M1 and PDM CAN Communications

[Stephen Dean]

As this topic comes up regularly I have created this post and made it a sticky.

This document and the worked PDM configuration step through the process of setting up the PDM communications templates, and explain how to use the M1 PDM Resource allocations.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for sharing! I'm trying to achieve the same with a PDM32 and M800. Can you share some documents describing this?

I'm lost in the area of CAN address/function relationships...

The M800 doesn't have a specific PDM CAN transmit so you need to use the custom datasets. With the custom datasets you can essentially send anything you like.

I have attached an example of what you could do, if you setup a custom dataset with the channels in the exact order of the below image then it will work with the attached PDM config.

You need to transmit the Custom dataset sequentially (CAN 0 Data set to 8) and the address needs to be 0x118 so set CAN 0 Address to 280.

Thanks a lot Adrian! I will go and test this asap.

Hi Adrian,

I got this custom-data-set to work but notice I can only enter four channels. The other issue I seem to have is the combination with my SDL3-dash which occupies CAN0. I used CAN1 for custom-data-set 2 but would like to use more channels to send to the PDM. As fas asI know I cannot move the SDL to another CAN. Am I stuck now or are there other assignment options?

TIA
