MCAN implements a timeout counter that is programmed during the INIT phase for the module. The timeout function can be continuous (preset by writing to TOCC.TOP on a periodic basis before it expires) or associated with Tx, Rx0 or Rx1 FIFOs (a FIFO empty presets the counter and first push starts the down counting). A CAN system implementing a periodic messaging can use the timeout diagnostic to ascertain the presence of a system heart beat.
