CAN Communication

The CAN Bus connects multiple microcontroller systems. To test a CAN application, a complete system needs to be constructed. When testing with real hardware, typically a CAN Analyzer is required that generates the messages to other applications.

The following figure shows a typical hardware configuration for system test of a CAN application.

The µVision3 Simulator provides a complete CAN environment that allows you to test a CAN application at system level. µVision provides an interface to the CAN peripheral via:
