CAN outputs issue:
when I set the last output to be larger than 8 bits, it becomes impossible to revert (permanently greyed out). Deleting the CAN message does not reset it either.
If the configuration has already been saved with this mistake, is there any way to reset a CAN message similar to the non-pro version?
Thanks
I have a PDM25 V2 and I am passing my inputs from my Holley Terminator X to the PDM. I have the "canned" functions of the Terminator X working good, but none of my user configurable inputs seem to be working. Does anyone have any advice? Just in case it matters my car does have a Pro Dash and an IO module as well.
It sounds like you’ve got the core functions working well, so the communication between the Terminator X and the PDM25 V2 should be fine. The issue with the user-configurable inputs is often related to mapping or setup parameters.
has anyone tried to send an encoder signal to a pdm? I am not for sure if the PDM can even read the square wave signals produced by an encoder. i know i could send an encoder signal to a arduino and then through a dac to create a 0-5v signal or to a arduino and a can transceiver to create a can signal and then take either or input and control a dc motor to move to set location. but was curious if anyone had any insight on whether or not you could send the raw encoder square wave signal to the pdm directly and decode the position.
It could be possible, but please could you send a trace of the signals for the encoder?
We have successfully configured the CAN link to receive data from the FT700 (CAN Input), but we now need to configure the PDM to transmit its data (CAN Output) to the FT700 to create a centralized log on the ECU.
Which PDM CAN Output setting (e.g., predefined stream, generic stream, or DBC export) should be used, and what is the specific CAN ID and message structure we must configure in the PDM to be compatible with the FuelTech FT700's input format?
Our goal is to stream critical PDM data (such as Output_X_Status and Output_X_Current) so that the FT700 can capture them in its own datalog.
Great question — you already have the CAN input side working, so you’re definitely on the right track.For sending PDM data to the FT700, the correct CAN Output method usually depends on what format the FT700 can accept (predefined stream, generic stream, or a DBC-defined structure). FuelTech generally prefers a defined CAN template or a DBC layout to map signals correctly.
If you can share the FT700’s CAN receive specifications (or its DBC/ID requirements), we can help you determine the correct CAN ID, message layout, and which PDM CAN Output option will work best for your setup. Happy to assist.
Thank you for pointing this out. We will apply a fix in the next update.
In the meantime, you can manually fix the config file if you need to. Open the file and copy the text into a json viewer, then you can change that part of the configuration.
