CRC16 ISO 13239 Implementation

Question

i'm trying to implement Crc16 in C#. I already tried many different implementations, but most of them gives me different values. Here are some of the codes that i already used.

    private static int POLYNOMIAL = 0x8408;
    private static int PRESET_VALUE = 0xFFFF;

    public static int crc16(byte[] data)
    {
        int current_crc_value = PRESET_VALUE;
        for (int i = 0; i < data.Length; i++)
        {
            current_crc_value ^= data[i] & 0xFF;
            for (int j = 0; j < 8; j++)
            {
                if ((current_crc_value & 1) != 0)
                {
                    current_crc_value = (current_crc_value >> 1) ^ POLYNOMIAL;
                }
                else
                {
                    current_crc_value = current_crc_value >> 1;
                }
            }
        }
        current_crc_value = ~current_crc_value;

        return current_crc_value & 0xFFFF;
    }

this is the another implementation that i used but both gives different values

    const ushort polynomial = 0xA001;
    ushort[] table = new ushort[256];

    public ushort ComputeChecksum(byte[] bytes)
    {
        ushort crc = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < bytes.Length; ++i)
        {
            byte index = (byte)(crc ^ bytes[i]);
            crc = (ushort)((crc >> 8) ^ table[index]);
        }
        return crc;
    }

    public byte[] ComputeChecksumBytes(byte[] bytes)
    {
        ushort crc = ComputeChecksum(bytes);
        return BitConverter.GetBytes(crc);
    }

    public Crc16()
    {
        ushort value;
        ushort temp;
        for (ushort i = 0; i < table.Length; ++i)
        {
            value = 0;
            temp = i;
            for (byte j = 0; j < 8; ++j)
            {
                if (((value ^ temp) & 0x0001) != 0)
                {
                    value = (ushort)((value >> 1) ^ polynomial);
                }
                else
                {
                    value >>= 1;
                }
                temp >>= 1;
            }
            table[i] = value;
        }
    }

The value I`m using is an Octet String "[jp3]TEST [fl]Flashing[/fl]" and its expected value is 95F9 in hex. This is an example on the guide of NTCIP protocol

Thanks

{
    byte[] pattern = new byte[] { 0x02, 0x07, 0x01, 0x03, 0x01, 0x02, 0x00, 0x34, 0x07, 0x07, 0x1C, 0x59, 0x34, 0x6F, 0xE1, 0x83, 0x00, 0x00, 0x41, 0x06, 0x06, 0x7B, 0x3C, 0xFF, 0xCF, 0x3C, 0xC0 };

    // http://www.ite.org/standards/1203v03-04%20Part%201%20dms2011.pdf
    // Page 158, CRC = 0x52ED
    ushort fcs = compute_fcs(pattern); // 0x52ED
}

will work for the only test given here http://www.ite.org/standards/1203v03-04%20Part%201%20dms2011.pdf (around page 158, CRC = 0x52ED).

For the string example of the PDF, as written some pages later:

" Indicates the CRC-16 (polynomial defined in ISO/IEC 3309) value created using the values of the dmsMessageMultiString (MULTI-Message), the dmsMessageBeacon, and the dmsMessagePixelService objects in the order listed, not including the OER type or length fields. Note that the calculation shall assume a value of zero (0) for the dmsMessageBeacon object and/or for the dmsMessagePixelService object if they are not supported

(emphasis added)

so:

string str = "[jp3]TEST [fl]Flashing[/fl]";
var bytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(str);
Array.Resize(ref bytes, bytes.Length + 2);

// Note that these two rows are useless, because the Array.Resize will have already filled with 0
bytes[bytes.Length - 2] = 0; // dmsMessageBeacon
bytes[bytes.Length - 1] = 0; // dmsMessagePixelService 

ushort fcs2 = compute_fcs(bytes); // 0xF995
var bytes2 = BitConverter.GetBytes(fcs2); // 0x95 0xF9

This shows that the protocol is little endian (as my PC, that is an Intel). In fact the CRC-16 of the string is 0xF995, but these 16 bits in memory appear as 0x95 0xF9 (as in the example, that shows the single bytes).

Answer 2

There are many algorithms of CRC-16 calculation.

For instance:

• CRC-16-IBM which used in Modbus protocol, USB etc. is most popular.
• CRC-16-CCITT used in Bluetooth.

I use CRC-16-IBM in my applications which work with industrial controllers.
