APPENDIx b – SETUP AND
TUNINg WITH DATALINk
B.1 Using Datalink
The Optimus 360 uses the same Datalink dealer setup program as
the standard Optimus EPS system. However, in order to communicate
with the vessel command components the computer must be connected
to the system via the CAN2 network rather than the CAN1 connection
outlined in the Optimus EPS manual. The CAN2 programming cable
(P/N CM21106) is provided in the Optimus dealer kit.
Always make sure the latest version of Datalink is installed and in
use. Check www.optimusdealers.com for latest program revision.
procedure
1. Connect the notebook computer to an unused CAN2 network
port using the CAN2 programming harness as shown in figure
4-1. If necessary an additional tee may be installed but must be
removed or capped after use. If the spare tee is left in the
system, there must still be one (and only one) terminator at
each end of the CAN2 bus.
2. Turn on the notebook computer and open the Datalink program
located on the desktop.
3. Once Datalink opens, the Interfaces section of the workspace
should become populated with components connected to the
network. If not, double click on Optimus CAN2 in the protocols
section. The components should turn green as communication
is established See figure 5-2 to familiarize yourself with the
Datalink workspace.
4. Double-clicking on any of the components will enter the
configuration pages for that particular component.
5. Before proceeding with setup, verify that the firmware revisions
are up to date for each of the components. Refer to Appendix E
of the Optimus EPS Installation Manual (Book 50) for instructions
on checking and updating firmware revisions.
