CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK: SERIAL BUS COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL FOR NETWORKED EMBEDDED SYSTEMS FOR REAL- TIME MESSAGE TRANSACTION

Abstract

This article deals withThe Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial bus communication protocol primarily used in networked embedded systems for real-time message transaction in a small-scale distributed environments established among microcontrollers. Although originally designed for automotive applications, CAN is the de facto standard in a large variety of networked embedded systems such as production machinery, medical equipment, building automation, weaving machines, and wheelchairs.Its robustness, reliability and the large following from the semiconductor industry are some of the benefits with CAN
