Controller-Area-Network

Originally developed for use in automotive applications, CAN (Controller Area Network) has become the de-facto communication standard in vehicles and mobile systems, as well as in any kind of distributed embedded system.

This book teaches the reader the basics necessary to understand and implement the application of CAN-based data communication systems.

The main focus of the book is an introduction to the physical and data link layer of the CAN protocol. In addition, a description of the general architecture of CAN protocol controllers is provided, together with details of the most important CAN chips available on the market.

Another focus of the book is an introduction to the most important CAN-based higher layer protocols, especially CANopen and DeviceNet. Finally, general aspects for the design and implementation of CAN-based networks, as well as hardware and software components and development tools, are described.

About the Editor

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Konrad Etschberger teaches real-time systems and industrial communication at the University of Applied Sciences in Weingarten, Germany. He has been involved in the design, development and application of CAN technology in industrial and automotive applications since the first CAN chip became available. In 1994 he published his first book about CAN, in 2000 a second, completely revised and extended edition followed.

In 1987 he founded stzp, a technology transfer company which was one of the first CAN pioneers. In 1980 the activities of stzp were transferred to IXXAT Automation GmbH, Weingarten, a leading provider of CAN and TCP/IP-based products, system designs and solutions.
