CAN and CAN FD module

Schematic Editor components available through the CAN and CAN FD real-time module

Real-time only: This document is valid only for real-time/VHIL simulation.

The CAN and CAN FD module allows you to implement CAN and CAN FD in your models. By simulating the communication layer of your high-fidelity model, you can minimize the risk of related issues during the deployment phase.

Table 1 lists the components available for real-time simulation through unlocking the CAN and CAN FD license.

For information about other licenses, please refer to the Licensable Products documentation.
