Error Frame Format

The document discusses error frames in CAN protocol. [1] An error frame signals nodes that the current data frame is invalid and consists of an error flag, delimiter, and intermission. [2] The error flag can be either active (all dominant bits) or passive (all recessive bits) depending on the type of error detected. [3] When multiple nodes detect errors, their individual basic error frames superimpose to form a complete error frame on the bus.

Error Frame Format

AGENDA

• Understanding Error Frame


• What is Error flag and its types
• What is basic error frame and complete error frame
• How is error frame formed on the bus
• Different Use cases to demonstrate formation of error frame on bus.

Error Frame
Error Frame is one of the 4 frame types given in the CAN protocol

Error Frame Signals to other nodes on the network that current Data frame is
erroneous.

Any of the 5 CAN error upon detection by a node will result in destroying
current data frame by overlap of Error frame

To understand Error frame format we have to understand below three aspects:
1. Error Flag (Active and Passive)
2. Basic Error Frame
3. Complete Error Frame
Error Flag
 When a node detects any CAN error, it knows that the current Data frame is not valid. So the
node has to signal other nodes on the network.

 The Node signals the error to remaining nodes by a flag. This is called Error flag.

 Error Flag has to be noticed by all other Nodes and not be mistaken to be normal frame bits.

 So the format of a Error flag is chose in a way that such format cannot exist anywhere in a
normal data frame.  Violation of Bit stuffing rule.

 So Error Flag is 6 consecutive bits of same polarity. Depending on Polarity of bits, there are
two kinds of Error Flag
1) Active Error Flag : 6 consecutive dominant bits (000000)
2) Passive Error Flag : 6 consecutive recessive bits (111111)
Basic Error Frame

A Basic Error frame consists of 3 parts:


1) 6 bits of Error flag field
Active error flag : all dominant bits
Passive error flag : all recessive bits
2) 8 recessive bits of Error delimiter field. (1 + 7)
3) 3 recessive bits of Inter-frame space field.
Complete Error Frame

 Error Frame on CAN bus is combination of multiple basic Error frames by various
nodes. Superposition of all Basic error frames forms complete error frame on bus.

 After Error flag, 1st bit of Delimiter is sent by node. If it monitors a Dominant bit then it
waits till a recessive bit is monitored on the bus and then send remaining 7 delimiter
bits. Else if it monitors Recessive bit then sends remaining 7 Delimiter bits directly

Points to Remember
 Error frame signals the nodes that Data frame is invalid and hence not to process it.

 Error frame always is sent in between a data frame destroying it on the bus.

 Error frame consists of Error flag, delimiter and intermission.

 Error flag is designed based o violation of Bit-stuffing Rule

 Error flag can be active error flag or passive error flag.

 Passive error flag from a node can destroy only the data frames the node transmits

 Active error flag from a node can destroy the data frame the node transmits and receives.

 Base error frames from various nodes together forms full error frame on the CAN bus

 Once the error frame is finished the data frame shall be retransmitted again.
