10-1 Est Can Bus

The document discusses CAN (Controller Area Network), a network that allows electronic controllers in vehicles to communicate and share information. Some key points: - CAN was developed in 1984 by Bosch and Intel to connect controllers via a data bus, reducing wiring compared to conventional methods. - It allows electronic components to replace mechanical ones, providing more features, comfort and safety from inside the vehicle. - Benefits include reduced wiring, increased reliability, sharing of sensor information between controllers, and better diagnostics. - The network connects controllers via two signal wires, CAN High and CAN Low, with terminators at each end, and sensors and devices connect to controllers via discrete wiring.

CAN-BUS

DATA SYSTEM 07/08/08


What is CAN?

¾ It is a network connecting controllers on a machine, which


allows information to be shared among the controllers.
¾ It was first developed byy Bosch and Intel in 1984.
¾ It has been in use in the Automotive and Truck industry
since the late “80’s.
¾ CAN is short for Controller Area Network
Why have CAN:-

¾ Replacement of mechanical components by


electronic components.

¾ More comfort
comfort, safety and features from inside the
vehicle.

¾ Requirements can no longer be implemented by


conventional hard wiring.

¾ Linking various electronic modules with data bus,


gives us less hardware, and more software.
Benefits of CAN:

¾ Reduce the number of wires (quantity) and over all length


of wiring harness.
¾ To ensure all signal information is available to all
controllers on the network (sharing).
¾ Less wiring, less connectors, gives increased reliability
and durability.
¾ Multiple use of signals, therefore there are fewer sensors.
¾ Better and more exact diagnostic possibilities with EST.
