I have a Quattro. It uses a source (network) address of 0xE1 and 0xE2. (I know that I can edit it if necessary)
Are all Quattros shipped set to those network addresses?
asked
Is the VE-CAN default network address fixed?
Hey, these are those addresses are dynamic.
Ie upon a conflict (two addresses that are the same at power-up/connection) one will automatically change itself.
As per the J1939 ACL procedure, ACL is short for address claim. To learn more, I recommend to google that.
Bu you can compare this to computer ip addresses in a LAN with a dhcp server, totally automatic, no need to worry about it, and most importantly: not to be relied upon for addressing.
Thanks. I'll rewrite the question more clearly.. . .
My Quattro has set itself to 0xE1 and 0xE2.
If I bought another Quattro for a different project that will not be connected in any way to the first Quattro, would it set itself to 0xE1 and 0xE2?
Hi,
Even though they seem quite static, those addresses are in reality dynamic. But stored on non-volatile memory so that unless the network changes (nodes added/removed) they'll be the same after a power cycle; and thus seem static.
That is all I can say about this I'm afraid.
