1 Description
1.1 Purpose
The Feedback Signal Converter AS is a part of the control loop of a steering control
system. It provides information about the current position of the rudder. This information
is required for follow-up steering, rudder angle indicators, steering failure sensors and
adaptive autopilots which are connected to a bus.
The Feedback Signal Converter AS contains a CAN bus module to convert analog
feedback voltages (actual rudder information) into CAN bus data format.

1.3.1.1 CAN Bus Technology
The bus is a multi-master bus allowing the connection of all devices and systems
regardless of their tasks and functions. This means that any number of devices can be
connected. These devices must be designed for CAN bus technology.

Feedback Signal Converter AS
1 Description
10000001298 6 Edition: 001
For the CAN bus it is essential that every CAN bus participant is addressable via a
unique address. This address is set within each CAN bus participant or via a component
(participant) which is able to look into the CAN bus architecture.
Note
The CAN bus address can be set with a special service tool by the service personnel only.
It cannot be changed without the service tool.
Each CAN bus participant can send and receive data via the CAN bus. For data
transmission the data is combined with a header (address from the data source), a
heartbeat and the data itself. The data is transmitted to the CAN bus cyclically. Each CAN
bus participant monitors the CAN bus to take off the relevant data.
The CAN bus must be terminated at both ends (within an application) via an ohmic resistor
(120 Ω). The terminating resistor is set by the jumpers at the respective connection, see
Fig. 3.
The termination has to be set between the termination terminals (T) and the CAN low
terminal (L).
Note
2 CAN bus layout options are possible in an application:
• Single CAN bus
• Dual CAN bus
The difference between a single CAN bus and a dual CAN bus application is a CAN bus
redundancy.
In most cases the single CAN bus is duplicated for redundancy, but this feature is for a
redundancy of the respective device not for the CAN bus itself.
