Vehicle Network Toolbox: CAN Communication

Description

The CAN Transmit block transmits messages to the CAN network using the specified CAN device. The CAN Transmit block can transmit a single message or an array of messages during a given timestep. To transmit an array of messages, use a mux (multiplex) block from the Simulink block library.

Note   You need a license for both the Vehicle Network Toolbox and Simulink software to use this block.

The CAN Transmit block has one input port. This port accepts a CAN message packed using the CAN Pack block. It has no output ports.

Other Supported Feature

The CAN Transmit block supports the use of Simulink Accelerator mode. Using this feature, you can speed up the execution of Simulink models.

For more information on this feature, see the Simulink documentation.

Dialog Box

Use the Sink Block Parameters dialog box to select your CAN Transmit block parameters.

Tip   Configure your CAN Configuration block before you configure the CAN Transmit block parameters.

Device

Select the CAN device and a channel on the device to use to transmit CAN messages to the network. This list shows all the devices installed on the system. It displays the vendor name, the device name, and the channel ID. The default is the first available device on your system.
