Overview

The TF6650 function enables DBC file formats (.dbc) to be read. The DBC data format is a CAN network description and enables the definition of attributes and the assignment of these attributes to the elements of the network. DBC files are text files containing, for example, scaling information for CAN data and signal definitions. The import and pre-processing of the data takes place via the TF6650 using the parameters stored in the DBC file. As an additional function, network nodes can be simulated according to the DBC file.
For a hardware interface, the function uses the EL6751 CANopen master terminal or the M510 CAN optional interface with the Embedded PCs or the FC512x plug-in card.
