Introducing the Vehicle Network Toolbox Block Library

This chapter describes how to use the Vehicle Network Toolbox block library. The block library consists of these blocks:

• CAN Configuration — Configure the settings of a CAN device.

• CAN Pack — Pack signals into a CAN message.

• CAN Receive — Receive CAN messages from a CAN Bus.

• CAN Transmit — Transmit CAN messages to a CAN Bus.

• CAN Unpack — Unpack signals from a CAN message.

The Vehicle Network Toolbox block library is a tool for simulating message traffic on a CAN network, as well for using the CAN bus to send and receive messages. You can use blocks from the block library with blocks from other Simulink libraries to create sophisticated models.

To use the Vehicle Network Toolbox block library you require Simulink, a tool for simulating dynamic systems. Simulink is a model definition environment. Use Simulink blocks to create a block diagram that represents the computations of your system or application. Simulink is also a model simulation environment. Run the block diagram to see how your system behaves. If you are new to Simulink, read the Simulink Getting Started Guide in the Simulink documentation to understand its functionality better.

For more detailed information about the blocks in the Vehicle Network Toolbox block library, see Block Reference.
