Handling More than 100 CAN messages

[manumohan]

Hi,

im simulating a CAN Network with more than 10 ECU's.My application demands nearly 143 CAN Messages to be handled at run time.Which would be the best API's to do this application?Can i used canalyzer drivers to do this while using NI Hardware?

The best way to simulate this many ECUs would be using LabVIEW RT and our PXI FPGA concept to create reconfigurable software simulation systems. The FPGA would connect to CAN modules to send and receive CAN message with the highest performance possible. The RealTime OS would guaranty lowest jitter and determinism.

This hardware is not compatible with Vector CANalyzer software. For more informations please talk to your local sales representative or visit our website ni.com/can

hi,

do you have any existing vi library to handle more than 100 can msgs ?which is the best API,Chennael or frame for this application ?

[DirkW]

Both APIs can handle this, but if you communicate with ECUs the windows timing may not be sufficient. I would recommend to use a RT OS. You should talk to your local NI representative for more informations.

The NI-CAN driver brings examples for both writing and reading multiple messages with multiple IDs timed or not.
