- Page 1 User Manual ACC2 Open Release 1.01...
- Page 2 1 – Introduction ACC2 Open (Analog CAN Converter Open) is an external expansion module that samples up to 4 analogic signals, converts them into digital values depending upon the chosen unit of measure and transmits them via CAN through freely configurable messages, at a maximum frequency of 200 Hz.
- Page 3 2.1 – USB, Power and CAN Connections The second connector of the ACC2 Open is intended for: • power: 9-12V for sensors which output is less than 12V 12-15V for sensors which power is 12V • USB connection: it is required for transmitting the configuration and for eventually look at the data online.
- Page 4 Used to connect the ACC2 Open to the PC and power the sensors. This cable is necessary when you need to check the channels values on the PC through the OnLine feature or you need to calibrate the sensor. Used for connecting the ACC2 Open to the PC for the configuration.
- Page 5 “New” button on the top right keyboard (1) • select ACC2 Open (2) • name the configuration if desired (default name is ACC2 Open – 4) • press “OK” (5). You need to configure ACC2 Open channels and the CAN messages.
- Page 6 First of all, you need to set the number of thermocouples you will connect; of course, you need the proper harness. ACC2 Open supports up to four K type thermocouples. Once the number of thermocouple(s) to be connected is fixed the software warns you and the corresponding channel(s) switches to “Temperature”.
- Page 7 In the similar way you have to configure the remaining channels: click on the channel to set and a setting panel is prompted; a lot of possible function can be set according to the kind of sensor you connect to ACC2 Open.
- Page 8 “Set CAN Payload Details” panel is prompted: click the button corresponding to “Channel” and select the channel to set in “Select Channel” panel (4) • set all other parameters in “Set CAN Payload Details” panel according to device ACC2 Open is communicates with (5) • repeat the operation for all channels •...
- Page 9 3.3 – Configuring ACC2 Open CAN Output as CAN AiM As said ACC2 Open can also use AiM CAN Bus. In this case there is no CAN output to set and it works as ACC2. 3.4 – OnLine After having configured your ACC2 Open, you can verify the channels values selecting the OnLine feature.
- Page 10 3.5 – Calibration Some sensors, the potentiometers, for example, require a calibration, in order to set the “0” value. In this case, this procedure can be executed through our software RaceStudio 3, after having opened the here down view.locvfr...
