Enhanced Controller Area Network (eCAN)
11 - 24 C28x - Communications
The CAN controller module contains 32 mailboxes for objects of 0 to 8-byte data lengths:
• configurable transmit/receive mailboxes
• configurable with standard or extended indentifier
The CAN module mailboxes are divided into several parts:
• MID – contains the identifier of the mailbox
• MCF (Message Control Field) – contains the length of the message (to transmit or
receive) and the RTR bit (Remote Transmission Request – used to send remote
frames)
• MDL and MDH – contains the data
The CAN module contains registers which are divided into five groups. These registers are
located in data memory from 0x006000 to 0x0061FF. The five register groups are:
• Control & Status Registers
• Local Acceptance Masks
• Message Object Time Stamps
• Message Object Timeout
• Mailboxes
