Introduction
 CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication technology used especially for reliable data exchange between electronic
controlunits(ECUs) in theautomobile.
 OriginallyintroducedbyBoschin 1983.
 PointtoPointwiringisbeing replaced byoneserial busconnecting all controlsystems.
 StandardizedbyISOandSAE.

CAN communication
Basicconcepts

CAN network

CAN BUS COMMUNICATION PRINCIPLE
DatathataretransmittedfromanyNode,containsMESSAGElabelledwithIDENTIFIER,which isuniquethroughoutthenetwork
 All other nodes receive the message and each performs an acceptance test on the identifier to determine if the message, and thus its
content,isrelevant tothatparticularnode.
Ifthemessage isrelevant, itwill beprocessed;otherwiseitisignored
 Allows integrationof additionalCANnodeswithoutrequiringmodificationof the CANnetwork.
 Themaximumnumberofnodesisnotspecified. Networksarelimited byelectricalloading,upto64 nodesisnormal

CAN FRAMES
Data Frame–Fortransmitting userdata
Remote Frame–Used forrequesting 'data frame' from any other CAN node
Error Frame–To indicate errors detected during communication
Overload Frame-To introduce delay in the transmission

BUS ACCESS IN CAN NETWORK

PRIORITIZATION OF CAN MESSAGES

CAN data protection
 Reliabledatatransmission.
 BecauseCANis alsousedin verytime andsafetycritical applicationswithinthe motorvehicle, requirementsfordataintegrity are
extremelyhigh.

NRZ Coding

BIT STUFFING

Error detection:
 Bit monitoring : Compares the bit and the bus level
 ACK Check : Checks for the dominant bit
 Stuff Check : Detection of sixth consecutive bit
 Form Check : Compares the bit stream with message format
 Cyclic Redundancy Check: Compares the bit stream with the generator polynomial

Error Confinement and Error states:
 Active
 Passive
 Bus OFF REC/TEC > 127
REC/TEC < 128
TEC > 255
Reset or Configuration of
128x11 recessive bits
REC: Receiver Error Counter
TEC: Transmit Error Counter
