Bus Off
Error counter
1)
has exceeded
the specified threshold, or
PN/CAN LINK needs more than
2 seconds to synchronize itself
to the CAN bus.
As a consequence, the PN/CAN
LINK stops
transmitting/receiving packets.
2
Error Passive
Error counter
1)
has reached
the specified threshold.
PN/CAN LINK still transmits /
receives packets.
3
Error Active
Error counter
1)
is below a
specified threshold.
This is the normal state.
Everything is okay.
1) The error counters customary in CAN and the associated thresholds are internal functions that are
not visible to the user.
