The MSCAN Controller Module fully simulates the operation of the MSCAN08 Protocol Version 2.0 based device, including:
The MSCAN08 peripheral is a scalable Control Area Network (CAN) 2.0 compliant device that allows microcontrollers to exchange data between themselves at high speeds. This is done through a high-speed serial link that is deterministic and reliable. CAN devices are often utilized in automobiles, where multiple microcontrollers need to be connected into a network. The CAN specification indicates that any unit on the bus can be a master at any time, which sends a message to another unit at any time, provided the bus is free to do so. All of these messages can be set up through the CAN I/O commands built into the simulator. This section goes through an example which shows how the simulator can be used to test out code that drives the CAN peripheral
