Data exchange via CAN bus

This folder contains the source files for the demonstration project on data exchange between two devices over the CAN bus.

Both stations are implemented in REX but any of them can be replaced by another device supporting with CAN bus.

Prerequisites

  • REXYGEN Runtime Core and CanDrv modules must be installed and running on the individual devices to run the examples.

Running the examples

  • The *exec.mdl file is the project main file.
  • Open it with REXYGEN Studio, compile and download it to the target device(s).
  • Switch to Watch mode and observe the algorithm in real-time.
  • Station 1 sends one CAN message when invoked by the MP_SEND function block (when in Watch mode, open the parameters dialog of the MP_SEND block and set the BSTATE parameter to ON).
  • Station 2 receives the data. Note that it only receives messages which correspond with filter settings of the CanRecv block.
