Future of CAN-based embedded networks
The controller area network (CAN) is widely used in commercial vehicles. For example, it serves as an embedded in-vehicle network for diesel engine control. In body applications such as concrete pumps, excavators and cranes, it allows the safe and secure operation of the vehicle’s key application. But the requirements for embedded networking are increasing. For example, it needs to provide higher data throughput to allow autonomous operation, or sophisticated communication methods to fulfill the increased safety and security requirements. The presentation provides an overview of current developments in CAN, covering CAN XL, the CAN physical layer scalability, CANsec and CAN safety protocols.
