Structure of the imported nodes
Nodes marked for import in the DBC file are inserted in the TwinCAT System Manager as CAN nodes. Messages are mapped as PDOs and signals as variables.
If messages with extended ID (29-bit) are imported, then the PDO contains a corresponding note.
A comment with structure information from the DBC file is appended to the imported variables.
The data types of the CAN node variables correspond to the specification by the DBC file:
- signed / unsigned integer
- Bit size
The Motorola/Intel bit-counting method or the swapping of the bytes in the case of integers is observed.
Messages are mapped as PDOs and signals as variables:
