CAN bus smartCORE socket module

Description

The canbus module provides the CAN bus hardware interface via Fast Message Dispatcher.

Here

• on the one hand read CAN bus messages are dispatched
• on the other hand a write mechanism is provided

In principle, the module can be operated with any Fast Message Receiver. In the context of CAN bus, these are useful

• the (generic) Fast Message Producer ("fmproducer")
• the DBC Receiver Module ("dbc")

Interfaces & protocols used

• CAN bus
• Fast Message Dispatching

JSON configuration

The following section describes the entire JSON configuration of the module and explains the individual parameters.

Example configuration (minimum)

    {
      "module": "CANBus1",
      "factory": "canbus",
      "config":{
        "interface":1
      }
    }

Example configuration (maximum)

    {
      "module": "CANBus1",
      "factory": "canbus",
      "config":{
        "fmd": "CANBus1",
        "priority":80,
        "writeBufferSize":1024,
        "interface":1,
        "bitrate":500000,
        "listenOnly":false,
        "maxBurstDurationUs":0,
        "dispatchCanIdAsDataPrefix":false
      }
    }

Parameter list

parameter name	required	data type	meaningful value range	default	description
fmd	No	STRING		Name of the module instance	Fast Message Dispatcher Name
priority	No	INT	1 - 99	80	Scheduling priority of the CAN bus interface
writeBufferSize	No	INT	1 -	8192	Max. Max. number of frames in the write buffer
interface	YES	INT or STRING	1 -	N/A	Index or name of the CAN bus interface (see smartDEVICE documentation)
bitrate	No	INT	1 -	500000	Bitrate of the CAN bus interface
listenOnly	No	BOOL	false, true	false	Listen-only flag of the CAN bus interface
maxBurstDurationUs	No	INT	0 -	0	Max Burst Duration [us] of the CAN bus interface
dispatchCanIdAsDataPrefix	No	BOOL	false, true	false	Write the 32-bit CAN ID in little endian representation before the forwarded CAN bus data frame. This is useful for CAN ID-independent fast message receivers, such as CAN RAW and debugging.
