• Maximum number of the send messages is 10.

• Accuracy of the time is +- 2ms

• Minimum time interval for sending is 2 ms, but it is recommended to use intervals > 10ms.

• Used CAN channel must be initialized before initialization of the time triggered messages.

• Function block instance must be called at least every 100 ms, otherwise message sending is stopped.

• Function block must be called every 100 ms, otherwise the firmware stops sending of the message. Data can be kept same between calls.
