Programmable CAN Transmission Modes
Polled Mode By a remote-transmission-request telegram, the connected host
calls for the current process value. The inclinometer reads the
current position value, calculates eventually set-parameters and
sends back the obtained process value by the same identifier.
Cyclic Mode The inclinometer transmits cyclically the current process value,
without being called by the host. The cycle time can be
programmed in milliseconds for values between 1 ms and
65536 ms.
Sync Mode The inclinometer answers with current process value after
receiving a sync telegram. The parameter sync counter can be
programmed to skip a certain number of sync telegrams before
answering again.
Heartbeat Function A node signals its communication status by cyclically transmitting
a heartbeat message. This message is received by one or any
number of members (Heartbeat Consumers) in the bus and so
they can control the dedicated node (Heartbeat Producer).
