Problem for sending 2 CAN frame with different interval

[GU Haojie]

Hello, team:

Recently, I face a problem to send 2 CAN frames with different interval.

i.e.       Frame          Interval

            FrameA         50ms

            FrameB         200ms

The thing is that interval time is the longer one always. I have less knowledge of Labview so far, I don't know which structure could be used in my condition.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks you.

Hi Gu Haojie,

Flat sequence will be the best one, need more details to help you at lest your block diagram snippet

I don't understand.  Are you writing CAN or reading it?  Are you using NI-CAN or NI-XNET?  What is your hardware, is it NI based even?  Post your code.

That being said I've never had any problem reading or writing CAN frames at different rates in any API.

Oh and if you are new to LabVIEW here is some free training:

My hardware is NI-USB8473. And what I wanna do is to periodic send CAN frames, but they have difference time interval.

Example, Frame A should be sent by each 50ms and Frame B should be sent by each 200ms.  

Thanks very much for your links, do u know how to post a picture, BTW?

Here is my current block diagram

 XNET can do periodic frames well; I've done this with the PCI card. The database of frames contains the intervals to send them. As I recall loading the database was all that was needed. Setting the frame values changed what was being periodically sent.

Tks, it seems that couldn't work with the "NI USB-8473"

I have done this in the past with (multiple) NI-USB 8473 and invested hours and hours just to try and keep the frames synced. It's impossible to keep the frames on a certain interval as the OS and the USB will kill your timing. My application experienced delays of more than 400 ms for frames that required intervals of 20 ms!

Long story short: Do yourself a favor and use an XNET compatible PCI card, they support periodic CAN frames by design.
