Test Generation with CANoe pex or run The CANoe pex and CANoe run variants, which are lower-cost alternatives to the full version, can also be used to generate tests that check for CANopen conformity. All generation templates of the full version are available here. The only limitation is that it is only possible to test one CANopen device per test configuration. However, you can create as many test configurations as you like. The following properties can be simulated: > SDO Client/Server > NMT Status Machine > Heartbeat Consumer/Producer > Mapping the object dictionary of the simulated node > Saving configurations > NMT Master functionality per DSP302 > Configuration Manager (CMT) > LSS Master (LSS - Layer Setting Services) > PDO Communication Creating Test Sequences The user can put together test sequences from a series of prede-fined test functions. An example would be a test step used to Automatic Test Generation It is easy to generate test sequences for CANopen devices. The necessary test functions are identified and assembled into a sequence, based on device descriptions existing in standardized format (EDS files). CANoe.CANopen runs through these sequen-ces. check for the existence of an object in the object dictionary. The test step must still be parameterized before it can be used. For an SDO access the user must specify the Node-ID of the SDO server and the index and sub-index of the selected object. Once the test sequence has been prepared, a key press initiates generation of the associated test script. 3/20 All test results are conveniently logged and documented to a report file. The following test scenarios can be generated: > SDO protocol test > Receive PDO test > Send PDO test > “Hidden Object” test > Test of object access > Test of object default values Panel Support Automatic generation of panels simplifies simulation in a funda-mental way. Controls are only created for objects transmitted via PDOs. These objects may be accessed directly and conveniently via panels, without requiring user knowledge of their communication properties. Using these panels, direct and easy access to these objects is possible without requiring extensive knowledge of their communication properties. It is possible to carry out an operating Fire department turntable ladder as an application example: CANoe takes over the partial simulation of the CANopen network being built as well as the gateway function to the commercial vehicle. Color highlighting of CANopen services in the new Trace Window accelerates bus analysis.
