CAN I/O Support

IntroductionxPC Target offers support to connect a target PC to a CAN network using the CAN driver blocks provided by the xPC Target I/O block library. This support is for I/O device drivers for the CAN-AC2-ISA and CAN-AC2-PCI boards from Softing GmbH (Germany).
Model Execution Driven by CAN Messages (Interrupt Capability of CAN Receive Blocks)In certain applications, the model (target application) execution is driven by the pace of an incoming CAN message.
Defining Initialization and Termination CAN MessagesThe CAN Setup driver blocks for all supported CAN boards allow the definition of CAN messages to be sent out during initialization and termination of the target application.
CAN-AC2 and CANopen DevicesxPC Target CAN-AC2 supports CAN specification 2.0a and 2.0b but this does not generally include the CANopen protocol on driver level. Nevertheless it is possible to access CANopen devices by the CAN-AC2 drivers in a general way.
Constructing and Extracting CAN Data FramesCAN data frames have a maximum size of 8 bytes (64 bits). For the CAN driver blocks found in the xPC Target I/O block library, Simulink signals of data type double are used to propagate data frames as an entity.
Detecting Time-Outs When Receiving CAN MessagesThe Receive driver blocks for all CAN boards allow you to output the timestamp at which the latest corresponding CAN message has been received.
