CAN Bus in automotive: - why?

At the beginning, each signal has its own electrical line wiring expense

Solution: bit-serial exchange of data via communication channel (BUS)

Today, serial bus systems offer:

- minimized wiring effort
- assure space requirement and simplify installation
- weight and error susceptibility
- data exchange in real-time
- high flexibility in relation to changes and extensions

bus: frame description

Message List
1/5 LIN

Identifier Field

Unique number on bus used to identify a frame and in message priority

The lower the numerical ID, the higher the message priority

Can be with: 11bits (standard ID) or 29bits (extended ID)

5/5 LIN

An error-detecting code used to detect accidental changes to raw data

ACK (Acknowledge)

Transmitter send a logic 1 and the receiver overwrite it with logic 0 if the frame is received without error

If any error on transmission, the ACK field remains logic 1 and transmitter repeats the frame

CANalyzer:

Comprehensive software tool with intuitive operation for

traffic analysis

communication diagnostic

data logging

stimulation (influence the data traffic by sending frames)

Widely used, primarily by automotive and electronic control unit suppliers, then
used in rail transportation, avionics, medical technology and heavy-duty vehicles

First version of Vector CANalyzer released in 1992 (the worlds first CAN software tool)
