Discover The CAN Protocol

The Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial communication protocol designed for reliable data exchange between electronic control units in vehicles, aiming to simplify wiring and improve automotive quality. Developed by Robert Bosch GmbH in 1986, it supports various applications beyond automotive, including industrial automation and medical equipment. Key features include multi-master access, error detection, and support for different data formats and topologies.

Controller Area Network

(CAN - ISO 11898)


Protocol
Ws CAN Protocol?
CAN is a serial communication technology
used especially for reliable data exchange
between electronic control units (ECUs) in
the automobile without using any host
computer.

CAN is a Message based Protocol.


Why CAN Protocol?
● CAN was first created for automotive use, so its
most common application is “In-Vehicle
Electronic Networking”.

● Purpose to replace complex wiring


harness with two-wire-bus.
● An idea initiated by Robert Bosch GmbH in
1983 to improve the quality of automobiles
thereby making them more reliable, safe and
fuel efficient.
● Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial
network that was originally designed for the
automotive industry, but has also become a
popular bus in industrial automation as well as
other applications.

● CAN is one of five protocols used in the on-
board diagnostics (OBD) vehicle diagnostics
standard.
Features of CAN Bus
1. The CAN protocol was developed by Robert
BOSCH & introduced in 1986.
2. It is two wired Protocol.
– CANH (CAN High)
– CANL (CAN Low)
3. CAN protocol is -
– Broadcost,
– Multi-master (priority based bus access),
– Half Duplex,
– Asyncronous serial communication protocol.
4. CAN Speed & Distance
– 1Mbps at network length below 40Meter's.
– Decreasing the bit rate below, longer network
distance.
● Eg: 500Meters at 125Kbps (Kilobit per second).
SLLA270 – January 2008
5. Max Nodes on CAN Bus
– Practically up to 30 nodes.
(When more than the 30 nodes are used on a bus,it is
recommanded that a transceiver with a high bus-
input impedednce).
6. CAN is available in two versions
– Standard CAN (Version 2.0A).
11 bit identifier.

– Extended CAN (Version 2.0B).


29 bit identifier.
7.To achive Design transparency and
implementation flexibility CAN has been
subdivided into different layers.
– Data Link Layer (ISO 11898-1)
– Physical layer (ISO 11898-2/3)
7 Layers of OSI Model

7. Application Layer

6. Presentation Layer

5. Session Layer
4. Transport Layer
3. Network Layer

2. Data Link Layer ISO 11898-1

1. Physical Layer ISO 11898-2/3


8. CAN standard supports several topologies.
Commonly used topology is Line / Bus

9. Low-Cost, Lightweight Network.

10. Standard CAN protocol supports 8 bytes


while CAN FD protocol supports 64 bytes in the
data field part.
11. Supports remote data request

12. Supports non-destructive contention-based


arbitration.
13. Supports auto retransmission of frames that
have lost arbitration or have been destroyed by
errors during transmission.

14. The protocol supports different error


detection capabilities such as bit error, ack
error, form error, CRC error and stuff error.
15. Every message has a priority, so if two
nodes try to send messages simultaneously,
the one with the higher priority gets transmitted
and the one with the lower priority gets
postponed.
16. CAN Data Format
– The message is transmitted serially onto the bus
using a non-return-to-zero (NRZ) format.
– As the name suggests, there is no transition
between same polarity bits.

Applications of CAN protocol
● Passenger vehicles, trucks, buses (gasoline
vehicles and electric vehicles)
● Electronic equipment for aviation and navigation
● Industrial automation and mechanical control
● Elevators, escalators
● Building automation
● Medical instruments and equipment
