CAN bus - How to see which CAN bus version you are running

At LINAK®, we currently supply actuators with two different CAN bus software versions - v1.x or v3.x.

Determine the actuator version with the LINAK BusLink software
Connect the actuator to the BusLink software to verify the correct software version. When the actuator is connected you can find the ‘Connection Information’ tab. In the example below, the LA36 CAN bus actuator has version 3.0.

For further information, please see the BusLink service interface chapter in the CAN bus user manual.

BusLink version 3.0
 
 

What is the difference between version 1.x and version 3.x?
On CAN bus v3.0, we have introduced several new functionalities - such as hardware addressing, dynamic speed adjustment, soft start/stop commands and increased compatibility (125 kbps, 250 kbps, 500 kbps and Autobaud).
Please note that the soft start/stop now needs to be defined in the CAN bus command (in version 3.x). If left at 0, it will result in no ramping. If set to 251 it will use the actuator’s predefined factory settings. Any number in between will set the ramping time.

For further information, please see the Communication chapter in the CAN bus user manual.

IC parallel actuator system - How to add, remove, or replace an actuator

How to add, remove or replace an actuator in your IC™ parallel actuator system.

To add or remove an actuator:

  1. Connect all actuators to BusLink to configure the number of actuators in your parallel system
  2. Before running the system, let the system initialise itself

To replace an actuator:

  1. Power the system off and replace the actuator
  2. Power the system on and the new actuator will automatically catch up to the position of the remaining actuators

IC parallel actuator system - How to initialise the system

How to initialise your IC™ parallel actuator system.

Initialise the system in two ways:

  1. Let the system initialise itself via Recovery mode, where the actuators automatically run in steps of 2000ms on and off for a full stroke length
  2. Initialise the system manually by using the BusLink software. Only the actuator in ‘position lost’ needs to be initialised by running the actuator to its mechanical endstop in one direction

IC parallel actuator system - How to troubleshoot on the system

How to troubleshoot on your IC™ parallel actuator system.

If an actuator has lost its position, the parallel system will enter Recovery mode and initialise itself. If the system is unable to run in recovery mode, please continue this troubleshooting process:

  1. Check cabling, power supply and communication signals between actuators
  2. Connect each actuator to the BusLink software and look at the error codes to identify which actuator has caused the system to stop

If it is an overcurrent error code, restart the system by running it in the opposite direction.

If these error codes are registered, actuator replacement is necessary: H-bridge fault, switch mode power supply fault, or hall sensor failure.

Still having trouble? Please contact your local LINAK® office.
