J1939 Receive

Receive J1939 parameter group messages

  • J1939 Receive block

Libraries:
Simulink Real-Time / J1939 Communication
Vehicle Network Toolbox / J1939 Communication

Description

The J1939 Receive block receives a J1939 message from the configured CAN device. The J1939 database file defines the nodes and parameter groups. You specify the J1939 database by using the J1939 Network Configuration block.

To use this block, you must have a license for both Vehicle Network Toolbox™ and Simulink® software.

The J1939 communication blocks support the use of Simulink accelerator and rapid accelerator modes. You can speed up the execution of Simulink models by using these modes. For more information on these modes, see Acceleration (Simulink).

The J1939 communication blocks also support code generation that have limited deployment capabilities. Code generation requires a C++ compiler that is compatible with the code generation target. For the current list of supported compilers, see Supported and Compatible Compilers.

Ports

Output

expand all

Depending on the J1939 parameter group defined in the J1939 database file, the block can have multiple data output signal ports. The block output data type is double.

When you select the Output New Message Received status check box in the parameters dialog, this port outputs 1 when a new message is received from the CAN bus. Otherwise, this port outputs 0.

Parameters

The name of the J1939 network configuration to associate. This value is used to access the corresponding J1939 database. Only the nodes defined in the model and associated with the specified J1939 network configuration appear in the Node name list. The option shows none if no J1939 network configuration is found.

The name of the J1939 node. The drop-down list includes all the nodes in the model, both custom nodes and nodes from the database.

The parameter group number (PGN) and name from the database. The contents of this list vary depending on the parameter groups that the J1939 database file specifies. The default is the first parameter group for the selected node.

If you change any parameter group settings within your J1939 database file, open the J1939 Receive block dialog box and select the same Parameter Group and click OK or Apply.

Signals that are defined in the parameter group. The Min and Max settings are read from the database, but by default the block does not clip signal values that exceed this range.

Filter messages based on source address are:

  • Allow only — Specify a single source address.

  • Allow all — Accepts messages from any source address. This option is the default.

Filter out a message based on the destination address:

  • global only — Receive only broadcast messages.

  • node specific only — Receive only messages addressed to this node.

  • global and node specific — Receive all broadcast and node-addressed messages. This option is the default.

The simulation refresh rate. Specify the sampling time of the block during simulation. This value defines the frequency at which the J1939 Receive block updates its output ports. If the block is inside a triggered subsystem or inherits a sample time, specify a value of -1. You can also specify a MATLAB® variable for sample time. The default value is 0.01 simulation seconds. For information about simulation sample timing, see Timing in Hardware Interface Models.

Select this check box to create a Msg Status output port. Its output signal indicates a new incoming message, showing 1 for a new message received, or 0 when there is no new message.
