An Overview
The Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol is the backbone of the automotive and embedded systems today, proving excellent reliability, robustness and enabling real-time communication between multiple Electronic Control Units (ECUs) in an electrical noisy environment. As the technology evolves and develops around the automotive and embedded fields, demanding accommodation for multiple ECUs to be used for various functions, the expandable nature of CAN protocol, with its variable data frame length, and arbitration mechanism, efficiently adapts in accommodating multiple ECUs and working seamlessly in complex systems.
What you will learn:
- CAN physical layer signalling and differential logic.
- Dominant vs recessive bits and arbitration behaviour.
- Bit timing and synchronization.
- CAN frame structure and formats.
- CAN error counters and insider working.
- CAN error detection and handling mechanism.
Who this is for:
- Embedded software engineers.
- Automotive engineers.
- ECU and firmware developers.
- Aspiring students learning automotive communication protocol.
