UNICONTROL 3 with new, integrated CAN bus and I/O diagnosis

The new feature allows rapid diagnostics without the need for auxiliary equipment on the UNICONTROL screen. Diagnosis of CAN bus problems is usually difficult without the help of an experienced specialist because the necessary measuring instruments are not available. The new CAN bus test module facilitates diagnostics and detects CAN bus problems before they lead to a production stoppage.

The new CAN bus test module is mounted on a UNICONTROL 3 node (IP20). Diagnostic data is displayed on the operator’s screen (GCC) using the latest UNICONTROL software. The main parameters, such as resistance, voltages and error frames, are recorded and reproduced for each CAN bus line. The operator receives a warning as soon as the CAN bus operates outside preset limits. The warning messages permit a specific CAN bus check during the next regular maintenance interval.
