to confirm that before I go through and start doing this for all our messaging.
