Vehicle Network Toolbox: CAN Communication
The CAN Replay block replays logged messages from a .mat file to a CAN network or to Simulink. You need a CAN Configuration block to replay to the network.
To replay messages logged in the MATLAB Command window in your Simulink model, convert them into a compatible format using vntslgate and save it to a separate file. Refer to the Basic CAN Message Replay and Logging demo in the Vehicle Network Toolbox Simulink Demos for information.
When you replay logged messages, Simulink uses the original timestamps on the messages. When you replay to a network, the timestamps correlate to real time, and when you replay to the Simulink input port it correlates to simulation time. If the timestamps in the messages are all 0, all messages are replayed as soon as the simulation starts, because simulation time and real time will be ahead of the timestamps in the replayed messages.
The CAN Replay 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.
The CAN Log block supports the use of code generation along with the packNGo function to group required source code and dependent shared libraries. For more information, see Code Generation.
Vehicle Network Toolbox Simulink blocks allow you to generate code, enabling models containing these blocks to run successfully in Accelerator, Rapid Accelerator, External, and Deployed modes.
You can use Vehicle Network Toolbox, Simulink Coder, and Embedded Coderproducts together to generate code (on the host end) that you can use to implement your model for a practical application. For more information on code generation, see Building Executables.
The block generates code with limited portability. The block uses precompiled shared libraries, such as DLLs, to support I/O for specific types of devices. With this block, you can use the packNGo function supported by the Simulink Coder, to set up and manage the build information for your models. The packNGo function allows you to package model code and dependent shared libraries into a zip file for deployment. You do not need MATLAB installed on the target system, but the target system needs to be supported by MATLAB.
To set up packNGo:
set_param(gcs, 'PostCodeGenCommand', 'packNGo(buildInfo)');
In this example, gcs is the current model that you wish to build. Building the model creates a zip file with the same name as model name. You can move this zip file to another machine and the source code in the zip file can be built to create an executable which can be run independent of MATLAB and Simulink. The generated code compiles with both C and C++ compilers. For more information on packNGo, see packNGo.
Use the Source Block Parameters dialog box to select your message replay options.
Specify the name and path of the file that contains logged CAN messages that you can replay. You can click Browse to browse to a file location and select the file.
Specify the variable saved in the MAT-file that holds the CAN message information.
Specify the number of times you want the message replayed in your model. You can specify any positive integer, including Inf. Specifying Inf continuously replays messages until simulation stops.
Specify if the model is replaying messages to the CAN network or an output port. Select a device to replay to the CAN network.
Select the device on the CAN network to replay messages to. This filed is unavailable if you select Input port for Replay message to option.
Specify the sampling time of the block during simulation, which is the simulation time as described by the Simulink documentation. This value defines the frequency at which the CAN Replay block runs during simulation. If the block is inside a triggered subsystem or to inherit sample time, you can specify –1 as your sample time. You can also specify a MATLAB variable for sample time. The default value is 0.01 (in seconds).
