Your link appears to be broken. Correct me if I'm wrong but automotive (on-vehicle) network software/firmware modification is contrary to the terms of use and as such is off limits for further discussion. I could also make an argument that industrial networks like DeviceNet should maybe be off limits for the same safety related concerns.Automotive network software/firmware modification? Of course there are other applications. Look here.....

CANbus have other uses outside the automotive scope. As long as the OP do not turn this into an automotive topic. I see no problem in discussing CAN in this forum.Your link appears to be broken.

Yes, a CAN Bus Analyzer tool is useful for many purposes including troubleshooting an installation, finding faulty nodes, and commissioning devices. The OP was asking about something different which was "design and emulation software". As a CAN expert I have to confess that I don't know what such a tool would look like or what it might be used for..microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1406&dDocName=en546534
Here is the second attempt at pasting the link. put www in front of it. If it fails, do a Google search for "CAN BUS Analyzer Tool"
Yes, automotive topics are usually restricted due to safety concerns which is the reason I led of my first response the way I did. CAN BUS was developed by Bosch for the original purpose of automotive usage. Only later did it expand into other applications, which include industrial use.
When programming for intergration with remote devices, I often emulate the device for practical reasons. Add to that packaged code, and projects become much easier to implement.As a CAN expert I have to confess that I don't know what such a tool would look like or what it might be used for.
The actual CAN specification is a physical and link layer specification. It specifies the format or syntax of messages on the wire. It says absolutely nothing about the semantics (meaning) of the messages.the reason i was looking for this is so i could try and pay with it without actually damageing what i was plugging in to.
I have downloaded some demo programs such as Vectors CANoe but i must admit it all looks greek to me!
Is there a sort of idots guide to what CAN messages do etc?
Thanks for the help guys
and for the transport layer it's somewhat mute, however in implementing a specific protocol (Devicenet), validation must come from somewhere.I see the amount of effort involved in simulation/emulation as essentially equivalent to doing the work for the real device.
