Page 18: Filter Messages
7. Filter Messages The CANlink wireless 4000 is equipped with eight hardware CAN filters, which can be configured to block certain received CAN IDs from reaching the processor and being transmitted wirelessly. Blocking certain CAN IDs reduces the number of received CAN messages per second, typically for the purpose of reducing the necessary bandwidth (especially for MultiPoint and MultiTalking networks where the Server traffic can be considerable). -
Page 19: Sleep Timeout
8.2. Sleep timeout Object 0x3333:0x08 [Time in seconds to sleep mode] is used to set the sleep timeout period. This is volatile (reset every boot), and must be set by an external controller every time the device should sleep. Essentially, this value tells the device “Go to sleep (x) seconds after receiving the last CAN message when the ignition is off”. -
Page 20: Ignition Timeout
8.3. Ignition timeout Object 0x3333:0x32 [PMM Shutdown Delay Time] is used to set the ignition timeout period. The device waits for a period of time after the ignition has been turned off (CLAMP15 turns low). This timer is restarted with every CAN message, and every change to CLAMP15. - Page 21 ENABLE 1. Set 0x3333:0x32 [PMM Shutdown Delay Time] to the desired timeout in seconds. 2. Set 0x3333:0x37 [PMM Wakeup enable flags] to 0x80.
