Haltech PD-16 CAN Protocol

Haltech PD-16 CAN Protocol


Multiplexing

We're sending and receiving a lot of data. We'll multiplex our CAN messages to consume as few CAN IDs as possible. If a message is multiplexed then the first byte will be a multiplex ID used to identify the payload. The Multiplex ID has two sections - the IO type section and the IO index section.
For example, the CAN packet for turning on the 8A output 3 and 25A output 4 will have the same CAN ID and the same payload, but the multiplex ID will indicate which output the packet corresponds to.

Protocol

ECU to PD16

High Priority / High Output Rate

Notes: The ECU and dash can send messages asynchronously whenever there are changes of the I/O. So for example the ECU will send out the message for controlling HBO 1 (CAN ID=base CAN ID, Mux Type=HBO, Mux Index=0) at the base rate of 50ms. So if no changes on the pin occur, that is what can be measured for that particular combination of CAN ID, Mux Type, and Mux Index. If the function that is controlling that pin updates at a faster rate, then you can expect to see a higher rate of CAN messages to control HBO 1. The PD16 will do the same with its inputs, if nothing changes on them they come out at the base rate. If they are changing more often then the frequency is increased.
