Abstract

Continuity of service and bounded and known message delivery latency, are reliability requirements of a number of real-time applications, such as those served by standard fieldbuses. The analysis and design of such networks w.r.t. timing properties has traditionally been based on no-fault scenarios, rather than under a combined performance and reliability perspective. We have shown in earlier works that the performability of fieldbuses in normal operation is hindered by periods of inaccessibility. These derive from incidents in the protocol operation that affect non-faulty components, leading to failures of the expected hard realtime properties of the network. This is specially relevant if the fieldbus supports critical control functions, as it does in many application settings (e.g. industrial, automotive, avionics, aerospace). As part of our endeavor to design a CAN-based infrastructure capable of extremely reliable communication, dubbed CAN Enhanced Layer (CANELy), this paper provides a detailed analysis of CAN behavior in the presence of inaccessibility, discussing a generic and efficient methodology to enforce system correctness in the time-domain, despite the occurrence of network errors. ©2006 IEEE.
