Sending CAN messages in sequence

[kubamtx]

Hi
I have 5 messages in my CAN transmit list. One is to close Pre-charge relay, second to close both pre-charge and main relay, third is to close main relay and open pre-charge relay, and last is to open both relays.
To start the procedure I have to send this messages in sequence.
I have to close pre-charge relay and keep it closed for 4 sec.
Then I have to send message close both relays and keep 1 sec and then open pre-charge relay and keep main closed.
I don't know how to do this using one defined button.
I'm pretty sure that I have to define signals (one for each can message) and then make something to send them in sequence- but what?
My can messages are simple, CAN ID for all is the same and just first BIT is changing.
Please help.

Hi,
you could simply use Standard Macros in PE4/5:
* Create a new project
* Add a Standard Macro (*.std)
* Add your sending sequenz (line by line)
Syntax:
Function BUS ID DLC DATA
Send 1 101h 3 AAh BBh CCh
sample:

Code: Select all

// PCAN-Explorer Macro File

FormatVersion=5.0

      PrintToOutputWindow "Data transmission..."
      WaitKey
	      Call SubA
	      Wait 10
	      Call SubB
      Repeat
      
      //  Bus ID   DLC  Data
SubA:  Send 1  100h  2   12h 34h
	  Wait 10	//Wait 10ms 
      Send 1  101h  3   AAh BBh CCh
      Wait 5	//Wait 5ms 
      Send 1  112h  6   FDh ACh 34h E1h CDh 44h
      Wait 20	//Wait 20ms 
      Send 1  1D2h  4   34h E1h DCh 44h
      Return

      //  Bus ID   DLC  Data
SubB: Send 1  110h  2   12h 34h
	  Wait 10	//Wait 10ms 
      Send 1  111h  3   AAh BBh CCh
      Wait 5	//Wait 5ms 
      Send 1  122h  6   FDh ACh 34h E1h CCh 44h
      Wait 20	//Wait 20ms 
      Send 1  130h  4   34h E1h CDh 44h
      Return

You also could simply add this Macro to a Function KEY on your PC by add a section to your Symbols File:
Sample using F5 to start a Macro called "MyMacro"

Code: Select all

{MACROKEYS}
F5=MyMacro

Hi
Many thanks for fast answer.
I'm completly new in writing macro files in this language.
Can you also send me a sample how to send one can message for 4 seconds with 250ms interval and then stop?
