Readdressing Control Channels

If the ROS device is unable to detect a CANbus node on start-up, troubleshoot the CANbus and the node and then readdress the CANbus:

Note:  Only nodes offering product control channels will need to be addressed (single or multi-product nodes, motor control, planter or seeder control nodes, etc.). When readdressing multi-channel control nodes, configure the number of channels on the node prior to readdressing the CANbus. Review Multi-Channel Node or ECU Configuration for details on configuring multi-channel control nodes.

  1. Select the Settings icon on the bottom right of the screen. The Settings Menu will open.

  2. Locate and select the CAN System module. The CAN System tab will be displayed.

  3. Select the Readdress CAN button at the bottom of the CAN System tab.

  4. Confirm the readdressing operation for nodes offering product control channels.

  5. Cycle logic power to the node to be assigned to control channel 1. To cycle power:

    1. remove the logic power fuse on the cable connected directly to the node,

    2. disconnect the node harness from the CANbus network (generation 2 systems), or

    3. remove the node connector with the power and ground (red and white lead wires).

  6. Continue to cycle logic power for any remaining nodes connected to the CANbus to assign remaining control channels as necessary.

  7. When all product control nodes on the CANbus system have been assigned to control channels, select the OK button to finish the readdressing process.

  8. ROS will restart CANbus communications and return to the CAN system tab. If all nodes are detected, continue field operations as normal. If CAN control nodes are still not detected, refer to the Raven CANbus Installation Manual or contact a local Raven dealer for additional assistance troubleshooting the node.

ECUs with product control capabilities may be re-ordered, or re-addressed, on the UTClosed A Universal Terminal (formerly Virtual Terminal) is an electronic display or console capable of interfacing with ECUs on an ISOBUS network. display using the ISO Product Control module. This feature may be useful to configure the ECUClosed Electronic Control Unit display or resort control channels for display during field operations.

If the ISOBUS needs to be reconfigured:

  1. Select the Settings icon on the bottom right of the screen. The Settings Menu will open.

  2. Locate and select the ISO Product Control module. The Product ID Mapping page will be displayed.

  3. Select the desired control channel to modify.

  4. Select the up or down arrows along the right side of the display to move the selected channel up or down in the channel order.

  5. Repeat this process for each control channel to readdress each product control channel available on the ISOBUS system.
