High speed and Low Speed CAN

Hi
This is my first time to use CAN.
I have LabVIEW  2010 and  LabVIEW FPGA
I have NI 3110 Dual-Core Industrial Controller with Windows OS, NI 9157, NI 9852 CAN Low Speed Module and NI 9853 CAN High Speed Module to be used to monitor the CAN messages from an ECU unit.
The connection is done as the following:
·         The High speed CAN is connected to the NI-CAN 9853 (Port 0)
·         The low speed CAN is connected to the NI-CAN 9852 (Port 0)
·         The baud rate of the 9853 is 500kbps
·         The baud rate of the 9852 is 50kbps
·         Both modules are set to “Listen Only”
·         “Module Clock” in both modules is set to 20MHz
·         CAN networks are 29-bit and 11-bit.
My consideration is to read all the messages from both modules without losing any message. Below is a picture from the block diagram on the FPGA target, is this the best way to read CAN messages from both modules? Also, could you please suggest what is the best way to read the messages on Host vi?
Unfortunately, I do not have the module right now to do some test, so that I cannot get the iteration time (“CAN Low Speed Loop” and “CAN High Speed Loop” show in the picture below), could you please tell how to calculate the iteration time needed for each loop depending on the above information.

The way that you have proposed to use the CAN module to monitor the BUS is a bad idea.  We have a prebuilt driver that will do most of this work for you.  You will need to download and install the NI-CAN 2.7.3 and then you will be able to use the example finder.  In the example finder look for.
The example finder is accessed through the Help menu.

  • Need help, high ping and low speeds almost constan...

    Hello. Over the past 5 or so days my internet has been incredibly slow and I'd like some help.
    My houses internet has been incredibly slow for around 5 days, I've regularly been checking speedtest.net and we have been having ~300-600 ping, 0.5 download and 0.1 upload, this is much lower than usual. I'm not sure if you know what's causing this but any advice would be greatly appreciated to help us get back upto speed!
    If you need any information (stats etc) just link me to what I need to do and I'll post it!
    Thanks, Josh!

  • Whats the difference between high-density and low-density ram?

    I bought what I thought was supposed to be a cheap 256 mb chip (pc100 or 133) but the g4 400 read only 128mb, The fellow in the store that sold it flipped out when I told him I had a Mac and said something about high density and low-density.Another guy in the store described it as being one sided and two sided.
    I don't know what my machine needs. I got my money back but he would'nt let me exchange the chip for another, me thinking it was simply mislabeled.

    The QuickSilvers use PC-133 SDRAM and are compatible with high-density memory chips (256 Megabit), so that 16-chip 512 MB and 8-chip 256 MB non-ECC DIMMs are supported. A low density, 16-chip (128 Megabit) 256 MB DIMM is also supported.

  • What are the advantages of varying write speeds and burn speeds?

    What are the advantages of varying write speeds and burn speeds?

    The slower the speed, the fewer burn errors (or, in other words, you'll burn fewer "coasters"). I've always tried to burn at a slower speed, i.e. 2x - 4x. I'd rather wait a few minutes more and I've never had any burn errors.

  • High bytes and low bytes?

    What are high bytes and low bytes? Thanks for helping.

    This may not be enough information to answer your question. How and where are the terms High bytes and Low bytes used?
    Often, a data type is represented using multiple bytes. For example, short is 2 bytes. Sometimes the most significant byte is the high byte while the least significant byte is the low byte.

  • High noise margin, low speed and repeated drop out...

    Hi - I have a Home Hub 3 which is always dropping the connection.  Unfortunately it gets re-booted alot as this seems to be the only way to get things moving again.  I have just ordered a new router/modem to ss if that will hold the connection better but have been reading these forums and see that the Line Status and Speedtest are a good place to start.  My Line Status shows a noise margin of 17.7dB - could this be my problem?

    Andrew

    Ha - many thanks the quick reply but I am un-masked already as not having a clue what I am talking about! A few hours spent reading up on things before I posted was not enough! I am plugged in to the test socket - have just done the quiet line test on 17070 from a corded phone and there is no noise. A bit of history - 18 months ago we had issues with water damage to underground lines to the house and we are now on the last usable pair (?) at that time I had all extension wiring reoved and new Master socket fitted. We have been OK but not spectacular since - we struggle to have 3 computers running off the net at times and I dont beieve we are getting anywhere close to our expected speed and then recently we have experienced drop outs and really slow speed as mentioned in original post.

  • DSL disconnects and low speed: Transceiver Statistics

    So the technician changed my modem to an Actiontec GT784WN. I now have access to the transceiver statistics.
    I've already had like 20 disconnections today and my speed -which can go up to 10000 kbps in the morning- dropped to 2000-4000 kbps. So I'm copy/pasting my stats here in case somebody can pinpoint a problem somewhere.

    Sorry about not replying back sooner. Based on what I see here, you have a line that needs to be repaired by a field tech. Your attenuation is low in the morning hours when your connection is at a higher speed. As your connection degrades, your attenuation is going up while the speed goes down. That is typically the opposite, where a speed decrease causes the attenuation to also decrease a small amount.
    Since you have big swings in speed, attenuation, and relative S/N margin, this is suggestive of a bad splice on the line.
    If you have a landline with Verizon and you have static or other noise on the line, report that problem and do not mention anything about the DSL. If it's just with DSL, DSL Repair should be informed. Emphasise, and strongly emphasise that the solution is not to decrease your speed until that is concerned to be the final solution. A speed decrease won't fix this.

  • Connection issues and low speeds

    Hi there,
    my family have been with BT now for about 3 or so years and the connection had been rather good until about late last year. According to my family it's everytime I come back home from uni the internet starts to play up as in:
    . Low speeds
    .Drops out and loses connection
    Believing it was somehow my laptop causing the issues I backed everything up and completly wiped it because BT support thought it may be a virus on my machine even the the checks came back with nothing. So I've wiped my laptop and restarted it like it was a brand new laptop...still we're having these issues so I refuse to believe it's my laptop causing the problems. I've changed the chanel on the hub so many times it just doesn't make a difference. Tried different DSL adapters tried different cables even a wired connection causes problems. I am begining to think it's because the router has had it but I am willing to try anything at this point before asking for a new router from BT. Even BT don't seem to know what the problem is all they do is reset the routers chanel every single time I ring them.
    So any advice or help would be greatly appreaciated
    Many Thanks
    Benjamin

  • High latency and poor speed tests lately

    For the past 4-5 days, I've been working with various Verizon techs to resolve a high latency/slow Internet problem.  Their ultimate solution was that they have no idea why it's doing this, and since I can reach a few websites at full speed and their line tests show I'm operating at full provisioning, it's not their problem.  "We can't control traffic outside of our networks."  Well, my results are also showing problems with the Verizon servers, so I would think they should be more concerned.  Most websites, however, exhibit the problem.  So I'm stuck, looking for a better answer than "go away."  Maybe some of you are experiencing a similar problem with latency or sporadic speeds?
    My provisioning is 20M/5M.  I'm in the L.A. area. (In the traceroutes below, I masked Hop 2 for privacy.)
    I've experienced this problem with 2 computers (1 desktop, 1 laptop), both using Ethernet ports; one test using wireless on the laptop.  I've plugged the router directly into the ONT coax to eliminate my house wiring as the culprit.  Westell 9100EM router.
    A few websites seem okay, and speedtest.net results always show provisioning at full speed to the L.A. server, but the problem persists when using the non-L.A. server.  With speakeasy.net, even the L.A. server exhibits the problem.  The latency gets worse as the night goes on, sometimes over 1000ms for some traceroute hops.  In the morning, it seems to be back to normal.
    Thanks for any help....

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    MisterJefferson, your problem looks to be with hop #3. That is a Verizon router just after the gateway router for you. This will need to be addressed by a Verizon Network technician. Your hops to your router and your hop to the gateway look fine. Verizon will need to reboot that second router or re-route your hops.
    Chernabog, yours is more difficult, you dont have any obvious big issue. However you do have a moderate jump at hop number 8. this is off the verizon network and is out on the internet. on one of the ATT routers. Unlikely you are going to be able to do anything about this. And as it is off the Verizon network, there would be nothing verizon could do about it either. Usually though, if it is a router needing rebooting, it will generally self correct after a few days. Or you could be unlucky enough to be going through a system that is overloaded or just plain old. This can be frustraiting. I myself play a lot of online games and if the server is in Washington DC (I'm in California) one of the hops I have to go through is in kentucky with sprintlink and their routers constantly give me a 500ms ping and I havent been able to get it corrected in over 4 years. Something we sometimes have to live with when it is out of our control.

  • Sky Fibre constant drop out and low speed

    Hi everyone,
    Just recently switched provider from Plusnet fibre to Sky fibre and boy, has it been a stressful few days. First off, our fibre went live on the 6th of this month but these last couple of days I've been experiencing low speeds between 10-20 mb which I understand is meant to be normal (Never had this issue when I joined plusnet) and I have constant drop outs when I'm surfing the net or playing internet games on my Wii U
    I've phoned Sky within the last two days and told them what's going on and they've done some tests on their end and they are telling me that I'm getting speeds up to 41 mb which I'm not getting, but they can't seem to understand why I keep having this drop out issue with my devices and my laptop and my gaming console. They have sent me a new hub, but I personally don't think sending out a new hub will make a difference. I've stuck a a Ethernet cable into my Sky fibre router and attached a openreach router, to the other end and see if that stops the drop out.
    I'm inclined to leave sky, because I have a feeling this poor service will continue, unless someone can help me.
    Thanks

  • High Processor and Fan Speed

    Hi I've had my 17" MBP for a few months now...
    Until recently all was well. And now all of a sudden it is just going hard all the time, like there is always a high fan speed, and the widget I have shows an unusual amount of processing power.
    And I'm only using very basic applications.
    So any help would be appreciated

    have you tried a restart?
    are there any processes using a large amount of cpu?
    open you activity monitor (applications > utilities > activity monitor)
    at the top, choose all processes
    click on the CPU tab to sort by highest CPU
    anything running a large amount of cpu?

  • Repeated ADSL dropouts and low speed

    I've drawn a blank here and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions?
    Initially my connection was rated at somewhere between 7-10Mbps and it worked okay for just over a year at just shy of 10Mbps, but now I'm having problems.
    A couple of weeks ago during the hot spell the connection kept repeated dropping, giving me a flashing broadband light on my homehub 3 Type A but the speed remained okay (about 7Mbps IIRC). Since then the drops have continued in bursts (sometimes it's okay for a day, other times it drops every few minutes for hours) and the speed has become increasingly worse to the point of barely usable.
    Yesterday I was down to 4Mbps, today 2.5Mbps. Obviously I can't maintain a connection to gain an improved speed due to the dropouts.
    I have the router connected directly to the master socket, I've tried a new filter, I've tried with and without the faceplate, I've checked the cable to the router and I've disconnected the phone and the sky box to rule those out. I've also left the router running with no devices connected to it whatsoever (wired or wireless) and it still loses its connection periodically. I can't think of anything external that would be affecting it that I've noticed, and I'm fairly confident I can rule out the weather because it's been going on longer than the current rainy spell.
    The quiet line test gives me a very quiet line and calls are clean and clear when I phone people.
    the latest stats taken from my homehub are:
    Connection Information
    Line state: Connected
    Connection time: 0 days, 03:13:18 (note: This is due to a disconnection - I didn't powercycle the router)
    Downstream: 2.997 Mbps
    Upstream: 584 Kbps
    ADSL Settings
    VPI/VCI: 0/38
    Type: PPPoA
    Modulation: G.992.5 Annex A
    Latency type: Interleaved
    Noise margin (Down/Up): 19.5 dB / 18.7 dB
    Line attenuation (Down/Up): 31.8 dB / 18.2 dB
    Output power (Down/Up): 18.1 dBm / 9.9 dBm
    FEC Events (Down/Up): 749108 / 60565
    CRC Events (Down/Up): 6 / 811
    Loss of Framing (Local/Remote): 0 / 0
    Loss of Signal (Local/Remote): 0 / 0
    Loss of Power (Local/Remote): 0 / 0
    HEC Events (Down/Up): 40 / 2174
    Error Seconds (Local/Remote): 352 / 3180
    and from the speedtest:
    Download speed achieved during the test was ­ 2.51 Mbps
    For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 1.2 Mbps­ - 4 Mbps.
    IP Profile for your line is ­ 2.71 Mbps
    Upload speed achieved during the test was ­ 0.46Mbps
    Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is ­ 0.83 Mbps
    Anything I might have missed? any suggestions?

    Sorry if I caused any confusion there - this is the socket I have everything connected to (the only one in the house). previously it had a faceplate on it, but I removed that to see if it made any difference. It didn't.
    The only thing that is currently connected is the homehub, via a filter. Previously a phone and a Sky+ box were connected, however I have disconnected them to see if it made any difference and only plugged the phone in for a couple of minutes to do the quiet line test.

  • E1200 Router with poor signal and low speeds

    Hello, I just bought an E1200 router, which is downstairs and about 50 ft away from me. I have only about 60% signal strength, and my speed test when connected wirelessly is only 5mbit up,4mbit down. I plugged my computer into the router via ethernet and I get 30mbit up, and 5mbit down.
    Are there any settings you could suggest to improve this? I tried several channels already, none above 60% it seems.
    Thanks!

    second>> reset the router. there is a button at the bottom, press and hold it for 10 seconds then leave it for 2 minutes.
    third>> reinstall the router using the setup cd.

  • High level and low level grabs

    Hi, I'm looking at different acquisition options. Fast acquisition is a priority as is fast processing. I'm a little confused on high level versus low level. Is there any benefit to which one is used? Or is it 6 one way and 1/2 a dozen the other. Thanks

    If you feel comfortable using the Low Level functions I would personally recommend using them instead of the High Level. Bruce's answer is correct, high level will call low level with standard options selected. If you think of ways to improve the speed of your code, you may want to use low level, my reason is because high level VIs will actually be a function call calling other functions, which introduces a minimum delay, instead, if you use low level you are directly calling the functions for acquisition so there is kind of a small time saving if you think of it as acquisition wise.
    Also, the high level VIs if you check their block diagram it has more structures for error checking, session ID checking, etc., so with low level you have direct control over the acquisitio
    n from your main program without introducing innecessary structures or functions.

  • Bus Speed and Ram Speed Question..thanks

    I have recently purchased my first mac! I purchased a refurb but I noticed that the one I purchased has bus speed of 800mhz and the ram has 667mhz. (I did get a 320g hard drive vs a 250g and a 256mb graphics card vs a 128mb) The other one has bus speed of 1066mhz and ram speed has 800mhz. Am I going to notice a difference in the bus/ram speed difference or just stay with the one I purchased?
    thanks

    I don't think you will notice a difference. Other system factors (such as video card, system CPU clock speed, amount of RAM installed, speed of hard drive, etc.) will most likely overwhelm any noticeable difference cause by the slower bus speed.
    If the price of the refurb was good, you should keep it. I have an online Apple Store refurb myself, and although I know that the latest iMacs are a bit faster, I don't see how that extra speed will be of great benefit to me. I'm much happier with the money I saved on the refurb compared to a new iMac.
