Adding new CAN files

DSE5300 and DSE5500 series controllers utilise CAN files that are selected in the configuration
software to suit the connected electronic engine. Updates to the electronic engine support are
controlled by updates to the CAN files. For the DSE5300 series, these CAN files have the
Windows files extension .fec, DSE5500 series CAN files have the extension .fex.

Obtain the files

o The files are either obtained from Deep Sea Electronics Technical Support Department
(email support@deepseaplc.com) or you will have downloaded them from our website
(web www.deepseaplc.com)

Installing the files

o Close your DSE configuration software. The software must not be running when the new
files are installed.
o Copy the new CAN files to C:\Program files\Common Files\CAN files on your PC.
This is the default CAN file installation path and may be different on your PC depending
upon where you installed the configuration software to on your PC.
o If you have files in this location with names the same as the files you are installing, you
may want to consider backing up your old CAN files folder before you begin.

Using the files

o Start the DSE configuration software.
o Read configuration from controller.
o Ensure the correct CAN file is selected in your module configuration.
o Write configuration to controller.
o The new CAN file is now configured into the controller.
