Black Jaguar CAN Message Identifier Help

[craigboez]

Hello all

At work I've purchased a Black Jaguar to use for a non-FIRST application. It will control a motor running a small pump, and I need to control the speed of the motor to regulate pump flow output. This is an open loop application, so no feedback from any sensors.

I'm using a Parker IQAN module as my system controller, so the plan was to generate a message within IQAN and send it to the Jaguar. I was hoping that I'd be able to look through all the documentation and figure out how to format that message, but I'm having trouble doing so.

So far I've been able to determine this: It's a 32 bit message divided into 5 fields. Bits 31-29 are RSVD, 28-24 are Device Type, 23-16 are Manufacturer, 15-6 are API, and 5-0 are Device Number. I'm trying to figure out what values each field needs so that I can send messages to set the speed. These details seem to be hidden away in the various library files that FIRST provides, or at least sufficiently hidden so that I can't find them.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?
