Discussion

For products which support multiple functions it is often difficult to meet a 50mS gap between messages.  This is recognized already in RV-C spec:

"01A-S-10 Message Gap :    A product with multiple functions or instances is allowed shorter gaps if necessary to comply with the reporting requirements of the status DGNs for its multiple devices. In no case may the gap be less than 5ms."

As written the proposal does not directly include acknowledgment of multi-function devices which may well need to have shorter message gaps;  present no different load to the CAN bus than multiple discreet products supporting the same combination of functions.   Can language be added to the new proposed 5.2.1 wording, in line with the above 01A-S-10 concept?
