CAN bus settings
Background
With new emission legislations the requirements on customer panels increases and a document describing what needs to be implemented in the OEM CAN panels is needed.
Requirements on OEM panels
There is one message that has to be sent to the VP EECU and that is the VP status message. See section VP STATUS MESSAGE: OC FF 46 11. Without this message the EECU will set a fault code on the CAN bus and disregard more communication.
Engine interface connector (EIC)
The EIC contains 8 pins with the following functions:
1 CAN High
2 CAN Low
3 Battery minus
4 Battery plus
5 Ignition and energized to run extra stop
6 Energized to extra stop
7 J1587A
8 J1587B
This is where any CAN panel shall connect to battery plus and battery minus in order to be powered. Battery after key and extra stop shall get the positive voltage from pin 4 (battery plus) when powered.

Battery after key - signal
The battery after key - signal is a “wake up” signal to the EMS. When this pin get powered the main relay will be activated which will power the EMS and the EMS will start to communicate.
This pin should have power for as long as the EMS is supposed to communicate. The EMS will hold this relay even without getting power via this signal once the software is up and running. However, in order to avoid problems in the aftermarket, it shall always be power on this pin when the EMS is supposed to communicate.
NOTICE! The battery after key signal can be configured via VP aftermarket tool. So that the engine will stop if power is removed from the pin. (Pin 5 in the 8- pole Engine Interface Connector; EIC). It shall also always be possible to power this pin without having to start the engine in order to be able to work on the engine with after market tools.

Extra stop - signal
The stop input signal, stops the engine when voltage is applied to this pin. (Pin 6 in the 8-pole Engine Interface Connector; EIC)
Never have a stop signal being continuously sent to a powered control unit. If there is a continuous active stop signal over time, it could damage the engine control unit. 

The voltage to the stop signal should come from pin 4 in the engine interface connector.

What Is the Difference Between Electric Motor and Electric Generator

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and winding currents to generate force. In certain applications, such as in regenerative braking with traction motors, electric motors can be used in reverse as generators to recover energy that might otherwise be lost as heat and friction. An electric generator operates in the reverse direction, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Electric generator can be divided into various type, open type, silent type, trailer type, portable type and container type, etc. Electric generator is mainly composed of diesel engine & alternator. Electric generator set is mainly composed of engine, alternator, control module, and common base. Electric generator :- Electric generator is a type of machine which converts mechanical input (energy) into electrical output (...

Engine Fault Code Messages - Volvo Penta Engine

Volvo Penta Engine Fault Code When a malfunction has occurred and the diagnostic system has generated one or more fault codes, these are read out differently depending on the equipment used. Please refer to “Fault code messages”. If the system indicates that a fault code has been set: 1 Cut engine speed to idle, or shut the Volvo engine off. 2 For DCU/DU Read the fault code from the display, please refer to Reading fault codes via the DCU or Reading fault codes via the DU. For CIU press the diagnostic button and read the fault code, by observing the flashing of the diagnostic lamp. Refer to Reading fault codes via the diagnostic lamp, CIU. 3 Look up the fault code in the Fault Code Register chapter and take the recommended measures. Reading fault codes via the DU (Display Unit) Depending on the severity of the fault the text, either WARNING! or ALARM STOP (a buzzer sounds) will be shown on the display 1 Press any button to come to the fault list. The f...
