Designed and Developed the Drive Control module for an Formula Electric car using ARM cortex processor.
CAN provides four different types of message frames:
-
Data Frame – Sends data Data transfer from one sending node to one or numerous receiving nodes.
-
Remote Frame – Requests data
Any node may request data from one source node. A remote frame is consequently followed by a data frame containing the requested data.
-
Error Frame – Reports error condition Any bus participant, sender or receiver, may signal an error condition at any time during a data or remote frame transmission.
-
Overload Frame – Reports node overload
A node can request a delay between two data or remote frames, meaning that the overload frame can only occur between data or remote frame transmissions.
