When using the node guarding protocol, the NMT master sends RTR frames to the
slaves, which have to answer within a defined time. If the answer is missing, this is
detected by the master. This protocol leads to a high dependence on the master.
A variation of the Heartbeat is the Bootup-Message. This type
is sent out once the encoder is started and includes no
information (Data is 00h). Only by interpreting the COB-ID
of the message, the senders Node-ID is obvious
(COB-ID = 700h + Node-ID).
5.6 Emergency messages
Failures of a CAN node are announced by emergency messages (EMCY message).
The EMCY message contains an error code identifying the problem. A node also can
be configured to send no EMCYs.
