Message Objects
The MOb is a CAN frame descriptor. It contains all information to handle a CAN frame. This
means that a MOb has been outlined to allow to describe a CAN message like an object. The set
of MObs is the front end part of the “mailbox” where the messages to send and/or to receive are
pre-defined as well as possible to decrease the work load of the software.
The MObs are independent but priority is given to the lower one in case of multi matching. The
operating modes are:
– Disabled mode
– Transmit mode
– Receive mode
– Automatic reply
– Frame buffer receive mode

Number of MObs

Operating Modes

Every MOb has its own fields to control the operating mode. Before enabling the CAN periph-
eral, each MOb must be configured (ex: disabled mode - CONMOB=00).
