Description

The CAN Transmit block generates source code for transmitting enhanced Controller Area Network (CAN) messages through an CAN mailbox. CAN modules on the processor provide serial communication capability and have 32 mailboxes configurable for receive or transmit. This block supports CAN data frames in standard or extended format.

Note

Fixed-point inputs are not supported by this block.

The block supports CAN or DCAN depending upon the type of C2000 processors.

Configure the CAN modules for a specific hardware board by navigating to Hardware Implementation > Target hardware resources. Verify that these settings meet the requirements of your application.

Parameters

Determines the CAN module configured by this instance of the CAN Transmit block.

A unique number from 0 to 15 for standard or from 0 to 31 for enhanced CAN mode. The number refers to a mailbox area in RAM. In standard mode, the mailbox number determines priority.

Note

In a model, multiple CAN Transmit blocks can have a same Mailbox number. But the same mailbox number cannot be used by CAN Receive block.

The message identifier is 11 bits long for the standard frame size or 29 bits long for the extended frame size in decimal, binary, or hex. For binary and hex formats, use bin2dec(' ') and hex2dec(' '), respectively, to convert the entry. The message identifier is coded into a message that is sent to the CAN bus.

Note

CAN messages use the value of the message identifier parameter in the CAN Pack block for transmission when it is used with C28x CAN Transmit block to create the CAN message.

The message identifier type.

If selected, the CAN block waits indefinitely for a transmit (XMT) acknowledgment. If not selected, the CAN block does not wait for a transmit (XMT) acknowledgment, which is useful if the hardware fails to acknowledge transmissions.

When selected, this block posts an asynchronous interrupt when data is transmitted.

The interrupt line the asynchronous interrupt uses. The value of this parameter sets bit 2 (GIL) in the global interrupt mask register (CANGIM):

  • 1 maps the global interrupts to the CAN1INT line.

  • 0 maps the global interrupts to the CAN0INT line.

Note

For information about setting the timing parameters of the CAN module, see Configuring Timing Parameters for CAN Blocks.

Dependencies

This parameter appears only when Post interrupt when message is transmitted is selected.
