1.4.1 GENERAL
• These instructions are for authorised persons according to the EMC and low-voltage directives.
The device must be installed, connected, and put into operation by a qualified electrician.
• It is not permissible to open the controller or to modify or repair the controller. Modification or
repairs to the wiring could result in dangerous malfunctions. Repairs to the controller must be
performed by DSE. Contact your original equipment supplier in the case of malfunction.
• When the device is unpowered, ensure that no connection pins are connected to a voltage
source. Thus, when the supply is switched off, the supply for the electronics, the power outputs
and the external sensor supply must be switched off together.
• The controller will heat up beyond normal ambient temperature during operation. To avoid danger
caused by elevated temperatures, protect against contact.
• The customer is responsible for performing risk analysis of the mobile working machine and
determining the possible safety related functions. The user is responsible for the safe function of
the application programs created. If necessary, they must additionally carry out an approval test
by corresponding supervisory and test organisations according to the national regulations.
• All connectors must be unplugged from the electronics during electrical welding and painting
operations.

Introduction
1.4.2 INSTALLATION NOTES
• Follow the instructions of the connector manufacturer, specifically with respect to preventing
water from entering the device. See Section entitled Cables, Connectors, Harnesses and Spare
Parts for details of DSE Part Numbers.
• To maintain IP67 rating where connectors have unused pins, ensure the use of a suitable
Blanking Insert. In the case of a completely unused connector, the plug must be inserted, fully
populated with Pin Blanking Inserts. See Section entitled Cables, Connectors, Harnesses and
Spare Parts for details.
• The case must be wired to vehicle ground to comply with EMC guidelines. Metallic screws must
be used to create an electrical connection to vehicle / machine ground.

OUTPUTS
consumption plus the current supplied to the outputs. Each Output supply pin is rated at Max
16 A.
2.5.1 OVER CURRENT PROTECTION
NOTE: For PWM Outputs, DSE recommend that Over Current Delay does not exceed 3
seconds for inrush to loads exceeding 10 A. Loads with greater than 10 A inrush for more than
3 seconds may require external relays and alternative power sources to be used.
Outputs are protected against overcurrent while providing an Over Current Delay to allow for inrush
into connected loads.
Over Current Delay begins when load current exceeds 110 % of the output current limit (2.2 A or 4.4
A depending upon output type and/or configuration).
Should the output current exceed this level for longer than the duration of the Over Current Delay, an
alarm is raised and the output de-energised.
Excess current draw results in the output self-protecting. This includes short circuit. The exact level at
which this occurs varies with temperature.

Specifications
2.5.2 OUTPUT TYPES
Outputs have different capabilities, categorised as one of four Output Types, detailed below.
NOTE: Output operation is slightly delayed when Output Diagnostics is enabled. Output diagnostics is performed at the change of state of the
output from Off to On or from On to Off and is not checked during steady state.
NOTE: In the table below, Qx refers to an output on Connector B (QB) or Connector C (QC). i.e., the capability of output QBxxx is the same as
the capability of QCxxx.

3.4.4 ANALOGUE SENSORS
This section details best practice and connections of Analogue Sensors.

Sensors are divided into two main categories: Active Sensors and Passive Sensors.
3.4.4.1 ACTIVE SENSORS
Active Sensors require a DC power source.
Where sensors require a 5 V or 10 V supply, and where the total current requirement of the sensors is
below 500 mA, the VREF Output is provided to supply the sensors. Should more current be required,
an external power source must be provided.
Where sensors require DC supply at the same level as the ECU positive supply, the sensor should be
supplied directly from the ECU positive supply, taking care to ensure that variations in the supply fall
within operational specifications of the sensor.
3.4.4.1.1 ACTIVE SENSORS REQUIRING EXTERNAL SUPPLY
NOTE: VREF supplies a maximum of 500 mA at either 5 V or 10 V (configurable).

Protection against excess load (including short to ground, VREF negative and ECU negative)
is provided internally though a suitably sized external fuse is recommended, placed as close
as possible to the DSEM240.
NOTE: In the diagrams below, connections to supply and other connections are omitted
for clarity.
NOTE: Where the sensor requires connection to the main ECU DC Supply, use ECU
Positive as the sensor supply.

3.4.4.2 PASSIVE SENSORS
Passive Sensors do not require an external supply to operate.
3.4.4.2.1 EARTH RETURN RESISTIVE SENSORS
NOTE: As the DSEM240 measures the sensor relative to the VREF negative PIN, it is
important to ensure that the VREF negative is soundly connected to the sensor body. The
sensor body is electrically connected to earth by the screw thread that secures it to the vehicle
chassis.
NOTE: In the diagram below, connections to supply and other connections are omitted for
clarity.

NOTE: The following section details use of the DSEM240 J1939 variant. It is not possible
to use the DSEM240 CANopen variant with J1939.
DSEM240 J1939 provides configuration and usage by the DSE_J1939 Proprietary Protocol library.
This affords fully featured programmatical access to the functions of the DSEM240, intended for
advanced CODESYS users.
A CANopen variant is also available.
While the library is documented within CODESYS, the following section details the most used
functions. For additional details of structs and enums, you are referred to the CODESYS online
documentation of the library.
FACTORY (DEFAULT) SETTINGS
NOTE: Changes to Communications Setting require a PowerCycle in order for them to

take effect. As a PowerCycle reloads the last saved device settings from memory, changes to
Communications Settings MUST be saved using the Function SaveSettings as described in the

SUMMARY OF CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION

DSEM240 must be configured before use in the finished application. This configuration may be
performed by a separate process and then ‘saved’ for future power-up of the device, or during the
start-up of the application.
Configuration includes setting the functions of the inputs and outputs and configuring transmission of
device and input/output status.
The following is a summary of the operations required to use the DSEM240 J1939 variant.
Subsequent subsections detail the library functions used.
• First Scan
o Initialise CAN port.
o Configure the Inputs and Outputs.
o Request the Cyclical transmission of DSEM240 measured input values
o Save Configuration of Inputs and Outputs and Cyclical transmissions to non-volatile
memory to give the option of skipping the configuration at subsequent power ups
(SaveSettings function).
• Subsequent Scans
o Get the values from the Cyclical transmission of DSEM240 measured values.
o Perform any one-off reads of DSEM240 measured values.
o Send the command to set the state of the DSEM240 outputs.
o Send KeepAlive messages to the DSEM240.
GROUPS
To minimise CAN bandwidth and collect similar information together, some information is handled in
Groups as detailed below. This allows (for example) all outputs to be controlled in one write operation
to the device, in one CAN message.
5.3.1 INPUT GROUPS
Each Input Group contains the states of up to twenty-four (24) inputs.

As the DSEM240 has a total of 20 inputs, all inputs are contained within one group.
Input Input Group Input Designation

IB001 to IB010 0 0 to 9
IC001 to IC010 0 10 to 19
5.3.2 OUTPUT GROUPS
Each Output Group contains the states of up to twenty-four (24) outputs.

As the DSEM240 has a total of 24 outputs, all outputs are contained within one group.
Input Output Group Output Designation

QB001 to QB012 0 0 to 11
QC001 to QC012 0 12 to 23

J1939
5.3.3 SUPPLY GROUPS
DSEM240 has two Supply Groups containing diagnostic information of the DC supplies.
Parameter Supply Group 0 Supply Group 1

eJ1939SupplyGroup Reference BATTERY_VREF_OUTPUT_1 OUTA
Supply1 Battery Supply Voltage Output Supply Current
Supply2 VREF Voltage N/A
Supply3 Output Supply Voltage N/A
5.3.3.1 EXAMPLE
First Request the information from the DSEM240. This only requires to be requested once, usually
within an initialisation function of the application.
// Request Supply Group 1 from the DSEM240 every 1000 ms

DSE_J1939.RequestSupplyGroup(
M240[0],
DSE_J1939.eJ1939SupplyGroup.BATTERY_VREF_OUTPUT1,
FALSE,

5.3.4 DSEM240 INITIALISATION
DSEM240 must be initialised before first use to configure (among others) the inputs and outputs,
scheduled reading of inputs and communications timeouts.
Once configured, the settings may be written to non-volatile memory to allow the device to be passed
to a third party ready set up with no requirement for further configuration. This is detailed in the
section entitled SaveSettings(FUN) elsewhere in this document.
5.3.4.1 INIT(FUN)
Each CAN port must be initialised before use. This is usually performed during the first program scan.

NOTE: This function is optional, providing a method to change CAN bitrate and
enable/disable the internal 120 Ω CAN termination resistor.
CAN networks must be terminated at each end of the CAN cable. The termination resistor is 120 Ω.
DSEM240 includes a switchable in-built termination resistor.

5.3.4.3 CONFIGURECOMMSTIMEOUT(FUN)
This function sets the KeepAlive timeout in the DSEM240. The host device must send KeepAlive
messages to the DSEM240 (using function DSE_J1939.KeepAlive). Should the DSEM240 not receive
a KeepAlive message for longer than the period of the Timeout, outputs are set to the state specified
during configuration (the CommsLossState) and a System Error is raised.

Timeout TIME How often the KeepAlive must be sent to the
DSEM240 before a Comms Failure alarm is
raised.

J1939
5.3.4.4 CONFIGURATION OF THE INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
Inputs and Outputs must be configured before use. This is usually performed during the first program
scan.
Due to the flexibility of the DSEM240, many configuration functions exist, documented within the
CODESYS library documentation. Some examples are given in the following section.
The tables below indicate the value used to refer to the individual input/output.

5.3.4.5 SAVESETTINGS(FUN)
SaveSettings instructs the DSEM240 to store all the current settings (since power up) to non-volatile
memory. This means that at subsequent power up, the DSEM240 does not require additional
initialisation.
One such use for this feature is to allow an OEM to configure an DSEM240 and send it to a user. The
user needs simply to be informed what each input and output is configured to do, and how to operate
them. Initialisation was previously made and does not require repeating.

5.3.5 OPERATION
Writing any command to the DSEM240 resets the device’s communications timer. Should no
commands be received by the DSEM240 for the duration of the CommsTimeout setting, the alarm is
raised.
5.3.5.1 KEEPALIVE(FUN)
Used to send a regular message to the DSEM240 to reset the communications timer. Typically, the
message is sent once every program scan though it is acceptable to send the message only if no
other commands are sent to the DSEM240 during the scan.

5.3.5.2 SETOUTPUTBULKSTATE(FUN)
Provides a single function to control the state of the digital outputs.

This message contains the states of a complete Output Group. Best practice is to send this command
only when an output changes state, sending the shorter KeepAlive message should no other write
commands be sent regularly to the device.

ERRORS
DSEM240 continually monitors the following subsystems for errors:
• Configured Inputs and Outputs

• Communications Link
• Input and Output supply voltages, voltage references and output supply current.
All alarms are ‘latching’ and are cleared using one of the following commands. After all alarms are
cleared, DSEM240 resumes normal operation.
Function Description

6.4.2.1 PDOS
NOTE: For details how to configure specific PDOs refer to the relevant section within this
document. For example, see section entitled Input Settings for details about setting the PDOs
for inputs.
PDOs (Process Data Objects) carry the data for the Inputs and Outputs. Typically, they are configured
to be transmitted upon regular cycles or when the data to be transmitted changes.
This is known as the Operational CANopen state.
6.4.2.1.1 RECEIVE PDOS (MASTER => SLAVE)
Received PDOs are received by the DSEM240 from the Master. Typically, the PDOs carry commands
to the DSEM240 to control the outputs and to reset errors.
The system designer selects how often the PDO is received by editing the title row of the PDO.
NOTE: PDOs as shown in the image below are included in the device by default. You may
prefer to remove unneeded PDOs (for example for unused Outputs) to prevent unnecessary
network traffic.

6.4.2.2 SDOS
NOTE: For details how to configure specific SDOs refer to the relevant section within this

NOTE: For details of the values used within SDOs see section entitled CANopen | Factory
(Default) Settings.
SDOs (Service Data Objects) are transmitted only at system start-up (Pre-Operational) and usually
considered as configuration of the DSEM240.
When outputs are set / reset by SDOs it must be considered that this may be overridden by a PDO
when the application starts.

6.4.2.3 INPUT SETTINGS
When adding or editing PDOs and SDOs the Value of those objects specify the setting of the inputs.
The following sections detail these values.
6.4.2.3.1 INPUT MODE
Input Mode is used to specify the type of output in SDO Index 16#2000.
It is a bit field, made up as follows:
Bit 7 Bit 6 Bit 5 Bit 4 Bit 3 Bit 2 Bit 1 Bit 0

Signal Conditioning Reference Mode Measurement Mode
When calculating the full value for Input Mode consider the following formula:
SignalConditioning<<6 + ReferenceMode<<4 + MeasurementMode
Where: <<Number means shift left by that number of bits.
For convenience, the following tables apply this ‘bit shifting’ in the column Value in Input Mode Byte.
Example
For a Digital Input with Pull-Down obtain the Value in Input Mode Byte from each of the following
tabled and add them together:
• Start with Signal Conditioning – Pull Down is 16#80

• We do not require Reference Mode (it’s applicable only to Ratiometric and Frequency inputs
so we can leave this at ‘zero’ for simplicity (add zero)
• Add the Measurement Mode – Digital is 16#1.
• The total is 16#80 + 16#1 = 16#81.

6.4.2.5.2 SAVE SETTINGS
To save the settings to non-volatile memory add the SDO 16#1010 along with the value
16#65766173.
Subindex allows selection of the items to save (All Parameters, Communication Parameters,
Application Parameters).
After this operation, should the DSEM240 be ‘power-cycled’, the settings are retained, even if the
SDOs are removed from the CANopen Manager. The Factory (Default) Settings are overwritten with
this process.
Value 16#65766173 to ‘save’.
This value (16#65766173) is ASCII code for the word ‘save’:

Troubleshooting
7 TROUBLESHOOTING
The below are suggestions answering frequently questions about the device.
Symptom Suggestion
Do I have the CANopen or J1939 variant? If the serial number label is still present and
readable, check the model number:
DSEM240-01 is J1939.
DSEM240-02 is CANopen
If the serial number label is not present or not
readable, the best option is to the connect the
DSEM240 to the PC using PCAN interface or
similar PC based CAN receiver. Use
BUSMASTER, PCANView or similar PC based
CAN viewing software set to receive at 250
kbit/s.
At device power up, CAN messages are
transmitted. Depending upon the type of
message ID, we can find the device type:
CANopen: The device transmits with 11-bit ID

(e.g., 0x730). The node address is the last 7
bytes of the message ID. In this example this is
48.
J1939: The device transmits messages with 29-
bit ID (i.e., 18FF0080). The last byte of the ID is
the device source address in hexadecimal (i.e.,
16#80 in this example).
The messages are the proprietary messages
FF80 (Firmware version), FF81 (HardwareID)
and FF82 (UniqueID).
Device is not responding to commands and/or Check all connections ensuring 120 Ω
not transmitting messages impedance, twisted pair CAN rated cable and
correct use of 120 Ω termination resistors where
needed.
Remove other CAN nodes during test to
eliminate issues potentially caused by other
nodes.
Test with a shorter CAN connection cable where
possible to eliminate issues that can be caused
with longer cables.
Check the correct variant type is connected (i.e.,
CANopen or J1939)
Check you are addressing the correct source
address.
Red flashing LED present on the device After checking connections and the module
variant in use check for any errors present on
the device by reading the PDOs (CANopen
variant) or reading the error states of the device
using the DSE_J1939 library (J1939 variant).
With J1939 variant, when not sending other
commands regularly to the device, be sure to
send KeepAlive messages. It is recommended
to set the timeout at 3 x KeepAlive rate.

Troubleshooting
Using DSE_J1939 Proprietary library, NO_ERROR is returned when messages were

NO_REPSONSE is returned from the Get received during the task cycle. You can use this
functions. response to know that a new message has been
received and then act upon the received data.
NO_RESPONSE is returned when no
messages of the requested type were seen on
the bus. There are a number of reasons for this
in normal operation:
1) Values are sent only after a request.
There are two types of request: Single
and cyclic.
2) If the bus is checked for the message
before the value is sent by DSEM240,
or in between cyclic transmission, then
NO_RESPONSE is received from the
function call. Keep checking until the
message is seen.
A customary practice is to employ a timer,
resetting the timer when a message is seen,
and timing out, raising an alarm if no messages
are seen. A suitable value for the timer is three
(3) times the cyclic transmission rate of the
message.
Inputs configured as Digital appear to flicker on Check the configuration for the Thresholds.
and off. These are configured in millivolts. Suggested
values are:
LowThreshold: 2000 mV
HighThreshold: 6000 mV.
The suggested values give a hysteresis (dead

band) of 4 V between On and Off.
Using values too close to each other can result
in a toggling of the input if the value is hovering
around the point of switching from On to Off.
