MTU MDEC CAN bus communication in easYgen-3500XT-P2

Authors list

Old legacy GCP-3x-Option Sc02 and SC10 controls supported MTU MDEC  CAN communication.

We offer a Software Licensing feature to flash  easYgen-3500XT-P2 (8440-2087 and  8440-2088) controls to enable 

MTU MDEC communication. MDEC Protocols V302,V303,V304 are supported.


License Option P/N 10-030-826 LEGACY CAN AND MDEC SUPPORT PACKAGE


Following ECU data are visualized :

The easYgen 3500XT-P2 receives following analog data from the MDEC via CAN2 : 

• 11.67 MDEC Coolant temperature [°C] 

 • 11.68 MDEC Oil pressure [bar] 

• 11.69 MDEC Oil temperature [°C] 

• 11.70 MDEC Fuel temperature [°C] 

• 11.71 MDEC Engine speed [rpm] 

 • 11.72 MDEC Operation hours [h] 

• 11.73 MDEC Error code 

• 11.74 MDEC Feedback speed [rpm] 

 The easYgen 3500XT-P2 receives the following binary data from the MDEC via CAN2 :

 • 05.24 MDEC  Yellow alarm

 • 05.25 MDEC Red alarm 

• 05.26 MDEC Alive timeout (True if MDEC Alive message is missing for more than • 1000 ms.)

easYgen-3500XT-P2 is supporting speed bias connected to MDEC based on

  •  CANbus, 
  • 0-5V ,
  •  0-10V,
  • 4-20mA, 
  • raise & lower pot free contacts

This  Software Package includes as well the  legacy CAN bus of old GCP-3x controls,

enabling easYgen-3500XT-P2 to talk to  obsolete Gateways like GW4-PRO or GW4- Modbus

 connected to upper PLC Controllers. 

Legacy CAN is  not supporting LS-4 communication and Loassharing  (Loadshare Gateway LSG required) !
