IO672 - Bus Controller Send

IO672 - Bus Controller Send — This block sends a list of messages to the specified channel on the board

Library

Simulink Real-Time - Speedgoat

Description

This block sends a list of messages to the specified channel on the board.

Before you construct the list of messages:

  • Allocate space for the list with the Create BC Message List block.

  • Fill in information about each message with Encode BC Message blocks.

  • Each instance of an Encode BC Message block fills in information for a single message on the list. Daisy chain the Encode BC Message block L signals so that the Encode BC blocks execute before the Bus Controller Send block.

The Bus Controller Send block allocates a list for the reception of messages. This block can:

  • Read the set of messages and statuses from the last time a message was sent before sending the new list.

  • Send the new list and wait for a response.

In other words, for time step N, the output of the Send block is either the response to time step N-1 or the response to time step N, chosen from the Response mode parameter.

Parameters

Channel

From the list of available channels on the board, choose channel 1, 2, 3 or 4. This channel is initialized for this command stream.

Response mode

Options:

  • Send new message then wait and read response — Transmit new message, and then wait for response before continuing.

  • Use the Maximum wait time (microseconds) parameter to set the amount of time the block must wait for a response.

Maximum wait time (microseconds)

The maximum time that this block waits for the message stream to be sent by the board. If the Response mode parameter is set to Send new message then wait and read response, use this parameter. A reasonable maximum wait time is 1000 microseconds (1 millisecond). This value must not exceed the sample time as exceeding the sample time triggers an execution overload.

Sample Time

Defines the base sample time at which this driver block gets its sample hit. This parameter can also be set to -1 for inherited sample time. The units are in seconds.
