FlexRay
Data transfer method
FlexRay uses the time trigger protocol whereas CAN uses the event trigger protocol.
This enables the accurate data transfers according to the scheduling.
Image example of FlexRay time trigger protocol
The data of FlexRay is transferred in the slot.
The image of each role (EPS, AT, etc.) and the corresponding slot is shown in the following figure.
Image example of role of each slot
This enables "accurate data transfers according to a predefined schedule."
- Note -
Some parts of this site show only the outlines of the actual FlexRay standards to make them easily understood.
