CAN Bus
A protocol framework that enables easy and clean implementation of CAN communication paths. Optimized for speed, flexibility and size,
and built with high portability in mind.
Features
Key Features
The μC/OS CAN module reduces development efforts to embed CAN. Developers need only an understanding of signals, messages and bus configurations. Different abstraction layers can be used independently.
The μC/OS CAN module can communicate via one or more CAN buses simultaneously. The bus management layer organizes the CAN buses and distributes messages to different device drivers. The device driver layer buffers the CAN messages to be sent and received. All hardware dependencies are capsulated in this layer. An embedded target can also have multiple, different CAN controllers.
A validation suite provides all documentation necessary to support the use of the μC/OS CAN module in safety-critical systems.
The features of the µC/OS CAN module include:
- Hardware independent
- Signal Scalability – Between 1 bit to 8 bytes
- Sufficiently robust to meet rigorous safety-critical system requirements
Integration with your Application
Application Signal Layer
This layer gives access to logical signals, located in one or more CAN messages. Changes in signals can be checked, and predefined actions executed.
Message Layer
The message layer organizes all information necessary for sending and receiving CAN messages. Identifier, data length code (DLC) and data (and linked signals) are bundled and dedicated to one or more buses.
Protocols
CANopen
The CANopen stack is a scalable solution for limited-resource embedded systems. The stack is delivered in ANSI-C source code and can be compiled with any ANSI-C compliant compiler. The stack is available as CANopen Slave along with a windows application for the automatic source code generation of the object directory and EDS files.
CANopen Slave
CANopen Slave is full featured product designed for CANopen protocol handling. It supports the following features:
- SDO Server support
- SDO Expedited Transfers
- PDO Producer and Consumer with static mapping and communication parameters
- NMT Slave
- NMT Heartbeat Producer
- EMCY Producer
- LSS Slave
- Object Stings with up to 4 characters
- SDO Normal and block transfers
- Dynamic PDO mapping- and communications parameters
- EMCY History
- Dynamic Object Directory
CANopen Config
CANopen Config is a windows application for configuration of the object directory and the EDS-file of all CANopen stack variants. The tool allows the template-based generation of ANSI-C code and EDS files.
