ESS Site-specific EPICS module : ecmcPlugin_socketcan

# ScoketCAN

This module adds some CAN support to ecmc based on SocketCAN:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SocketCAN


# CANOpen

This module implements a few of the CANOpen functionalities (but it is far from a full CANOpen Implementation).

The current implemented features are:

* Simple master:

    * Simple LSS

    * Heartbeat

    * Sync

* Simple generic (slave) device

* SDO segmented r/w

* PDO r/w

These functionalities are configured through iocsh cmds:

* ecmcCANOpenAddMaster

* ecmcCANOpenAddDevice

* ecmcCANOpenAddSDO

* ecmcCANOpenAddPDO


## ecmcCANOpenAddMaster

Issueing "ecmcCANOpenAddMaster -h" in the iocsh you will get the following help printout:
``` 
    ecmcCANOpenAddMaster -h
       Use ecmcCANOpenAddMaster(<name>, <node id>,....)
                 <name>                     : Name of master device.
                 <node id>                  : CANOpen node id of master.
                 <LSS sample time ms>       : Sample time for LSS.
                 <Sync sample time ms>      : Sample time for SYNC.
                 <Heartbeat sample time ms> : Sample time for Heartbeat.
``` 

Example to add a master with LSS, sync, heartbeat sample time of 1s:
``` 
ecmcCANOpenAddMaster("ecmcCANOpenMaster",0,1000,1000,1000)
``` 

Note:: You can only have one master in each ioc (one call to "ecmcCANOpenAddMaster").

## ecmcCANOpenAddDevice

Issueing "ecmcCANOpenAddDevice -h" in the iocsh you will get the following help printout:
``` 
    ecmcCANOpenAddDevice -h
      Use ecmcCANOpenAddDevice(<name>, <node id>)
          <name>      : Name of device.
          <node id>   : CANOpen node id of device.

``` 
Example to add a device with node id 3:
``` 
ecmcCANOpenAddDevice("testDevice",3)
``` 

Note:: You can only use the below commands (ecmcCANOpenAddSDO and ecmcCANOpenAddODO) to nodes of an existing device or master.

## ecmcCANOpenAddSDO

Issueing "ecmcCANOpenAddSDO -h" in the iocsh you will get the following help printout:
``` 
    ecmcCANOpenAddSDO -h
        ecmcCANOpenAddSDO( in the iocsh<name>, <node id>,.....)
         <name>            : Name of master device.
         <node id>         : CANOpen node id of device/master.
         <cob id tx>       : CANOpen cob id of Tx of slave SDO.
         <cob id rx>       : CANOpen cob id of Rx of slave SDO.
         <dir>             : Direction 1=write and 2=read.
         <ODIndex>         : OD index of SDO.
         <ODSubIndex>      : OD sub index of SDO.
         <ODSize>          : OS Siz
         <readSampleTimeMs>: Sample time for read in ms (write is always on demand).
``` 

A few examples:
``` 
# Example read SDO from device, will be cyclically read at an intervall of 7000ms:
ecmcCANOpenAddSDO("analogValues",3,0x583,0x603,2,0x2640,0x0,56,7000)
dbLoadRecords(ecmcPluginSocketCAN_SDO_input.template, "P=${ECMC_PREFIX},PORT=${ECMC_ASYN_PORT},ADDR=0,TIMEOUT=1,T_SMP_MS=${ECMC_SAMPLE_RATE_MS},TSE=${ECMC_TSE},NELM=${NELM=1},CH_ID=03,DEV_ID=3,suffix=AI03-Array,source=basicConfig,DTYP=asynInt8ArrayIn,FTVL=CHAR,NELM=7")

# Example write SDO to device, will be written on demand (when write data from epics):
ecmcCANOpenAddSDO("basicConfig",3,0x583,0x603,1,0x2690,0x1,7,0)
dbLoadRecords(ecmcPluginSocketCAN_SDO_output.template, "P=${ECMC_PREFIX},PORT=${ECMC_ASYN_PORT},ADDR=0,TIMEOUT=1,T_SMP_MS=${ECMC_SAMPLE_RATE_MS},TSE=${ECMC_TSE},NELM=${NELM=1},CH_ID=03,DEV_ID=3,suffix=BasicConfig,source=basicConfig,DTYP=asynInt8ArrayOut,FTVL=CHAR,NELM=7")

``` 
## ecmcCANOpenAddPDO

Issueing "ecmcCANOpenAddPDO -h" in the iocsh you will get the following help printout:
``` 
    ecmcCANOpenAddPDO -h
      Use "ecmcCANOpenAddPDO(<name>, <node id>
          <name>            : Name of master device.
          <node id>         : CANOpen node id of device/master.
          <cob id>          : CANOpen cob id of PDO.
          <dir>             : Direction 1=write and 2=read.
          <ODSize>          : Size of PDO (max 8 bytes).
          <readTimeoutMs>   : Readtimeout in ms.
          <writeCycleMs>    : Cycle time for write (if <= 0 then only write on change).

``` 
An example:

``` 
# Read PDO, if not recived pdo within 10s the PDO object will go into error state:
ecmcCANOpenAddPDO("status",3,0x183,2,8,10000,0)
dbLoadRecords(ecmcPluginSocketCAN_PDO_input.template, "P=${ECMC_PREFIX},PORT=${ECMC_ASYN_PORT},ADDR=0,TIMEOUT=1,T_SMP_MS=${ECMC_SAMPLE_RATE_MS},TSE=${ECMC_TSE},NELM=${NELM=1},CH_ID=03,DEV_ID=3,suffix=PDO01-Array,source=status,NELM=8")
```

# Testing
You can use a virtual can, vcan network for testing:

## Prerequirements

Install can utils:
``` 
   $ git clone https://github.com/linux-can/can-utils
   $ cd can-utils
   $ make
   $ make install
``` 

## vccn setup
 Start virt can 0 (vcan0) and candump:
 ``` 
   $ sudo modprobe vcan
   $ sudo ip link add dev vcan0 type vcan
   $ sudo ip link set up vcan0
   $ candump vcan0
``` 
candump will start to printout the raw can meassages on vcan0 network.
