An electric motor addressing system and method for an agricultural implement receives, at an electronic control unit (ECU), an address claim request from each motor of a plurality of motors coupled to the ECU via a first bus. Each address claim request includes a requested bus address and a binary value corresponding to a pin connector setting associated with a harness connector of the respective motor. The system associates the binary value with a physical address for each motor without reference to the bus address and maps each bus address to the physical address.

The present disclosure relates to a control module circuit having a circuit communication input port, a circuit communication output port, a first controllable unit that has a first controller module, and a second controllable unit having a second controller module. The first controller module has a first communication input port connected with the circuit communication input port and a first communication output port. The second controller module has a second communication input port connected with the first communication output port and a second communication output port connected with the circuit communication output port. The first and second controllable units are adapted to be identified with a permanent identity by way of a transmittable data signal receivable at the communication input port and sequentially received by the first and second controllable units.

Systems and methods for providing network connectivity and remote monitoring, optimization, and control of pool/spa equipment are provided. “Internet-of-Things” (IoT) functionality is provided for pool and spa equipment in a flexible and cost-effective manner. Network connectivity and remote monitoring/control of pool and spa equipment is provided by various components such as a network communication and local control subsystem installed in pool/spa equipment, and other components.

Systems and methods are provided for enhancing diagnosis of control logic by automatically triggering latent or quiescent diagnostic logic in response to a CAN bus signal and without requiring a software update of the control logic. The diagnostic logic may be triggered to provide an increase in the frequency of CAN messages that are generated. The diagnostic logic may be further triggered to provide a generation of additional CAN messages reporting operation signals beyond those that are normally generated. The diagnostic logic may be further triggered to provide higher priority to selected CAN messages reporting operation signals. The diagnostic logic may be still further triggered to one or more of increase the frequency of selected CAN report messages, generate additional CAN messages reporting operation signals beyond those that are normally generated, and/or provide higher priority to selected CAN messages reporting operation signals, each without requiring a software update.

A multi-module fiber laser capable of monitoring abnormalities of optical modules in real time. In the multi-module fiber laser, the CAN bus is employed to directly obtain whether each of the slave control modules or the master control module is in normal working condition, so that the CAN bus is at the status level corresponding to whether all modules are in normal working state, namely, the CAN bus that is configured to transmit the light control signal issued by the master control module. The status level of the slave control module or the combiner module is also transmitted via the CAN bus, so that all the slave control modules can quickly put themselves in the corresponding working state according to the status level of the CAN bus.

Disclosed is a high-speed controller area network (CAN) communication system, which is compatible with a CAN communication system, using passband modulation. The system includes: a high-speed CAN controller configured to provide a standard CAN transmission bit stream and a high-speed CAN transmission bit stream; and a high-speed CAN transmitter configured to synthesize a passband CAN signal obtained by modulating the high-speed CAN transmission bit stream in a passband and a standard CAN signal based on the standard CAN transmission bit stream and to transmit it to a CAN bus.

A mobile CAN-Bus control system is provided, in which a CAN-Bus based machinery converts CAN control signals to a data stream based on a communication schema. At least a portion of the converted data stream includes an index lookup identifier, which, together with a locally stored index loop table, permits the receiving device to extract the control signal. The data stream, which is compatible with communication protocols such as Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi, is transmitted to a mobile controller, which in turn parses the data stream and translates it into useable data points based on a locally stored index lookup table. The mobile controller may upload the received data stream to a server for data storage and retrieval, and is capable of remotely accessing the CAN-Bus based system to modify system parameter values and bumping them to the CAN-Bus system to achieved desired operational state of the machinery.

An equipment monitoring system preferably includes an electronic control device, a controller area network bus wiring harness (CAN BUS) and a plurality of sensors. The electronic control device preferably includes a software program for receiving input from the plurality of sensors. The CAN BUS wiring harness provides an interface between the electronic control device and the plurality of sensors. The plurality of sensors include at least one oil temperature sensor, at least one fluid pressure sensor, at least one vibration sensor, at least one speed sensor, a moisture sensor vacuum sensor and an exhaust air temperature sensor. The software program monitors the plurality of sensors. If the operating limit of one of the plurality of sensors is exceeded, the electronic control device sets off some type of alarm. The electronic control device preferably wirelessly transmits the data received from the sensor to a remote device.
