This article describes which CAN messages are transmitted from the VB3i when testing with 2 Target Vehicles within a ACC, AEB, BSD or FCW test.
It is possible to output the VBOX ADAS channels to a 3rd party data logger on the VBOX ‘VCI’ CAN port, which is as default assigned to the ‘SER’ connector.
If the 3rd party logger has a 9 way D-sub connector then a RLCAB019L cable should provide the required interface.
Note that when this CAN port is outputting CAN that the VBOX cannot log CAN signals via this port.
All standard and ADAS parameters are output in a set format, which is outlined in the ‘CAN Bus data format’ section below.
It is possible to change the ID of each output CAN message, via the CAN page of VBOX Setup Software.
CAN Signal Latency
In vehicle separation mode in ADAS testing, the VBOX unit will have the following CAN output timings:
The ADAS modes add the following delays to the standard CAN output (20ms if using Fixed delay):
- 1 Target Mode (no Moving Base) = 50ms
- 1 Target Mode (Moving Base) = 60ms
VBOX output CAN message is 5 ms in length at 500 kbit/s.
Standard ADAS CAN Data
Listed below are the standard CAN messages that are transmitted from the VB3iD-RTK in any mode of operation. The ID’s of the CAN messages can be configured through VBOX Setup Software if required.
All channels shown in blue are channels available when Twin antenna mode is enabled.
All CAN id’s highlighted in yellow are not subject to an additional 4 or 5 sample delay that is present when any ADAS mode is enabled.
