Detailed Description

For transmission and reception of CAN messages a structure which holds all necessary informations is used. The structure has the following data fields:

Data Fields
uint32_t	ulIdentifier

union {
uint8_t aubByte [CP_DATA_SIZE]

uint16_t auwWord [CP_DATA_SIZE/2]

uint32_t aulLong [CP_DATA_SIZE/4]

}	tuMsgData

uint8_t	ubMsgDLC

uint8_t	ubMsgCtrl

uint32_t	ulMsgUser

Field Documentation

◆ aubByte

uint8_t CpCanMsg_s::aubByte[CP_DATA_SIZE]

byte access, array of bytes

◆ aulLong

uint32_t CpCanMsg_s::aulLong[CP_DATA_SIZE/4]

32 bit access, array of longs

◆ auwWord

uint16_t CpCanMsg_s::auwWord[CP_DATA_SIZE/2]

16 bit access, array of words

◆ tuMsgData

union { ... } CpCanMsg_s::tuMsgData

The data field has up to 8 bytes (for classic CAN) or 64 bytes (for ISO CAN FD) of message data. The number of used bytes is described via the structure member ubMsgDLC.

◆ ubMsgCtrl

uint8_t CpCanMsg_s::ubMsgCtrl

The structure member ubMsgCtrl defines the different data frames (2.0A / 2.0B) and the RTR frames.

Bit 0: Std. / Ext. Frame
Bit 1: ISO CAN FD: value of FDF bit
Bit 2: Remote Frame
Bit 3: Overload Frame
Bit 4: Remote Procedure Call
Bit 5: reserved, always 0
Bit 6: ISO CAN FD: value of BRS bit
Bit 7: ISO CAN FD: value of ESI bit

◆ ubMsgDLC

uint8_t CpCanMsg_s::ubMsgDLC

The data length code denotes the number of data bytes which are transmitted by a message. The possible value range for the data length code is from 0 to 8 for classic CAN and 0 to 15 for ISO CAN FD.

◆ ulIdentifier

uint32_t CpCanMsg_s::ulIdentifier

The identifier field may have 11 bits for standard frames (CAN specification 2.0A) or 29 bits for extended frames (CAN specification 2.0B). The three most significant bits are reserved (always read 0).

◆ ulMsgUser

uint32_t CpCanMsg_s::ulMsgUser

The field user data can hold a 32 bit value, which is defined by the user. This is an optional field (available if CP_CAN_MSG_USER is set to 1).
