1. mVEC Introduction Section

The multiplexed Vehicle Electrical Center (mVEC), shown in Figure 1, is an enhanced version of the Bussmann

Vehicle Electrical Center (VEC) as it has a Controller Area Network (CAN) interface. The mVEC has VEC-like features (accepts plug-in components common to power distribution such as fuses, relays, circuit breakers, diodes, etc.) and is IP66 compliant. The mVEC incorporates the VEC ‘power grid’, an electrical component grid for power distribution functions, and the grid is electronically interfaced with a CAN control board that monitors the state of components and controls relays that are plugged into the grid of the mVEC.

Figure 1. Multiplexed Vehicle Electrical Center

The mVEC is a power distribution slave module that distributes power to other devices in a vehicle, and communicates over a CAN bus. Because it is a slave module, the mVEC relies on a master CAN module to control its relays and monitor component status messages.

The mVEC is ideal for applications across numerous markets, including heavy truck, construction, agriculture, military, transit bus/coach, marine, recreational vehicle, and specialty vehicle applications. The mVEC is an excellent solution for power distribution systems that require the ability to control relays and monitor fuses and relays; and a cost effective replacement for complex, fully electronic (solid state) power distribution modules.

The mVEC’s grid can be populated with industry standard plug-in components which use “280 series” terminals, including relays, fuses, circuit breakers, diodes, transorbs, resistors, and flasher modules. These components can be configured in many different ways to meet your system requirements.

The mVEC can be connected to 12 V or 24 V systems, or to vehicles with both voltages. The mVEC is based off the

Bussmann VEC technology and it is possible to customize the mVEC (create a new variant) so that it is capable of functioning with varying electrical architectures. The mVEC can be enabled (turned-on) by battery voltage through an active-high ignition input or by ground through an active-low ignition input.

The mVEC’s CAN control board is protected against over-voltage transients and reverse-voltage conditions and its relay coil drivers are protected from short-circuits.

4

The mVEC communicates with other devices on the vehicle’s CAN bus using the SAE J1939 protocol, and can be part of a multiplexing system that eliminates the need for individual connections between switches and loads. The mVEC works by receiving messages to turn its relays “on” and “off”, and by sending messages indicating the state of its grid components.

Figure 2 shows how an mVEC can be integrated into a vehicle.

Figure 2. mVEC Integration Diagram

2. Quick Start Section

2.1. Working with the mVEC

The mVEC is a power distribution slave module that distributes power to other modules in a vehicle over a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. Because it is a slave module, the mVEC relies on other modules to monitor and control its components and software.

5

2.1.1. mVEC Electrical Grid

The mVEC features the VEC ‘power grid’ (shown in Figure 3) internal to the unit. This VEC grid provides the electrical circuit to various components with 64 connection points, which can be utilized within the design.

Figure 3: mVEC Grid Area

2.1.2. mVEC Components

The mVEC electrical grid can be populated with components that have 2.8 mm blades on 8.1 mm centerlines (280-series components). mVEC components are used for controlling and/or fusing highcurrent loads on a vehicle, like relays and fuses. The mVEC components can be configured per the customer’s requirements.

These various types of components can be placed on the mVEC electrical grid, including (but not limited to) relays, fuses, circuit breakers, diodes, transorbs, resistors, and flasher modules. The mVEC can only control and monitor relays; fuses and circuit breakers (type I & III) can only be monitored. Because of this, most of the manual is dedicated to using fuses and relays. Relays that are not controlled via the internal CAN board cannot be monitored as normal since the relay control signals are unknown.

2.1.2.1. Relays

The mVEC can be populated with 4-terminal and 5-terminal relays that can switch power to loads.

These relays can be controlled via CAN commands, which signal the internal driver to energize the relay coils by pulling one side of the coil low. (See Grid Coil Current Limit in Section 8). The mVEC has the ability to control and monitor relays.

• For information on how the mVEC controls relays, refer to section 7.1.9. Controlling Relays

• For information on how the mVEC monitors relays, refer to section 7.2. Monitoring Fuse, Relay,

and System Fault Status.

6

2.1.2.2. Circuit Protection – Fuses & Circuit Breakers

Fuses and Circuit Breakers limit excessive current going to loads. The mVEC determines the state of each fuse / breaker by monitoring the fuse voltage through two internal digital inputs.

The mVEC has the ability to monitor fuses / breakers (it cannot control them). Note Type II circuit breakers may not show open status due to the internal resistive component and should not be used in the mVEC.

• For information on how the mVEC monitors fuses / breakers, refer to section 7.2. Monitoring

Fuse, Relay, and System Fault Status.

2.1.3. mVEC Software

The mVEC is a slave module, meaning it is controlled by a master CAN module over a Controller Area

Network (CAN), using CAN messaging.

OEMs / Integrators / operators are not able to create custom software for the mVEC. However, you can change some of the mVEC’s software settings.

• For information on changing software settings, refer to section 7.1. CAN Software Settings.

• For information on how the mVEC controls and monitors components, refer to section 7, Programming the mVEC.

3. Configuring the mVEC Options

There are many elements of the mVEC that can be configured. Configuration options for the mVEC fall into two major categories, as follows:

• Hardware configuration options. All hardware configuration options must be selected early in the design process and implemented before production.

• Software configuration options. Most software configuration options do not need to be selected until production, and can be modified after production if needed.

Contact your Cooper Bussmann Account Representative for more details about creating a custom configuration for your product.

3.1. Hardware Options

3.1.1. mVEC Electrical Grid Configuration Options

The mVEC’s electrical grid has 64 connection points that are used for connecting components to the grid.

The components you choose for the grid determine the hardware configuration of your mVEC. Once your configuration is created, you will receive a custom overlay for the grid that has cutouts for each component you selected. See Figure 4.

3.1.6. Cover Options

Additional marking is available on the mVEC cover. Custom laser etching may be made either on the mVEC interior of the cover (underside) or on the exterior (outside) or both.

3.1.7. Fuse Puller and Spare Fuse Options

A fuse puller and up to 4 spare fuses can be included with your mVEC. If included, these items would be stored on the electrical grid as shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6. Spare Fuse and Puller Locations

3.2. Software options

The mVEC software configuration options are primarily in the area of base addressing, default states for relays, and population tables for components (whether to detect if they are present and to be monitored or ignored due to an empty plug in position). Some of the options must be configured at the factory before the mVEC is manufactured, and the rest can be configured by the user at anytime.

3.2.1. Fault Detection Options

The mVEC is capable of detecting various faults. However, some faults may need to go unreported, and would need to be disabled in the factory at an early stage of development. An example would be a fuse that is supplied power through a relay contact. When the relay contact is open the fuse will not have power, causing the mVEC to detect a non-powered fuse fault. It is assumed that fuses always have power; therefore, the non-powered fuse fault should be disabled for this particular fuse. mVEC fault detection capabilities are detailed in the software section of this manual. See section 7 for more information.

4.1.4. Ignition Connections

The mVEC offers two power-enable inputs pins within the CAN connector.

• One is active high, called IGNITION_HIGH

• One is active low, called IGNITION_LOW

The mVEC will remain powered on when either signal is active. Once deactivated, the mVEC will power off, delaying shortly if internal memory requires updating.

Note: Only one of the enable lines should to be used for normal operation. If both are enabled simultaneously, the mVEC will enter a recovery mode application (factory use only).

4.1.4.1. Active-Low Ignition Input Connection

The active-low ignition input (IGNITION_LOW) enables power to the mVEC when the voltage is

lower than ½ battery voltage on Pin 1.

A shut-down procedure is activated when the voltage on the active-low input is higher than ½

battery voltage on Pin 1, or when the input has an open circuit condition.

5.1.2.2. Mechanical Requirements

When selecting an mVEC mounting location, ensure the following mechanical requirements are respected:

• It is highly recommended that it be mounted in locations that are not routinely exposed to direct and routine water sprays. Wherever possible, the mVEC should be placed in covered, shielded, interior locations on a vehicle.

• The mVEC and its connectors are shielded from harsh impact, debris, etc, and is not designed for other mechanical purposes other than that of a power distribution module. It should not be placed where someone could step on it.

• Mount the mVEC harnesses with sufficient strain relief and adequate bend radius.

• The mVEC cover can be fully opened.

• The mVEC mounting location / orientation should facilitate easy servicing of the plug-in power distribution components (fuses, relays, etc.)

• Consider operator’s view of the mVEC labels when mounting unit.

• The mVEC should not be mounted upside-down. Best position is horizontal, but the mVEC is capable of being mounted up to a 90 degree angle from the horizontal.

5.1.3. Electrical Connections to the Vehicle

Depending on the design of the mVEC you plan to use, a number of vehicle-to-mVEC connections will be made that may include the following:

CAN harness address pin connections

Relay output connections

Fuse and breaker connections

External high-side output connections (optional)

The CAN cable is very susceptible to system noise, and therefore, the CAN Shield wire must be connected according to the following: a) Connect CAN Shield to the point of least electrical noise on the CAN bus. It is recommended to connect CAN Shield to the vehicle chassis. b) Use the lowest impedance connection possible. c) Connect CAN Shield as close to the center of the CAN bus as possible to multiple points, a ground-loop may occur.

CAN Connectors: Industry approved CAN connectors are manufactured by ITT, Canon, and

Deutsch, and come in either “T” or “Y” configuration.

CAN Harness: The CAN harness is the “main backbone” cable that is used to connect the CAN network. This cable cannot be longer than 40 meters, and must have a 120

Ω terminator resistor at each end. The 120

Ω terminator resistors eliminate CAN bus reflections and ensure proper idle-state voltage levels.

CAN Stubs: The CAN stubs cannot be longer than 1 meter, and each stub should vary in length to eliminate CAN bus reflections and ensure proper idle-state voltage levels.

Maximum Number of Modules in a System: The CAN bus can handle a maximum of 30 modules in a system at one time.

7. PROGRAMMING the mVEC (Using J1939 Messages to Set,

Control, and Monitor the mVEC)

7.1. CAN Software Settings

A number of mVEC software settings can be viewed and changed using J1939 Proprietary A messages

(refer to section 7.1.1. Proprietary A Messages).

The software settings that can be changed include the following:

• CAN Source Address

• Parameter Group Number (PGN) for Proprietary B messages

• Default Relay states

• CAN message count threshold and source address

Note: It is recommended that the mVEC be set-up in a stand-alone environment when working with software settings.

7.1.1. Proprietary A Messages

Proprietary A messages (PGN EF00) are used for viewing and changing various mVEC software settings.

These messages allow you to define which module in a system is going to receive the message.

• Proprietary A messages sent to the mVEC from external devices are called command

messages.

• Proprietary A messages sent from the mVEC in response to command messages are called

reply messages.

When the mVEC receives a Proprietary A command message, it responds with a Proprietary A reply message. The reply is sent to the CAN node that sent the command message.

The first data byte of a Proprietary A message is the message ID. For messages that have less than 8 bytes, the unused bytes can be filled in with 0x00 or 0xFF without interfering with mVEC performance.

The second data byte of a Proprietary A message may be used as a grid address if the message is grid specific. The parameter called grid address identifies a particular grid within the mVEC (for mVECs with more than one grid). An mVEC with one 8x8 grid would use 0x00 as its grid address.

For a summary of all Proprietary A messages, refer to section 7.3.1. Proprietary A Messages.

7.1.2. CAN Source Address

If multiple mVECs are being used in a vehicle, each must have a unique CAN source address so that other modules can identify which mVEC is sending and receiving messages.

The source address on an mVEC is determined with the following equation:

CAN Source Address = Source Address Base + Source Address Offset

If your system uses 8 mVECs or less, you can assign CAN source addresses using one of the following methods:

32

Method 1 - Give each mVEC in your vehicle a unique source address base by changing the source address base value in software, and leave the source address offset (harness address pins) the same for each. Refer to section 7.1.2.2. Changing the Source Address Base for more information.

Method 2 - Give each mVEC in your vehicle a unique source address offset by configuring the

CAN harness address pins in the CAN connector, and leave the source address base the same for each. Refer to section 7.1.2.3. Changing the Source Address Offset for more information.

If your system uses more than 8 mVECs, you can combine different source address bases with different source address offsets to create more than 8 unique CAN source addresses.

7.1.2.1. Viewing the Source Address Base and Source Address Offset

To view an mVEC’s source address base and source address offset about the message.

The mVEC responds with message ID 0x97, which displays the current values for the mVECs source address offset in byte 2.0 and source address base in byte 3.0. See

Message ID 0x97 (Reply).

7.1.2.2. Changing the Source Address Base

To set the source address base, set the desired source address base value in byte 1.0 of

message ID 0x90, and send the message to the mVEC. See Message ID 0x90 (Command).

The mVEC responds with message ID 0x01, which indicates if the change was a success or failure in byte 2.0. See

Message ID 0x01 (Reply)

.

Changes made to the source address base will not take effect until the ignition power to the mVEC is cycled. base value as is, then use 0xFF.

7.1.2.3. Changing the Source Address Offset

The mVEC’s source address offset is assigned by configuring the CAN harness address pins

(called ADDR_0, ADDR_1 and ADDR_2) in the mVEC’s CAN connector. Refer to section 5.1.6.

CAN Connection for more information about connecting and configuring the CAN harness address pins.

Up to 8 different source address offsets can be created using different combinations of CAN harness address pin states. There are two CAN harness address pin states: open and

PWR_REF.

• PWR_REF indicates the CAN harness address pin is connected to the PWR_REF pin on the

CAN connector.

• Open indicates the CAN harness address pin is open circuit (not connected).

Changes made to the source address offset when the mVEC is powered will not take effect until the ignition power to the mVEC is cycled.

33

The following table shows all the possible address pin states and the resulting offsets they produce:

7.1.3. Parameter Group Number (PGN) Base for Proprietary B Messages

The PGN Base identifies which type of Proprietary B message is being sent by the mVEC. The mVEC uses Proprietary B messages to send three types of information: fuse status, relay status, and error status.

It may be necessary to change the PGN Base for Proprietary B messages to avoid conflicts with

Proprietary B messages from other modules. The Proprietary B PGN has an upper byte and a lower byte.

• The upper byte of the PGN is always 0xFF

• The lower byte of the PGN is determined by adding the PGN base value and PGN offset value.

The PGN base value defaults to 0xA0 (160 DEC). To change the PGN you must change the PGN base value. The PGN base can be set to any value between 0x00 and 0xF1.

The PGN offset values are not configurable, and are set as follows:

• Fuse status offset – 0x00

• Relay status offset – 0x01

• Error status offset – 0x02

For example, if you are using the default PGN base value of 0xA0, the PGN values would be 0xFFA0

(fuse status), 0xFFA1 (relay status), and 0xFFA2 (error status).

7.1.3.1. Viewing the PGN Base Value

To view an mVEC’s PGN base value about the message.

The mVEC responds with message ID 0x97, which displays the current value for the PGN base in byte 7.0. See Message ID 0x97 (Reply).

34

7.1.3.2. Changing the PGN Base Value

To change the status PGN base value

Set the desired PGN base value in byte 2.0 of message ID 0x90, and send the message to the mVEC. See Message ID 0x90 (Command) for more details about the message.

The mVEC responds with message ID 0x01, which indicates if the change was a success or failure in byte 2.0. See

Message ID 0x01 (Reply)

. the source address base value as is, then use 0xFF.

7.1.4. Population Table

The hardware configuration of your mVEC defines which components belong on the mVEC’s electrical grid, and where each component must be connected. For the mVEC to work properly, all components configured to be connected to the electrical grid must actually be connected. of the mVEC’s electrical grid.

A population table (stored in Flash memory) indicates whether or not the components are actually connected to the electrical grid. If a component is not connected (but should be according to the population table), the mVEC will generate an error in the corresponding status message, indicating the component is missing (refer to section 7.2. Monitoring Fuse, Relay, and System Fault Status for more details about status messages).

To avoid errors from a missing component, you must send the mVEC a message telling it to stop controlling or monitoring the component, which is done through the population table using message

ID 0x94.

7.1.4.1. Viewing the Population Table

To view the population table about the message.

The mVEC responds with message ID 0x94, which diplays the current population values for each component: o

0 indicates the component is not controlled and monitored. o

1 indicates the component is controlled and monitored.

See Message ID 0x94 (Reply).

message ID 0x01, and displays a value of 0 (failure) in byte 2.0.

35

7.1.4.2. Changing the Population Table

To change the population table setting for a component

Set the desired population value(s) in the appropriate byte(s) of message ID 0x94, and send the message to the mVEC. See Message ID 0x94 (Command) for more details about the message.

• The following population values can be used: o

0 indicates the component is not populated and does not need to be controlled and monitored o

1 indicates the component is populated and must be controlled and monitored.

The mVEC responds with message ID 0x01, which indicates if the operation was a success or failure in byte 2.0. See

Message ID 0x01 (Reply)

.

Note: You cannot ‘populate’ a device that was not in the original factory configuration. You may only alter the population settings of factory-installed devices.

7.1.5. Default Relay States

The default relay states are the “safe” relay states the mVEC assumes when it powers-up, and when the

CAN message count threshold is breached. When the mVEC is shipped, all of the default relay states are set to “off” (0). The following sections show how to view and change the default relay states.

7.1.5.1. Viewing the Default Relay States

To view the default relay states of the mVEC

Send the message ID 0x96 to the mVEC. See Message ID 0x96 (Command) for more details about the message.

If the grid address is valid, the mVEC responds with message ID 0x96, which shows the default relay states in byte 4.0 to byte 5.4. See Message ID 0x96 (Reply).

If the grid address is invalid, the mVEC responds with message ID 0x01, and displays a value of 0 (failure) in byte 2.0. See

Message ID 0x01 (Reply)

.

7.1.5.2. Changing the Default Relay States

To change the default relay states

Set the desired default relay states in the appropriate bytes of message ID 0x95, and send the message to the mVEC. See Message ID 0x95 (Command) for more details about the message.

• The following default relay state values can be used: o

0 sets the default state to “off” o

1 sets the default state to “on”

The mVEC responds with the message message ID 0x01, which indicates if the operation was a success or failure in byte 2.0. See

Message ID 0x01 (Reply)

.

7.1.6. Start-up Delay Time

The start-up delay is the number of milliseconds the mVEC waits after start-up before receiving commands, or sending messages.

The start-up delay range is 0 milliseconds to 65,534 milliseconds (65.5 seconds), which is 0x0000 to 0xFFFE.

36

7.1.6.1. Viewing the Start-up Delay Time

To view the current start-up delay time

Send message ID 0x96 to the mVEC, see Message ID 0x96 (Command) for more details about the message.

If the grid address is valid, the mVEC responds with message ID 0x96, which shows the values for the start-up delay in bytes 6.0 and 7.0. See Message ID 0x96 (Reply).

If the grid address is invalid, the mVEC responds with message ID 0x01, and displays a value of 0 (failure) in byte 2.0. See

Message ID 0x01 (Reply)

.

7.1.6.2. Changing the Start-up Delay Time

To set the delay time

• Set the desired start-up delay time values in byte 1.0 and 2.0 of message ID 0x99, and send the message to the mVEC. See Message ID 0x99 (Command) for more details about the message.

The mVEC responds with message ID 0x01, which indicates success or failure in byte 2.0.

See

Message ID 0x01 (Reply)

.

7.1.7. CAN Message Count Threshold

The CAN message count threshold refers to the minimum number of messages that must be received by the mVEC every two seconds. If the mVEC does not receive enough messages over two seconds, it switches all relays to their default state. The relays will remain in the default state until the mVEC receives a message ID 0x80 or message ID 0x88 with different relay state information, or until ignition power is cycled (for more details on default relay states, see 7.4.2. Relay Status).

There are two ways you can use the CAN message count threshold:

• The same CAN message count threshold can be applied to all modules communicating with the mVEC by not setting a specific CAN timeout source address.

• A specific CAN message count threshold can be applied to one module communicating with the mVEC by using a specific CAN timeout source address. If this is used, the mVEC will only count messages from the indicated module.

7.1.7.1. Viewing the CAN Message Count Threshold

To view the CAN message count threshold

Send message ID 0x97 to the mVEC. See Message ID 0x97 (Command) for more details about the message.

The mVEC responds with message ID 0x97, which displays the values for the CAN message

count threshold in byte 4.0 (LSB) and byte 5.0 (MSB), and the CAN timeout source address in byte 6.0. See Message ID 0x97 (Reply).

37

7.1.7.2. Changing the CAN Message Count Threshold

To change the CAN message count threshold

Set the desired CAN message count threshold in byte 1.0 (LSB) and byte 2.0 (MSB), and

CAN timeout source address in byte 3.0 of message ID 0x98, and send the message to the mVEC, see Message ID 0x98 (Command) for more details about the message.

The following are things to consider when setting the CAN message count threshold:

• Setting the CAN message count threshold to a value of “0” will disable the CAN timeout feature. Any value other than “0” will be the actual CAN message count threshold.

• Setting the CAN timeout source address to 0xFF will apply the same CAN message count threshold to all modules communicating with the mVEC. If you only want the mVEC to count messages received from one module, you must provide the CAN timeout source address for that specific module.

The mVEC responds with message ID 0x01, which indicates success or failure in byte 2.0.

See

Message ID 0x01 (Reply)

.

7.1.8. Software Version Number

It may be necessary to indicate the software version number for your mVEC when corresponding with

Cooper Bussmann.

7.1.8.1. Viewing the Software Version Number

To determine the mVEC’s software version number

• Send the message message ID 0x12 to the mVEC. See Message ID 0x12 (Command) for more details about the message.

The mVEC responds with the message message ID 0x13. See Message ID 0x13 (Reply).

The values that are returned depend on the operating mode of the mVEC. The operating mode is indicated in byte 1.0 of message ID 0x13. o

If the operating mode is 0 (Run), the software version number will be shown in byte 2.0 and 3.0, and the bootloader version number will be shown in byte 4.0 and 5.0. o

Operating mode is 1 is reserved. o

If the operating mode is 2 (Test Mode), the software version number will be the same as that in mode 0 (Run).

7.1.9. Controlling Relays

The mVEC’s relays are controlled by CAN messages received from external devices that tell the mVEC to turn the relays “on” or “off”. The following sections describe how to view and change the state of a relay.

7.1.9.1. Viewing Relay States

To determine the state of the mVEC’s relays

Send message ID 0x96 to the mVEC. See Message ID 0x96 (Command) for more details about the message.

If the grid address is valid, the mVEC responds with message ID 0x96, which shows the state of the mVECs relays (and high-side drive, if installed) in bytes 2.0 to 3.4. See Message ID

0x96 (Reply).

38

If the grid address is invalid, the mVEC responds with message ID 0x01, and displays a value of 0 (failure) in byte 2.0. See

Message ID 0x01 (Reply)

.

7.1.9.2. Changing Relay States

There are two messages that can be used when changing the state of a relay, as follows:

Message ID 0x80 - does not provide a diagnostic reply message from the mVEC indicating if the message was a success or failure.

Message ID 0x88 – does provide a diagnostic reply message from the mVEC indicating if the message was a success or failure.

7.1.9.3. Changing Relay States Using Message ID 0x80

To change the state of a relay and not receive a diagnostic reply, set the desired relay states in the appropriate bytes of message ID 0x80, and send the message to the mVEC, see Message

ID 0x80 (Command) for more details about the message.

Each relay state value will have one of the bit settings described in Table 7 listed for message ID

0x80. See Message ID 0x80 (Command) for more details about the message.

If the message fails because it is too short, contains an invalid grid address, or is trying to control a relay that is not in a controlled and monitored component location, message ID 0x80 will be ignored.

7.1.9.4. Changing Relay States Using Message ID 0x88

To change the state of a relay and receive a diagnostic reply set the desired relay states in the appropriate bytes of message ID 0x88, and send the message to the mVEC, see Message ID

0x88 (Command) for more details about the messageEach relay state value will have one of the bit settings described in Table 7 listed for message ID 0x80, see Message ID 0x80 (Command) for more details about the message.

The mVEC responds with message ID 0x01, which indicates success or failure in byte 2.0, see

Message ID 0x01 (Reply)

.

If the message fails because it is short, contains an invalid grid address, or is trying to control a relay that is not in a controlled and monitored location on the grid, message ID 0x01 will have additional bytes explaining the failure, as detailed in the description for Message ID 0x01

(Reply).

7.2. Monitoring Fuse, Relay, and System Fault States

Fuses, relays and errors are monitored by the mVEC, and the state of each is communicated periodically to other modules on the CAN bus using Proprietary B status messages.

7.2.1. Proprietary B Messages

All Proprietary B messages start at PGN FF00. These messages do not allow you to define which module receives the message; they are broadcast to all modules on the CAN bus at the same time.

The mVEC uses Proprietary B messages to communicate three types of information: fuse status, relay

status, and error status. These messages are sent by the mVEC once every 1000 ms, or every time the status of a relay or fuse is changed (up to once every 25 ms).

39

specific J1939 request from another module to obtain error information (they are not sent once every

1000 ms). Once an error is detected, the error message is sent once every 1000 ms until it is corrected.

Each type of Proprietary B message is identified by a Parameter Group Number (PGN) that may need to be changed to avoid message conflicts with other modules. Refer to section 7.3.2. Proprietary B

Messages for more information on changing the PGN Base for Proprietary B messages.

7.2.2. Fuse Status Messages

The mVEC automatically sends Proprietary B message 0xFF00 + PGN base (defaults to 0xFFAO) indicating the fault state of its fuses once every 1000 ms, or every time the state of a fuse is changed (up to once every 25 ms). Refer to section 7.3.2.1. Fuse Status for more details about this message.

The state of each fuse on the mVEC is represented by a two-bit value. See Table 25.

downstream from a relay from generating error messages when the relay is “off” (because they are not receiving power). Disabling the “Not Powered” fuse fault must be done during production at the factory, and cannot be implemented once the product is shipped.

7.2.3. Relay Status Messages

The mVEC automatically sends Proprietary B message 0xFF01 + PGN base (defaults to 0xFFA1) indicating the fault state of its relays once every 1000 ms, or every time the state of a relay is changed

(no more than once every 25 ms). Refer to section 7.3.2.2. Relay Status for more information about this message.

The state of each relay on the mVEC is represented by a four-bit value. See Table 27.

Some of the faults shown in the table can be disabled at the factory during production. These cannot be disabled after your mVEC is shipped.

detected will be reported by the mVEC. coil driver “off” to protect the circuit and reports the “coil shorted” error. The relay will remain “off” until the mVEC receives a command to turn it “off” and then back “on”.

7.2.4. System Error Status Messages

System error messages are Proprietary B messages; however, they are not sent by the mVEC on a regular basis like other Proprietary B messages. Instead, they are sent every time a system error occurs, or when there is a specific J1939 Request message from an external module to obtain System Error

Status information.

40

When a system error occurs, the message 0xFF02 + PGN base (defaults to 0xFFA2) is transmitted once every 1000 ms until either the power is cycled, or CAN communication is restored, see 7.3.2.3.

System Error Status for more details about the message.

7.3. CAN Message Definitions

The mVEC uses two kinds of messages when communicating with other modules:

The sections that follow show the settings and values for the various Proprietary A and Proprietary B messages.

• Settings enclosed by round brackets (xxx) are actual values.

• Settings enclosed by square brackets [xxx] are default values.

7.3.1. Proprietary A Messages

When the mVEC receives a Proprietary A message from an external device, it sends a reply message back to that device using a Proprietary A message.

• Messages sent from the external device to the mVEC are called command messages.

• Messages sent from the mVEC back to the external device are called reply messages.

7.3.1.1. Command Messages

Command messages are sent to the mVEC by external modules. The mVEC replies to every command message except message ID 0x80. All command messages have the following message format:

pgn61184 – Proprietary A

Transmission Repetition Rate: N/A, received message only

Data Length: As defined below, no more than 8 bytes

Parameter Group Number: 61184 ( 00EF00 16 )

The data bytes of each command message are formatted as described in the following sections.

7.3.1.1.1. Message ID 0x12 (Command)

Message ID 0x12 is used for viewing the mVEC’s software version number. The mVEC responds to this message with reply message ID 0x13.

The following table shows the format of the data bytes of message ID 0x12:

9. Troubleshooting

Problem

Everything is connected but there is no communication

The mVEC is communicating, but the relays will not turn

“on”.

Possible Causes

The mVEC is not powered

The relays do not have power.

• Verify the address lines are configured correctly.

Possible Solutions

IGNITION_HIGH

connected to power or

IGNITION_LOW

connected to ground?

The voltage on the address lines is not what it should be.

The CAN bus is marginal or not functional.

The mVEC software is configured differently than it should be.

The relay message is being rejected.

The destination address is incorrect.

• Use a PC-based CAN tool to verify that messages can be sent and received on the

CAN bus.

CAN_HI

&

CAN_LO

reversed?

CAN_HI

or

CAN_LO

shorted to ground or to

CAN_SHIELD

?

CAN_HI

or

CAN_LO

open?

• Is the CAN bus terminated properly?

• Is there “mVEC-like” communication from an unexpected source address and/or PGN?

These are configurable, and if they are not what you expect, the mVEC will be broadcasting on different source addresses and PGNs.

• Make sure the relay message is the version that requests a diagnostic response

(message 0x88).

• Check the codes returned by the mVEC against the responses listed in section

7.3.2.2.

• Check for lack of grid power connection, blown fuse, improperly seated relay, and improperly seated fuse.

• Make sure the relay message is the version that requests a diagnostic response

(message 0x88).

• Check the codes returned by the mVEC against the responses listed in section

7.3.2.2.

• Check message length, offset value, and whether the component location is populated with a relay.

• Confirm the destination address of the relay message matches the source address that is sending fuse and relay status messages.

62

Problem

The mVEC resets when the loads are turned “on”.

Possible Causes

You are trying to drive 24V relays from a

12V supply.

Insufficient transient response from the desktop power supply.

Power drop or ground lift at a high-current connection point.

Possible Solutions

• Make sure the power supply matches the relays. A 24V mVEC will communicate when powered by 12V, but the 24V relays will not engage.

• Desktop power supplies, even if they are rated for the current requested, can sag substantially when large loads are switched

“on”, a phenomenon that can be confirmed with an oscilloscope.

• Make sure the CAN connector power and ground are not tied to the high-current power and ground studs. When large loads are enabled, the voltage drop (or lift at the ground) could be significant.

10. FAQ

What does mVEC stand for?

Multiplexed Vehicle Electrical Center.

Will the mVEC still function if I remove components from its electrical grid?

You must change the population table setting for components that are removed from the grid; otherwise, the mVEC will report errors for the missing component. Refer to section 7.1.4.

Population Table for more details.

How does a system of modules identify which message is being sent by which mVEC?

Using a unique PGN base in combination with a unique CAN source address enables a system to identify which messages are being sent by which mVEC.

How is the source address of the mVEC changed?

Refer to section 7.1.2. CAN Source Address.

What is a grid address?

The grid address identifies the component grid. At present, there are no multiple-grid mVECs, so this is a reserved byte for future expansion. For mVECs with 1 grid, the grid address value should be set to 0.

Do I need to fuse power going to the mVEC power studs?

Though extra fusing is not required to protect the mVEC, heavy gauge wire that is not fused running through a vehicle is not a safe design practice.

Does the power going to the CAN connector have to be fused?

Yes; a 5 A fuse should be used.

What are the recommended mounting practices for the mVEC?

For recommended mounting practices see section 5.1.2 Mounting Location Selection.

Can the mVEC be pressure washed or immersed in water?

An unsealed mVEC should not be pressure washed or immersed in water.

A sealed mVEC can handle pressure washing, but cannot be immersed in water.

What is the maximum torque that can be applied to the studded power connector?

The maximum torque that can be applied to the power lugs is 18 ft./lbs.

Can the mVEC drive relays that aren’t actually on the mVEC’s electrical grid?

The mVEC can be configured with an external high-side output, so it is possible to drive a single external relay from an mVEC. Additionally the mVEC relays could be used to drive other highercurrent relays or solenoids.

What is the current capacity of the mVEC?

The maximum current capacity of the mVEC is 200 A, but that is dependent on the application, type of load, etc.

Can the relay outputs be pulse-width modulated (PWM’d)?

Relays are mechanical devices and cannot be PWM’d at the high frequencies possible with solid state outputs; however, low frequency applications such as turn signals can be run by the mVEC.

Can the external high-side output be used to control something other than a relay?

Yes, as long as the load does not exceed 500 mA.

64

What are the low-side outputs protected against?

Low-side outputs are protected against short-circuits and designed to withstand electrical transient pulse levels likely to be encountered on vehicles.

Can the grid connection inputs for fuses be used to monitor things other than fuses?

Yes, these inputs can be wired directly to output pins through the grid and can monitor active-high digital states (all inputs are tied to weak pull-down resistors). This is not the intended use of the mVEC, so care should be taken to ensure faults reported by the software will be interpreted correctly.

Does the mVEC need a master module on the CAN bus to control it, or can it control itself?

The mVEC is designed as a slave module, meaning it is controlled by master modules.

Can the mVEC be used as an H-bridge?

The mVEC can be used in an H-bridge configuration if two 5-pin relays are used.

Will the mVEC work on a 42 V electrical system?

No. The mVEC is designed for 12 V and 24 V systems. It is not intended for use on 42 V electrical systems.

How far can the mVEC be from the controller sending it commands?

The mVEC is designed to communicate on a J1939 compliant CAN bus. Refer to section 5.1.6.

CAN Connection for more details about connection limitations.

How many mVECs can be in a vehicle?

30 mVEC modules can be in the same system on the same vehicle.

Is black the only mVEC color?

Yes.

Should the mVEC be disconnected when welding it to a vehicle (if welding is necessary)?

Cooper Bussmann recommends that all electrical devices be disconnected during welding to avoid potential damage to them.

The mVEC should not be subjected to environmental conditions that exceed the mVEC’s design limitations.

CAN Low

One of the wires used in the shielded twisted-pair cable. It provides the negative signal that, when connected with CAN High, provides a complete CAN differential signal.

CAN message count threshold

The minimum number of messages that must be received by the mVEC every two seconds.

CAN Shield

A shielding that wraps around the CAN High and CAN Low “twisted pair,” which completes the shielded twisted-pair cable.

CAN source address

An address that identifies which mVEC on the CAN bus has sent a message.

command message

electrical grid

A grid with 64 connection points that is used as the interface for plugging components into the mVEC.

H-bridge

A combination of two half-bridge circuits. H-bridges are used to provide current flow in both directions on a load, which allows the direction of a load to be reversed.

load

A load is any item that draws current from the module, and is typically switched “on” and “off” with outputs.

Examples include but are not limited to bulbs, solenoids, motors, etc.

multiplexing

Simultaneously transmitting multiple messages over one communication channel in a local area network, which dramatically reduces the number of wires needed for switch and load connections.

mVEC

Multiplexed Vehicle Electrical Center.

open load

A fault state that occurs when a load that should be connected to an output becomes disconnected, which typically occurs because of a broken/worn wire in the wire harness or connector pin.

66

PGN

Proprietary B message

A range of J1939 CAN messages that are broadcast to all modules on the CAN bus at the same time.

PWM

Pulse Width Modulation. A type of square wave frequency signal where the ratio of “on” time vs. “off” time is determined by the duty cycle of the signal. The duty cycle refers to the percent of time the square wave is “on” vs. “off”. PWM signals are typically used to drive varying amounts of current to loads, or to transmit data.

reply message
