In the Analog and Digital tabs, you can configure the signals for the CAN gateways
Analog and Digital tab
Name
Enter a meaningful plain text name for the signal.
Unit (analog signals only)
Assignment of a physical unit for the signal
You can enter a maximum of 11 characters, the field is only considered a comment field. The unit is always displayed in conjunction with a numerical display of the values.
Gain, Offset (analog signals only)
Specification of gain and offset for scaling the incoming values
The values describe a linear characteristic curve for scaling. If incoming values are specified in physical units, you can ignore this function, i.e. Gain = 1 and Offset = 0.
CAN ID
ID of the associated CAN message
Address
Byte address within the 8 data bytes of a CAN message
Length (bit) (analog signals only)
Length of the message in bits
If you change the data type, this length changes automatically if it was equal to the bit length of the data type. It can be used to use only a few bits of a byte.
Data type (analog signals only)
Selection of the data type of the signal
The data type determines the address of the next signal.
Active
Activation or deactivation of the respective signal
Actual
Display of the current actual value of the signal
