CanTpApi.Initialize takes very long (+30s)

[barry]

Any idea why the first time for every channel the cantpapi.init takes ages (+30s).... we have 4 can cards in our pc... so it will take up to 4x30s ....

Code is very simple ... see below ...

public int SetupCommunication(int channel)
{
//----------------------------
// setup uds connection
//----------------------------
byte canchannel = (byte)(0x40 | channel);

//init UDS connection

TPCANTPStatus sts;

// Connects to the selected PCAN-ISO-TP channel.
sts = CanTpApi.Initialize(canchannel, TPCANTPBaudrate.PCANTP_BAUD_33K);
Trace.WriteLine(string.Format("CANTP INIT : {0}",sts));

//do mappings
sts = CanTpApi.Reset(canchannel);
Trace.WriteLine(string.Format("CANTP RESET : {0}", sts));
sts = CanTpApi.RemoveMapping(canchannel, 0x24c);
sts = CanTpApi.RemoveMapping(canchannel, 0x64c);

sts = CanTpApi.AddMapping(canchannel, 0x24c, 0x64c,
TPCANTPIdType.PCANTP_ID_CAN_11BIT, TPCANTPFormatType.PCANTP_FORMAT_NORMAL,
TPCANTPMessageType.PCANTP_MESSAGE_DIAGNOSTIC,
0x1a,
0x1b,
TPCANTPAddressingType.PCANTP_ADDRESSING_PHYSICAL, 0x00);
Trace.WriteLine(string.Format("CANTP MAP1 : {0}", sts));

sts = CanTpApi.AddMapping(canchannel, 0x64c, 0x24c,
TPCANTPIdType.PCANTP_ID_CAN_11BIT, TPCANTPFormatType.PCANTP_FORMAT_NORMAL,
TPCANTPMessageType.PCANTP_MESSAGE_DIAGNOSTIC,
0x1b,
0x1a,
TPCANTPAddressingType.PCANTP_ADDRESSING_PHYSICAL, 0x00);
Trace.WriteLine(string.Format("CANTP MAP2 : {0}", sts));
return 0;
}

Hello,

we have tested your code on a PC running Windows 10 - x64 (PCI-Express FD), compiled with C++ and C#. Both works without problems, i.e. there is no delay at connect. Please check the following on your side:

• PCAN-Basic version being used. The last verison is 4.1.0. If your version is older, please update it.
• PCAN-ISO-TP verison being used. The last version is 2.0.0. If your version is older, please update it.

Which Windows verison and platform are you using? Please note that in some systems (Windows Vista, Windows 7) .NET Framework can sometimes get kind of corrupted, so things don't work propertly. Repairing or re-installing .NET may help.

We will update the APIs... they seems to be very old ... keep you posted...

Hi Barry,
We have similar issue, have you succeeded to solve it? We have installed the newest APIs but without success. Interestlingly is somehow related to the network connection. Some stations at development phase in the development shoplfloor never had this problem but once moved to production floor where the network is limited the issue started, but not all stations, this is again weird.

Hello,

are you also using the PCAN-UDS API?
