• CAN Bus Explained - A ...
_______________________________
What is CAN bus?
www.csselectronics.com/pages/...
In this intro we explain the basics of CAN, incl. advantages, history, messages and the relation to protocols like J1939, OBD2 and CANopen!
For a quick intro to our CANedge CAN bus data loggers, check out the below!
• CAN Bus Data Loggers |...
In short, the Controller Area Network (CAN) is a standard used to allow Electronic Control Units (ECUs) to communicate in an efficient manner without a central computer.
Messages are broadcast in a system that requires very little physical wiring making CAN bus low cost, robust and efficient.
Applications of the CAN protocol include in particular automotive (cars, trucks, buses, commercial vehicles etc.), but also e.g. boats, drones and industrial automation.

Thanks for a well-balanced introduction into this technology! I have an ODBII reader and have used it for both DTC retrieval but also for real-time data. The interesting thing about CAN is that it is similar to XTML scripting (website and other networked data) in the sense that it is eXtensible.... to a point. The data structure is familiar, especially to me via an understanding of the old AT telecommunications Command Set protocol. And I suppose if you know serial or parallel digital communications, PLC integration, etc... that is a help, too. BUT I could understand this even without that background- I needed the video to make the correlation between these. Thanks again!

How about a mention of the actual physical embodiment rather than showing pictures of totally irrelevant things. For a layman's intro, I still don't know how many wires, how long wires could be, what the voltage signal levels are, or if it is even voltage driven and not a current loop (ala MIDI). Otherwise a solid explanation of the data layer and the history.

And now also used in modern motorcycles also. Or maybe even snowmobiles and other more recreation type of vehicles. One thing I missed in this great and to the point video is why we don't use one main ECU, or computer if you will. I think I know the answer though. One of them is redundancy and thus making systems still functioning to some degree. Can someone verify my "theory"?

@richardjelinek5038 3 жыл бұрын

Among your key reasons "#2 Centralized" is quite wrong as it's pretty much the opposite. CAN bus is a multi-master (= decentral) bus system. The feature "allows for central diagnosis and configuration" is simply because you can plug in "just another node" that listens to the bus and interprets messages. And - because it is decentral - can also send (configuration) messages.

@CSSElectronics-CAN-Logger-X000 2 жыл бұрын

You're right that it can seem misleading, the centralized is indeed referring to the fact that you can access the entire CAN bus via a single entry point, rather than e.g. having to go node-by-node. But it's valid feedback that we'll consider :-)
