CAN interface for bodywork
Requirements for CAN communication with the vehicle
11:90-01 Issue 1 en-GB 130 (139)
SAE J1939-21 Data Link Layer
SAE J1939-21 defines five message types:
Commands - Not supported.
Requests - Not supported.
Broadcast/Response - All available information is sent periodically.
Acknowledgement - Not supported.
Group Functions - Proprietary messages and Multipacket messages, TP.CM,
TP.DT, are supported.
Note:
According to section 5.2.1 SAE J1939-21, Revised Version July 1998, priority bits
in message identifiers must be filtered out and ignored by the receivers.
General guidelines
Control units connected to a CAN bus must be able to handle up to 100% CAN
bus load with the correct messages with no significant functional limitations or
malfunctions.
As a rule of thumb, CAN bus load should not exceed 80%.
Closing control loops over the CAN is not recommended as the guaranteed access
time is relatively long and fast control loops require a lot of bandwidth. If closed
control loops over the CAN are still required, then they must be fully capable of
sending the necessary CAN messages using only half the transmission frequency.
IMPORTANT!
The bodybuilder is responsible for ensuring that the external CAN bus is used cor-
rectly.
