Detecting CANbus Nodes
The Viper Pro must be able to communicate with the CANbus system to make sure product is being applied
correctly. Viper Pro should automatically establish communication with the switch box node, product 1, 2, and 3
nodes, seed blockage node and drill node.

Viper Pro systems with Sectional Control Technology (SCT™) will also detect up to two SCT
nodes depending upon the number of bins in the air cart. Base systems will not have any SCT nodes on the
CANbus. Up to two additional product control nodes (Product 4 and 5 nodes) may be installed to control
optional products during seeding operations.
Note:
If the Viper Pro establishes communication with a node, it displays as ‘Found’ on the CAN
Initialization Results screen. Nodes not detected during startup will not be displayed on this
screen.
If a product node is not found by the Viper Pro field computer, troubleshoot the system to
determine why Viper cannot communicate with the node. See Chapter 13, Troubleshooting the
Viper Pro System, for more information about communication failures.
