3PS devices supporting the 3PS Network Protocol on CAN
Verified Device
Load Sensor (Hardwired) – Device Type 2
General Information
A Red Lion CAN option card (G3CN, XCCN) is mandatory when using the 3PS communications driver. [g3-3ps | Word]
Device Configuration
In the Communications area select the 3 Point Solutions Driver under the Option Card – CAN tree then add a device. Select this device and enter the ID and Device Type of the 3PS target device. Continue adding devices as required for the application. [g3-3ps | Word]
NOTE: It is recommended to recompile the database when the Device Type is changed after data access configuration has begun. This is accomplished by selecting Recompile Database in the Utilities menu of the File menu. cateturn45search1
V1.10 – A Device Type of “Custom” can now be selected. This new selection allows a user to enter the numerical value associated with the device type. Wireless designation is also available. This selection provides access to all data items. It is the user’s responsibility to select the appropriate access. [g3-3ps | Word]
V1.20 – The Broadcast Message Interval and Transaction Timeout settings are now user configurable and can be adjusted according to the properties of the target device. Additionally, device polling may be decreased as needed by adjusting the Comms Delay setting available in the Advanced Settings group. [g3-3ps | Word]
Data Access Configuration
Access to the following data is available. The driver reports raw data as it is received from the target device. [g3-3ps | Word]
