Abstract (EN): For some years there has been a debate opposing event-triggered and time-triggered Traffic paradigms in fieldbuses. While the former is better suited to sporadic sources of information, the latter is more suited to periodic streams of information. However, for certain applications such as flexible real-time systems, a combination of both paradigms is desirable. The authors have recently proposed a new CAN-based protocol that supports time-triggered communication in a flexible way (FTT-CAN). It also allows an efficient combination of both rime-triggered and event-triggered traffic with temporal isolation. This paper describes the asynchronous messaging system of FTT-CAN which is responsible for the support of event-triggered traffic. Furthermore, a response time analysis is carried out concerning the handling of asynchronous communication requests.
