Design of a CAN Card Model Based on KD-DRT

With the widely use of CAN in the industrial control field, means of transportation, and so on, it is significant to improve the performance of the corresponding simulation platform to make them be more useful for simulating the systems using CAN cards. Firstly, this paper introduces the overall structure of the KD-DRT simulation platform and the characteristic of CAN. Second, determines the form of the CAN card model according to demand. Then designs the CAN card model in 3 respects: the inner structure of a CAN node, variables and API functions. Finally, analyses the main workflow of the model.
