CAN Protocol Specifications

The CAN protocol in SBG Systems devices offers extensive support for nearly all the information provided by the sbgECom serial protocol.
Although the CAN and serial protocols are not identical, they share many definitions and data structures to ensure consistency.

The CAN interface is primarily designed for outputting messages and can support external aiding equipment such as CAN-based odometers.
However, the CAN interface cannot be used to configure the device. For configuration purposes, standard serial or Ethernet interfaces must be utilized.

CAN Conventions & Definitions

CAN 2.0 A/B Interface

The protocol described in this documentation is used to communicate with the AHRS/INS over a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus.
The CAN bus is a message-based protocol originally designed for automotive applications but is now widely used across various industries.

SBG Systems' CAN implementation supports both CAN 2.0A and CAN 2.0B standards, ensuring maximum compatibility with third-party equipment and CAN software.
The CAN bus implementation adheres to the CiA (CAN in Automation) DS-102 standard for quantum and timing definitions.

The following standard CAN bus bitrates are supported:

  • 1 000 kBit/s
  • 800 kBit/s
  • 500 kBit/s
  • 250 kBit/s
  • 200 kBit/s
  • 125 kBit/s
  • 100 kBit/s
  • 50 kBit/s
  • 25 kBit/s
  • 20 kBit/s
  • 10 kBit/s

A maximum of 8 bytes per frame are transmitted, both standard (11 bits) and extended (29 bits) identifiers are supported.

Warning
SBG Systems' products do not include a 120 Ohm termination resistor; it is the user's responsibility to implement this component.

Status and Enum Definitions

All status indicators, enumerations, and bitmasks used in the CAN messages are consistent with those in the sbgECom Binary Messages definitions.
To ensure simplicity and maintainability, please refer to the sbgECom Binary Messages for detailed definitions of status flags, bitmasks, and enumerations.

Value Scaling and Units

To maximize compatibility with third-party CAN software, each parameter in the CAN messages can be adjusted using a simple offset and scale factor.
For example, if a parameter has a scale factor of $10^{-2}$, the value returned by the device should be multiplied by $10^{-2}$ (or divided by 100) to convert it to the correct unit specified in the message.

Message Identification

Each CAN message is assigned a unique identifier, encoded using 11 bits for standard CAN 2.0A messages or 29 bits for extended CAN 2.0B messages.

  • Standard CAN messages: Message IDs range from 0x000 to 0x7FF, allowing for 2,048 unique identifiers.
  • Extended CAN messages: IDs can go up to 0x1FFFFFF, offering over 536 million unique identifiers.

By default, all CAN message IDs are disabled to prevent conflicts with other devices on the same network.
When configuring CAN message outputs, it is crucial to carefully select IDs to avoid collisions with other devices' IDs.

CAN Messages Overview

The following section provides an overview of all available CAN messages with a brief description and default CAN identifier.

Because CAN payloads are limited to 8 bytes only, consistent data might be spread across several CAN messages.
For example, the two CAN messages SBG_ECAN_MSG_UTC_0 and SBG_ECAN_MSG_UTC_1 form a consistent dataset that should be interpreted together.

Event Markers

SBG Systems Inertial Systems can detect event markers at up to 1 kHz on synchronization input signals, such as Sync A, Sync B, Sync C, Sync D, and Sync E.
For each input synchronization signal, the device outputs a binary log that captures the timestamp of each received event within the last 5 milliseconds.
The maximum output rate for these logs is 200 Hz.

The TIME_STAMP field records the time of the first event detected within the 5 ms window.
Subsequent events within this period are captured using TIME_OFFSET fields, which store the time difference between the TIME_STAMP and each subsequent event.
This approach optimizes log size by reducing redundant timestamp data.

Example:

If three events are received within the last 5 ms:

  • The first event's time is recorded directly in TIME_STAMP.
  • The second event's time is recorded as TIME_STAMP + TIME_OFFSET_0.
  • The third event's time is recorded as TIME_STAMP + TIME_OFFSET_1.

If there are fewer events, the remaining TIME_OFFSET fields are set to 0. The EVENT_STATUS flag indicates which TIME_OFFSET fields are valid.

Note
The system can detect event markers at rates up to 1 kHz. However, excessive event rates may overload the internal CPU, leading to decreased performance and reliability.
Warning
Never leave an activated Sync In signal unconnected, as noise on the line may trigger spurious events at very high rates, potentially causing issues with system performance.
