Description
SOF
Start of Frame
The SOF mark is used to uniquely identify the start of a
frame. SOF is not used for CRC error calculation.
DATA_0 -
DATA_N
Data bytes
Data bytes (8 bits); starting with MSB first; maximum
frame length including header byte(s) and IFR byte(s) but
excluding frame delimiters (SOF, EOD, EOF, and IFS)
and CRC byte is 11 bytes.
CRC
CRC byte
Cyclic redundancy check byte; generated at the
transmission and checked during reception.
EOD
End of Data
Indicates the end of a transmission by the originator of a
frame; directly after EOD an IFR can be started by the
recipient(s) of the frame.
NB
Normalization
Bit
Required for 10.4 Kbps mode only; follows after an EOD
and before an IFS symbol; defines the start of an in-frame
response.
IFR_1 -
IFR_N
In-Frame
Response
byte(s)
In Frame Response byte(s) (ID) can be sent by receiving
devices after the sending device has sent an EOD.
EOF
End of Frame
This symbol defines the end of a frame.
IFS
Inter-Frame
Separation
This symbol separates two consecutive frames.
idle
idle
The bus is idle if no transmission takes place.
