Displaying the bus diagnosis [1] [2]

For analysing faults or in conversation with ABUS Service, it can be helpful to see which bus devices were recognised in the bus network. A CAN bus network is in any case present on the crane. A Modbus network may additionally be present.

For this work step, access from a laptop or tablet computer to KranOS is necessary. The user "Abnahme" (commissioning) (user level ‚[2]) or "Service" (user level [1]) must be logged in.

●   The "Bus diagnosis" window appears.

●   CAN bus devices are displayed in the upper area and Modbus devices are displayed in the lower area.

●   All bus devices that were found in the bus network are displayed with a green background.

●   All bus devices that were not found in the bus network are displayed with a black background.

●   All bus devices which are not available on the current crane according to the customer-specific configuration appear with a grey background.

In principle, all technically feasible bus devices that could appear on a crane with ABUControl are displayed.
