FlexRay

session in

The session to read. This session is returned from XNET Create Session. The session mode must be Conversion.

signal data

An input that returns a one-dimensional array of signal values. Each signal value is scaled, 64-bit floating point.

Each array element corresponds to a signal configured for the session. The order of signals in the array corresponds to the order in the session list.

The data provides the value for the next conversion of each signal.

error in

Error conditions that occur before this node runs.

The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Standard Error Behavior

Default value: No error

session out

An output that is the same as session in, provided for use with subsequent nodes.

unused payloads

This parameter is empty. No user input is needed.

frame data

Returns the array of LabVIEW clusters.

Each array element corresponds to a frame the session converted.

The elements of each cluster are specific to the FlexRay protocol.

Slot

This element specifies the slot number within the FlexRay cycle.

cycle count

An element that specifies the cycle number.

The FlexRay cycle count increments from 0 to 63, then rolls over back to 0.

startup?

A Boolean value that specifies whether the frame is a startup frame (true) or not (false).

sync?

A Boolean value that specifies whether the frame is a sync frame (true) or not (false).

preamble?

A Boolean value that specifies the value of the payload preamble indicator in the frame header.

If the frame is in the static segment, preamble? being true indicates the presence of a network management vector at the beginning of the payload. The XNET Cluster FlexRay:Network Management Vector Length property specifies the number of bytes at the beginning.

If the frame is in the dynamic segment, preamble? being true indicates the presence of a message ID at the beginning of the payload. The message ID is always 2 bytes in length.

If preamble? is false, the payload does not contain a network management vector or a message ID.

chA

A Boolean value that specifies whether the frame was received on channel A (true) or not (false).

chB

A Boolean value that specifies whether the frame was received on channel B (true) or not (false).

echo?

A Boolean value that determines whether the frame was an echo of a successful transmit (true), or received from the network (false).

type

The frame type.

The decimal value is in parentheses.


FlexRay Data (32)	FlexRay data frame. The frame contains payload data. This is the most commonly used frame type for FlexRay. All elements in the frame are applicable.

timestamp

An element that represents the absolute time when the XNET interface received the frame (end of frame), accurate to microseconds.

The timestamp returned by the conversion is always invalid (0).

payload

The array of data bytes for FlexRay frames of type FlexRay Data or FlexRay Null.

The array size indicates the received frame value payload length.

According to the FlexRay protocol, this length range is 0-254.

XNET Convert (Signal to Frame FlexRay) writes the FlexRay frame identification to the following fields:

slot
cycle count
chA/chB

In addition, the following fields are set to their database definition:

startup?
sync?
preamble?

error out

Error information.

The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
