Communicate to a Silkit CAN participant

[qureshiappliedev]

Hi Community,

I am new to Silkit environment and i want your suggestions on a use case. If i use fmu importer, i came to know that the variables (inputs/outputs) of a fmu gets exposed as publishers subscribers to the silkit. Is it possible that i create a can participant using the silkit sdk which subscribes to the publisher of fmu importer and publishes to the subscriber of the fmu importer and then parse this data in a payload of can frame to transmit and receive as a can controller. I am not too sure if this is possible or if i am on the right path. If yes please can you guide how to do it or direct me to the right direction.

Thanks

Hi @qureshiappliedev,

if I understand your use case correctly, the easiest way to accomplish what you described should be to make CANoe a participant of your FMUs Publish/Subscribe SIL Kit network. CANoe can represent the Publish/Subscribe data elements as Distributed Objects. If you also add CANoe as a participant to your SIL Kit CAN network you should be able to introduce a small CAPL node in CANoe which is extracting the CAN payload and forwarding it to the Distributed Object data element and vice versa.

I hope that general concept matches your use case.

Best regards
