HV Motor Control Board CAN Bus Communication

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE

I have two TI High Voltage Motor Control and PFC Developers Kits (v1.7), and I need to communicate between the two through the CAN bus connectors. I am currently using a TMSF28035 card on the kit. I have been using the DACs and ADCs for the time being, but for the next phase of the project I need those freed up for something else. I am really not even sure where to start looking for information on how to use the CAN bus to communicate between the two boxes. To be more specific,

1) What needs to be included in the main C file?

2) What headers need to be included to use the CAN bus?

3) What are the commands I can use within a given C file  (i.e. HVACIsensored.C or something) to use the CAN bus to send and receive data?

Any information would be helpful. 

Thanks,

Mike

  • Mike,

    I would recommend taking a look at some of the device_support example projects, particular those on eCAN:
    \controlSUITE\device_support\f2803x\v126\DSP2803x_examples_ccsv4\ecan_back2back\

    This should give you a good place to start.  You'll then need to combine the motor control project and the CAN project

    By the way I would expect the CAN header files are already included in the project.


    Thank you,
    Brett
