Transmit CAN message to selected CAN device
Library
Vehicle Network Toolbox: CAN Communication
Description
The CAN Transmit block transmits messages to the CAN network using the specified
CAN device. The CAN Transmit block can transmit a single message or an array
of messages during a given timestep. To transmit an array of messages, use a mux
(multiplex) block from the Simulink block library.
Note: You need a license for both Vehicle Network Toolbox and Simulink software to use
this block.
The CAN Transmit block has one input port. This port accepts a CAN message packed
using the CAN Pack block. It has no output ports.
Note: You cannot have more than one Transmit block in a model using the same NI-
XNET device channel.
Other Supported Feature
The CAN Transmit block supports the use of Simulink Accelerator mode. Using this
feature, you can speed up the execution of Simulink models.
For more information on this feature, see the Simulink documentation.
