The problem background

Create a new one today CANoe Simple engineering , Not directly in DBC Add inside Network  Node, Add... Is omitted in the middle Node Of IL The configuration file , As a result, the message did not follow DBC The definitions in send normally .

later , add to Node Of IL When configuring a file , Found that the file you can find is not dll Format （ When operating before , All are dll file ）, It is .vmodule The suffix . Searched all websites , Right .vmodule The introduction of documents is very few .

  chart 1  Node add DLL file

but Help The introduction of the document is relatively clear . So record here ,help In the document for .vmodule Introduction of documents .

Why： What's the use of documents （.vmodule: Module description file ） (Help file )

Put the conclusion first ： It's mainly for decoupling CANoe Project operation platform and project configuration , So that the same project configuration can be shared on different platforms .

Here is help Detailed description in the document .

Chinese translation ：

 Module description file (*.vmodule) Contains the file path and metadata of the module .

 The following module types are supported :
· CAPL DLL ：CAPL Dynamic link library 
· Moduling Library：  Modeling library ( Node layer DLL)
· C Library： C library 

 stay CANoe In the old version of , Module implementation ( for example CAPL DLL The path of ) Be input directly into CANoe Configuration file for .

 And because engineering implementation is usually specific to a platform , This makes it very difficult to exchange configurations between different platforms 
( for example ：Windows 32 Bit and  64 Bit or Linux 64 position ).

 therefore , from CANoe edition 12.0 SP3 Start , You can enter the module description file in the configuration , Rather than specific implementation .
 This module description file can contain the file path of the implementation of different platforms .

 from CANoe edition 13.0 Start , It can also be specified with the application (CANoe) Related versions .
 This makes it possible to use different versions of DLL Or define the minimum version of the application .

Module type 1：CAPL-DLL

Module type 2：NodeLayer-DLL

  Module type 3：C Library

What： In short

in other words ,vmodule The document is the original dll file , And it doesn't just include dll file .

vmodule and dll All use xml File format and content .

what are you having? ： The contents of the document

The picture below is CANoe Sample Attached to vmodule file , It is also commonly used in simple engineering IL file ：CANoeILNLVetctor.vmodule(C:\ProgramData\Vector\AddOn Packages\Vector AddOn\vModules)

  You can find in the file , Except for the path 、 Version, etc , The main function is to IL The related functions of layer .

HOW- operation ： How to add for a node DLL/vmodule file

Yes 3 Methods , Can be passed separately Simulation and DBC File to add .

The first two are through Simulation Setup add to , among

• One is to add one node by one vmodule file
• The other is to add vmodule

The way 1： For a single Node add to

1.Simulation Setup Right click the corresponding node , Choose Configuration

2. In the 2 Tabs Components in , Click on ADD, Add the required files  

When I'm done , The configuration of the node is shown below （ The network is displayed as the current network name , And not remove？）：

The way 2： Add by channel

If all nodes in the same channel , Use the same vmodule file , Then you can use this method to add .

Pictured , Right click the channel node and select Assign Module to all Network Nodes, Just select the required file .

After adding using this method , Click on a single node configuration as follows ：

The way 3：  adopt DBC Definition add

If DBC file ：

• Is based on IL Of DBC templated
• DBC Defined in Network Node node
• take DBC File import to Simulation Setup when , Also synchronize nodes (Node Synchronization) Imported project

  chart 2 be based on IL newly build DBC

chart 3 DBC Well defined Network Node And Message Signal Send receive relationship of

  chart 4 Node Synchronization

that node Nodes do not need to be added in the above two ways IL To configure , Check the configuration , You can find that you already have IL To configure .

When When do I need to add this configuration file

The configuration file used here is IL file ,IL File is used to define message、signal The way of sending .

in other words , If needed DBC To simulate or test the signal transmission mode defined in , Then you need to add this configuration file ,

And if you don't need to use DBC Defined in the , Just rely on manual sending , such as

• adopt panel Click on the panel to control sending ,
• adopt IG The node sends
• adopt CAPL Programmed transmission

Then do not add this configuration , It will not affect the sending and receiving of messages .
