Transmit CAN with Encode 8

(1/3) > >>

LouisGroen:
Hi everyone

I am busy with a project that requires, amongst other things, me transmitting a bunch of Boolean signals from a DP570 display to the main controller via CAN.

I have read most of the posts I could find to assist with transmitting CAN data as I am still new at this, but I cant get the application to compile.

*** ERROR 98 *** [CHPARGU2] INVALID MIX OF INPUT AND OUTPUT TYPES FOR COMPONENT: {Encode 8}
Position: module=DP570-01-00-00-00-00-XXT page=TOP!Application!DISPLAY_INPUTS x=2125000 y=1400000


*** ERROR 22 *** [CHPARGU2] ILLEGAL TYPE: {U8} ON COMPONENT: {Transmit CAN}, ENTRY A{2}
Position: module=DP570-01-00-00-00-00-XXT page=TOP!Application!DISPLAY_INPUTS x=2700000 y=2250000

Does anyone have an example of transmitting more than 8 boolean inputs over CAN?

I have attached my code if anyone can perhaps spot the issue?

Thanks

pinias:
you can Encode boolean signal but U8,

your problem is the Encode block with U8 inputs

pinias:
after encoding you need to create an array 8, type U8, and that will go to the CAN data input, that should be all

regards

There used to be a CAN Tx compliance block that handled a lot of that for you, but the developers (in their great wisdom) discontinued it.  I usually send it to my new customers.  I have attached it here.

As stated by the others you are having data type issues.  You need to be using the array operators to create an array of eight U8's.  However, the attached compliance block handles that for you.

FluidPowerTom:
Also, I've attached to this post the CAN Rx compliance block.
