Broadcast Message
The HDV100A3 supports one broadcast message. Once configured by the host application, this message will be sent repeatedly by the HDV100A3 at a programmed time interval. This feature is useful to provide a “heartbeat” function to the J1708 bus with no overhead to the host application’s software. Sending 0 in the time value stops the broadcast message from being sent.
To start a broadcast message the time interval, message slot, priority, number of data bytes, and the data must be sent to the HDV100A3. Once sent, the HDV100A3 will send the message out on the bus at the specified interval. Existing bus traffic or any bus messages sent to the HDV100A3 from the host application take priority over a pending broadcast message.
Once a broadcast message is started the “Stop Broadcast 07” message must be sent before any changes to the broadcast message can be made. Changing from one time value (17) to another (37) without stopping the broadcast will cause the HDV100A3 to act erratically.
