CAN Resistor Emulator Card parametrization

Description of the set of parameters for the CAN Resistor Emulator Card in the HIL Connect Interface component.

Parameters

Table 1 lists parameters which appear when you select CAN Resistor Emulator Card on HIL Connect Interface component.The first letter of the property "Name" differs depending on the Slot where the card is located. It can be derived by replacing s with: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H.

Figure 1. Parameters

Table 1. Description of parameters
Parameter	Name	Description
X1	sX01	Check if the X1 connector is used on Slot s on the HIL Connect.
X2	sX02	Check if the X2 connector is used on Slot s on the HIL Connect.
X3	sX03	Check if the X3 connector is used on Slot s on the HIL Connect.
X4	sX04	Check if the X4 connector is used on Slot s on the HIL Connect.
Include CAN Setup	sinclude_CAN_setup	Includes a CAN Setup component. Only one card in one HIL Connect Interface component can have this checked. Also, only one HIL Connect Interface on same HIL device can have this component included. Note: If a CAN Setup component is used outside of the HIL Connect Interface component, baud rate should be set to 1e6 bits/s and execution rate should be 1ms.
Card option	soption	Card option, which defines some specific characteristic of the card. Information about the option is represented by a number following the card configuration letters in the configuration code.

Ports

Resistor values can be sent to the HIL Connect through the following input ports of the HIL Connect Interface component (again, the first letter depends on the Slot where this card is located):

sX1
sX2
sX3
sX4

A vector of length 2 should be sent to each input port. Port sX1 receives resistor values R1 and R2 respectively, sX2 receives resistor values R3 and R4, sX3 receives resistor values R5 and R6 and sX4 receives resistor values R7 and R8. Resistor value is limited to 65535.
