CAN stands for Controller Area Network Definition: Serial bus communication for real-time control application.

What do we mean by CAN? CAN is a communication across a pair of wires to different nodes/microprocessors Messages on the CAN bus do not carry addresses, only identifiers Every node sees every message on the CAN bus CAN is a differential signal on two wires

CAN (Controller Area Network) was created by Robert Bosch Gmbh in mid 1980’s Version 1.2 had 11 bit identifiers Version 2.0B released Sept. 1991 provided for 11 bit and 29 bit identifiers Base patent still held by Bosch

1983 Developed by Bosch 1987 First CAN chips by Intel & Philips 1992 CAN is introduce to automation 1992 First car with CAN (Mercedes Benz) 1994 SAE J1939 released 1995 ISO 11898 is released

Where is CAN used? General Applications – Cars – Packaging equipment – Medical systems – Photo copiers – Marine controls and navigation systems – Elevator controls HED examples – Military vehicles – Agriculture machinery – Construction equipment – On and off

11 or 29 bit identifier – CANOpen is only 11 bit identifier – CAN 2.0 is backward compatible

Different layers of CAN We are interested: – Physical – Data Link – Application All the layers together make up the OSI (open system interconnect) 2. Data Link Layer

CAN standardization CANopen application profiles Application Profile Device Profile DeviceNet device profiles Application Layer SAE J1939 -based application profiles Data Link Layer Physical Layer CANopen device profiles

Consist of the hardware needed to communicate from node to node – Physical/driver chip • Converts 1’s & 0’s to differential voltage – Twisted pair of wire – C

The layer that defines data, remote, error, and overload frames. Layer that turns the data into raw bits Also part of the error detection

Error Detection Bit Monitoring – Any node automatically monitors and compares the actual bit level on the bus with the level that it transmitted. If the two are not the same, a bit error is flagged. Stuff Error – If five consecutive identical bit levels have been transmitted, the transmitter will automatically inject (stuff) a bit of opposite polarity into the bit stream. The receive node will automatically de-stuff

Error Detection Cyclic Redundancy Check Field (CRC) – Every message transmitted contains a 15 bit CRC code. If the receivers calculate a different CRC, a error flag is raised. Form Error – Violation of fixed format Bit fields Acknowledge Error (ACK) – If a node determines a message has not been ACKnowledged then the ACK error is flagg

The application layer is the communication layer of the OSI. – Performs common end user services – HED application cod

High Language Protocols J1939 – Diesel engines, busses, fire trucks, cranes, etc… CAN Kingdom CANOpen – Used in Europe especially Germany DeviceNet – Used in USA and Asia for PLC controllers
