Introduction
ML71BS6 A00851_03_E00_02 HBM: public 7
3 Introduction
The ML71BS6 is an MGCplus system module that takes measurement data
from the MGC and outputs it as CAN messages. It records up to 128
measured values per CAN port, scales them and outputs them at the CAN bus.
Two independent CAN interfaces per channel and two different physical layers
(ISO 11898-24V and a ”low‐speed” link based on the Philips TJA1053
transceiver module) are supported.
The measurement data to be transmitted can be selected either by using the
AB22A/AB32 display and control panel or by using the “MGCplus Assistant”
software from HBM.

Connections

4 Connections
4.1 Pin assignment
The CAN bus is connected to the AP71 connection board by a 9‐pin Sub‐D
connector. You can connect two independent CAN field bus systems (female
connectors CAN1 and CAN2). Both the CAN interfaces are used to output the
MGCplus measurement data. Each of the interfaces can be assigned up to 128
measured values.

6 Parameterization
6.1 Settings CAN1 /CAN2
The baud rate, the transmission formats, the number of signals and the output
rate of the 1st CAN bus are set here. The same menu is applied
correspondingly to the 2nd CAN bus.
The maximum number of signals for a bus is 128 signals.
The following output rates are offered for selection depending on the number of
output signals. In the case of the 2nd CAN port, please note that the maximum
possible output rates can only be achieved if no signals have been selected at
CAN port1.
If a selected rate cannot be achieved, the messages will be output as quickly
as possible and an error message will be generated. Transmission will then not
be at a fixed frequency.

CAN protocol
16 A00851_03_E00_02 HBM: public ML71BS6
8 CAN protocol
Up to 128 measured values can be transmitted at each bus.
A number of signals is assigned to each bus. This determines the signal trans
mission rate at the particular CAN port (in the case of CAN port 2, the operat
ing mode of CAN port 1 is also a factor).
8.1 Measurement signal transmission
The operating priority for the two CAN ports is different. CAN port 1 always
takes priority, to ensure that the transmission pattern of the data sent from
here is exactly periodic. When sending a synch signal, the values sent thus far
are valid here. CAN port 2 has the lower priority. Measurement signals can be
transmitted in the following three formats.
8.1.1 Absolute values in Float
In each 8-byte CAN message, 2 signals are transmitted as Float values
(32-bit). This is dealing with scaled measured values.
8.1.2 In digits as Long
In each CAN message, 2 of these values are transmitted as Long (32‐bit), with
the MSByte1) always being 0. Digital value scaling can be preset by using two
point calibrations.
8.1.3 In digits as Word
In each CAN message, 4 of these values are transmitted as Words (16‐bit).
Digital value scaling can be preset by using two point calibrations.

CAN protocol
ML71BS6 A00851_03_E00_02 HBM: public 17
8.1.4 Identifier assignment
Default assignment
The possible formats are sent out for the same signal under different
identifiers, so that fixed scaling can be assigned in the receiver of a specific ID.
The synch message at CAN port 1 has the identifier 80h2) and does not
contain any data bytes.
