8.9.4 Receiving CAN messages
The module offers two modes for receiving CAN FD/CAN messages:
A) RAW: All messages are captured by the module and routed to the PC level
for decoding or CAN raw storage.
B) Decoding on the device and in real time. This has the advantage that the
signals in the module or in the QuantumX system network are available in real
time, and so, for example, incoming signals can be repackaged into other
messages and with a different data type, or relayed to other buses or outputs
(EtherCAT, PROFINET, xCP-on-Ethernet, voltage output).
In case B, the relevant messages must be made known to the node. This can
be done directly on the node or repeatably via preconfigured messages in the
sensor database in the catman software or the free MX Assistant software.
Individual messages can be linked to the node by dragging from the sensor
database and dropping them where required. CAN databases of type *.DBC
can also be read into the database and the channels custom-parameterized. If
no CAN database is available, it can also be created. Editors for this purpose
are provided by different companies.
In Logging mode (RAW or Decoding on the device) all received messages are
immediately "time-stamped". This enables directly acquired measured
quantities and CAN messages to be acquired and analyzed in parallel and
synchronously in the entire system.
