communication errors detected and
CAN chip stops transmitting error
frames.
Cleared when error count returns to
normal levels or CAN interface re-
initialized.
BW indicates potentially serious
communication fault such as out-of-
tolerance baud rate or physical layer
error (electrical noise, signal
attenuation, intermittent connections
etc.).
<Card Name>_CAN_ER
BOOL
CAN Bus
Status
Word, Bit
8 (ER).
Set each time a CAN communication
error is detected. An excessive
number of errors indicates a faulty
physical media component (cable,
connector etc.) or excessive noise
from external sources (check cable
