Supported Features

• ISO 11898-1 and 11898-2 compliant

• CAN FD (selectable by channel)

• Configurable through DBC and ARXML files (including DBC files where a message is transmitted by multiple nodes)

• Configurable number of active channels (within the constraints of the hardware)

• Configurable bit rate for each channel: 50, 62, 83, 100, 125, 250, 500 and 1000 Kbps and up to 8 Mbps for CAN FD

• Silent mode

• 1-bit granularity messages

• Simple signal multiplexing for both transmission and reception of data

• 1 instance of the driver can handle multiple hardware cards

• Message transmission and reception can be enabled/disabled in the model (cyclically transmitted messages are exempt)

• Transmission and reception buffers can be emptied in the model

• Messages can be transmitted with a fixed or a dynamic ID

• Messages can be received with a specific ID or in promiscuous mode

• Endianness for each signal in a message can be chosen between Intel and Motorola formats

• A gain and an offset can be applied to each signal within a message, both in transmission and in reception

• Statistics for each channel can be monitored

• Configurable flags for each transmitted message

• Flags for each received message can be monitored

• The timestamp of each received message can be monitored

• Nodes of type Vector_XXX can be imported to CAN configuration via the DBC importer (but will not be part of the CAN communication)

Limitations

• Maximum number of channels is 4 per card, however one instance of the driver can handle multiple cards

• Number of frames per message that can be received in one time step is 20 (buffer size parameter value)

• Enabling the Bus Load feature slows down the CAN data communication

• Only Linux simulations are supported

• Does not support RTA mode simulation on Windows systems

• Does not support legacy configuration mode (using .io and .opal configuration files)

• Minimal HYPERSIM version: CAN driver using the Kvaser PCIe card (V1 or V2) is supported from version 2024.4 onwards
