Mailboxes

Here the user can modify the mailboxes from the CAN bus.

When Veronte is going to receive data on the CAN Bus, it is mandatory to configure a certain number of mailboxes. In order to add a mailbox one needs to click on (1).

Veronte Configurtion - CAN – Mailboxes

CAN – Mailboxes

Mailboxes are required to store the data received until Veronte reads it and it is necessary at least one mailbox per RX message. Veronte allows up to 32 mailboxes. The options available when adding a new mailbox are:

  • Mailboxes: number of mailboxes assigned to that ID.

  • Extended: select this option for 29-bit IDs.

  • ID: 11 or 29-bits (Extended) ID used to identify RX messages. The value set can be defined in decimal, hexadecimal or binary form.

  • Mask: This filter is configured for reception messages; received data will be stored on mailboxes where message ID coincides with mailbox ID. Mask adds some flexibility on the reception, when comparing message with mailbox data, only the value of binary digits configured as 1 on the mask will be taken into account. (e.g, for a configuration MASK: 11 000 and ID:10 110 all incoming messages addressed to 10 XXX will be received in this mailbox).

Warning

If any mailbox is full and another message arrives, the new message is discarded.
