1. OVERVIEW OF CONTROLLER

Figure 1 ­ Block diagram of the RS485-MODBUS Converter with Ethernet and CAN
The RS485-MODBUS Converter with Ethernet and CAN (later RS485-MODBUS-ENET) is a device that forwards Modbus data between the serial port (RTU), CAN and Ethernet based on a custom routing configuration. The configuration can be done using a web browser and the built-in web server running on the RS485 -MODBUS-ENET device.
The Axiomatic Electronic Assistant can be used to configure the network parameters (both RS485 and Ethernet) of the RS485-MODBUS-ENET device. The web browser interface (TCP port 80) supports the configuration of all parameters, also including the ones that have EA configuration support.
The two firmware versions, AX141810A and AX141830A both support the same data routing functions. The difference is in the amount of routing rules and message definitions. The AX141810A is a general-purpose device with support for both directions, Modbus (RTU+TCP/IP) to CAN and vice versa.
The AX141830A is targeted mainly for CAN to Modbus (RTU+TCP/IP) direction.

3.2. NAME, Address and Identification Information

The RS485-MODBUS-ENET has the following default for the J1939 NAME. The user should refer to the SAE J1939/81 standard for more information on these parameters and their ranges.

Arbitrary Address Capable Industry Group Vehicle System Instance Vehicle System Function Function Instance ECU Instance Manufacture Code Identity Number

Yes
0, Global 0
0, Non-specific system 25, Axiomatic Protocol Converter 23/24, Axiomatic AX141810A/AX141830A 0, First Instance 162, Axiomatic Technologies Variable, uniquely assigned during factory programming for each ECU

The ECU Instance is a configurable setpoint associated with the NAME. Changing this value will allow multiple ECUs of this type to be distinguishable from one another when they are connected on the same network.
The default value of the “ECU Address” setpoint is 128 (0x80), which is the preferred starting address for self-configurable ECUs as set by the SAE in J1939 tables B3 and B7. The EA will allow the selection of any address between 0 and 253. It is the user’s responsibility to select an address that complies with the standard. The user must also be aware that since the unit is arbitrary address capable, if another ECU with a higher priority NAME contends for the selected address, the RS485-MODBUS-ENET will continue select the next highest address until it finds one that it can claim. See J1939/81 for more details about address claiming.

4. WEB BROWSER BASED CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION
The RS485-MODBUS-ENET controller supports configuration of the data routing parameters from Ethernet port using a standard web browser. The web browser- based configuration requires a password before any of the parameters can be viewed or edited.
The default passwords: AX141810 firmware: AX141810A’ AX141830 firmware: AX141830A’ For default Ethernet settings, please go to section 5.2.
4.1. Parameter Editing
The RS485-MODBUS-ENET has a web server running on TCP port 80. Please note that the “Save settings” button must be pressed to save the parameters. If not, the modified parameters are discarded when moving to another configuration page or closing the web browser. The RS485MODBUS-ENET web server supports the configuration options described on the following pages.

/main_settings.shtml The Main Settings configuration page allows the user to modify the device’s IP address, netmask and the main configuration parameters for the communication interfaces. The CAN configuration parameters include the default baud rate to use and the auto-baud rate capability. The serial port configuration contains baud rate (freely settable in range 75bps…256kbps), number of data bits, start and stop bits and parity. The password can be changed by entering the same password to both New password and Retype new password entries. In case the Retype new password is left empty or the two passwords don’t match, the password is not modified.

/can_rx_settings.shtml The CAN receive message parameter settings are displayed one message at time. The message can be selected using the `Next’ and `Previous’ buttons. The `Jump to’ button selects the specified message directly. Please remember to save settings before selecting another CAN receive message to be configured, otherwise the modified settings will be lost. The `Discrete’ data type reads in the CAN data as a number (or bit field data), using the range specified by the configured number of bits (Data width). With discrete data types, the resolution, offset, minimum and maximum are not used. The `Continuous’ data type uses the J1939 data formatting with resolution, offset, minimum and maximum values. With continuous data, the data range is limited for reserving the upper range for J1939 special and error codes. The Data destination and Data destination number settings specify the target interface for the received data. The received data is always stored to a local variable assigned for each CAN receive message, but the Data destination needs to be configured for forwarding the data to the Modbus slave interfaces.

/can_tx_settings.shtml Each of the CAN transmit messages support several signals for sending out received data. The transmit messages support the same `Discrete’ and `Continuous’ data types with same characteristics than the CAN receive messages do. Please remember to save the settings before selecting a new transmit message or transmit signal. In case the values are not saved, the modifications are lost when a new message or signal is selected.

/modbus_settings.shtml The RS485-MODBUS-ENET device supports Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP/IP slaves running on the RS485 and Ethernet ports, respectively. The number and start address for each of the Modbus slave’s inputs, coils and registers can be specified. Please note that the slave interface is enabled only if the Modbus master implementation is not running on that interface. The Modbus TCP/IP node address is a “don’t care”, but the RTU slave interface will read in only the messages that are targeted to the configured Modbus node address. The number of inputs, coils and registers have an upper limit, and the web server will not accept values beyond the built-in maximum limit. If the upper limit is exceeded, the value is saturated to the maximum allowed value.

19 – 30

/modbus_master.shtml The RS485-MODBUS-ENET device supports Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP/IP master running on the RS485 and Ethernet ports, respectively. The “Ethernet master enabled” and “RS485 master enabled” options need to be set to `Yes’ for enabling the corresponding Modbus master. Please note that enabling the Modbus master will disable the corresponding Modbus slave. The Forward received data to and Default source for writes data routing options are the built-in variables for each Modbus master message definition. The CAN receive messages’ Data destination configuration can access these variables directly if configured to do so on the CAN receive message configuration page. The received Modbus data can be also sent directly to CAN bus by selecting the `Direct CAN TX’ option for the Forward received data to setpoint. In this case, the Received data number specifies the J1939 PGN to use (the priority will default to 6 and the RS485-MODBUS-ENET’s J1939 address will be used as the source address for the direct transmit messages).

/diagnostics_routing.shtml

J1939 DM1 diagnostics frames can be routed to Modbus slave interfaces (either RTU or TCP/IP) using the Diagnostics routing configuration.

The routing options include routing all received diagnostics to Modbus or only routing the specified ones.

In case specified diagnostics routing is configured, the SPN is the main parameter to configure. The diagnostics are filtered using this setting. In case needed, the FMI and SA values can be used for more detailed filtering of the received DM1 frames. The FMI and SA can be set to “don’t care” values (32 for FMI and 255 for SA) for accepting a wider range of SPNs.

The received DM1 data is forwarded to Modbus slave holding registers using this data layout.

/settings_transfer.shtml The settings can be downloaded from the RS485-MODBUS-ENET as a binary file. When a settings file is uploaded to the RS485-MODBUS-ENET, the settings are checked using a CRC32 checksum. In case the checksum isn’t correct, the uploaded settings won’t be stored to RS485-MODBUSENET’s non-volatile memory. Please also note that AX141810A and AX141830A settings are not compatible with each other due to different number of supported routing functions.

5. ECU SETPOINTS ACCESSED WITH AXIOMATIC ELECTRONIC ASSISTANT

5.1. J1939 Network Setpoints

“ECU Instance Number” and “ECU Address” setpoints and their effect are defined in section 3.2.

Name ECU Instance Number ECU Address

Range 0-7 0-253

Default 0x00 0x80
Table 2 ­ J1939 Setpoints

Notes Per J1939-81 Preferred address for a selfconfigurable ECU

If non-default values for the “ECU Instance Number” or “ECU Address” are used, they will be mirrored during a setpoint file flashing, and will only take effect once the entire file has been downloaded to the unit. After the setpoint flashing is complete, the unit will claim the new address and/or re- claim the address with the new NAME. If these setpoints are changing, it is recommended to close and re-open the CAN connection on EA after the file is loaded so that only the new NAME and address are showing in the J1939 CAN Network ECU list.

user’s mounting plate thickness. The mounting flange of the controller is 0.19 inches (4.75 mm) thick.

If the module is mounted without an enclosure, it should be mounted to reduce the likelihood of moisture entry. Install the unit with appropriate space available for servicing and for adequate wire harness access (6 inches or 15 cm) and strain relief (12 inches or 30 cm).

The CAN wiring is considered intrinsically safe. The power wires are not considered intrinsically safe and so in hazardous locations, they need to be located in conduit or conduit trays at all times. The module must be mounted in an enclosure in hazardous locations for this purpose.

All field wiring should be suitable for the operating temperature range of the module.

All chassis grounding should go to a single ground point designated for the machine and all related equipment.
