Product Description
Parameterization Via PACTware DC and DTM
Parameterization via PACTware DC and DTM allows convenient and comprehensive parame-
terization of the sensor due to the graphical interface of the DTM. The DTM (Device Type Man-
ager, a kind of "device driver") displays the parameters clearly and graphically, by subject, in
menu items. Furthermore, the measured distances, status changes, and individual radar reflec-
tions are visualized. Analysis and observation functions allow you to record and evaluate your
situations.
As an FTD frame application, we recommend using "PACTware 5.0" software or higher as the
user interface. The PACTware software package includes the PACTware DC (DC Direct Con-
nect) version for quickly and easily establishing a connection between PACTware and the sen-
sor.
The latest available versions of the individual software components required, such as
PACTware 5.0 or higher, CAN-COM-DTM, and device DTM, can be found at www.pepperl-
fuchs.com, on the product page in the "Software" section.
As a convenient solution, we offer the "CAN Parameterization Tool," which contains PACTware,
PACTware DC, the device driver for the CAN/USB converter-SUBD9, and the DTM for J1939
communication. We recommend using this software package for easy commissioning and
parameterization of the sensor. The latest available versions of the individual software compo-
nents required, such as the "CAN Parameterization Tool" and the device DTM, can be found
online at www.pepperl-fuchs.com, on the product page for the MWC25M-L2M-B20 series.
Availability of a DBC file
A DBC file (database container) is available for integrating and parameterizing the radar sen-
sor.
The DBC data format is a CAN network description and enables the definition of attributes and
the assignment of these attributes to the elements of the network. A DBC file is an ASCII-based
translation file that is used to identify, scale, and define data transmitted within a controller area
network (CAN) frame. These files are the de facto standard for exchanging J1939 descriptions.
It helps to translate the raw data transferred in a CAN frame into meaningful values and infor-
mation.
