FMB150 AutoScan feature

Starting from firmware version 04.01.00.Rev.xx the Autoscan feature for FMB150 devices enables automatic identification of vehicle CAN parameters without requiring manual vehicle selection or a FotaWEB account. The system works by collecting CAN data from the vehicle, sending it to FotaWEB for processing, and automatically receiving the appropriate CAN OEM file.

This option allows even read CAN data from unsupported vehicles!

Steps required to start using AutoScan feature

1) Make sure device is using 04.01.00.Rev.xx firmware version or newer.
2) CAN Chip version is 00_02.03.00 or newer.
3) Device have active GPRS connection.
4) Device is able to connect to FotaWEB.

AutoScan feature flow

1) Take FMB150 device vehicle connection scheme and connect FMB150 device CAN lines as indicated.
2) Configure correct ignition source in device configuration.
3) When device power ups and vehicle ignition is on, AutoScan feature will start working automatically.
4) When CAN line communication will be collected, this information is sent to FotaWEB.
5) In FotaWEB, in Tasks section automatically will appear task called "Received autoscan CAN file".
6) When data is analysed, second task will appeared called "Upload autoscan CAN OEM file".
7) When both tasks are successfully completed, FMB150 device will have CAN OEM file uploaded and vehicle CAN parameters will be read.

Note: after uploading CAN OEM file, CAN IO parameters are not enabled automatically. Manual enabling of required parameters is required.

AutoScan feature with unsupported vehicles

In case you have a vehicle, which is not included in FMB150 supported vehicle list, AutoScan feature can be used to find best match from our already supported vehicle library. For CAN line connection you can follow from similar vehicle model that we support already, by connecting to OBD port CAN lines or by connecting other twisted CAN line pair from the vehicle wire loom.

Note: by connecting unsupported vehicle, AutoScan feature will not guarantee that all expected CAN parameters will be read or provide correct value.

AutoScan feature manual initiation

In case device have already uploaded CAN OEM file or previous AutoScan process have failed, command runautoscan can be used to remove current CAN OEM file from FMB150 device and start AutoScan feature again.

How long AutoScan feature takes?

When everything is connected by connection scheme, vehicle ignition is on and device have good GPRS connection, the whole process will take up to 2 minutes.

Can AutoScan feature be used with ECAN02?

Yes, AutoScan feature will work even by using ECAN02 in installations, where direct CAN wire connection cannot be done.
As with Manual CAN OEM upload, parameters requiring direct wire connection will be not received. Such parameters are marked in our FMB150 supported vehicle list.
