Quick Explanation
- Suppports the capability to program the static and dynamic slots used on bus channels
- Supports monitoring of bus channel and provides bus statistics
- Supports broadcast feature
Protocol
- ISO standards- ISO 17458-1 to 17458-5
Modal Link
FlexRay
VisualSim FlexRay Modeling library enables designers to model the FlexRay protocol accurately and to conduct network design trade-offs. It also enables a system designer to construct models of complex standard and non-standard FlexRay topologies. The FlexRay Bus Model is based on the FlexRay Protocol Specification V2.1 (2005).
Features
- Fully documented source code is provided along with the modeling library
- FlexRay protocol blocks can be modified to extend the standard
- FlexRay Node includes parameters such as burst size, maximum port queue length, number of static and dynamic slots, bytes per static and dynamic slot, and simulation time
- FlexRay topology can contain any number of nodes that transmit across the static and dynamic slots
- VisualSim contains FlexRay components such as Communication Controller, Node, Star, Dual channel, Traffic Generators, topology examples, and example systems including rollover prevention in Anti-Lock Braking System(ABS)
Working and Usage
- Each node can be associated with a sensor, ECU, attenuator or some other processing component.
- FlexRay network can be integrated with other vehicle, aerospace and industry network protocols to describe the full system.
Reports and Analysis
- Performance impact for different network topologies or parameter configurations
- Performance vs. reliability trade-off by using the Dual Channel for additional bandwidth or redundant links.
- Evaluate real-time performance impact of shared network topology and traffic loading.
- Evaluate proprietary or alternate extension to the FlexRay standard such as BMW ByteflightTM
- Evaluate system reliability by injecting an error into the channel or create downtime at a port
- Task Latency requiring data from multiple sensors
