The Electronic Control Units (ECUs) found in modern automobiles use a message-based protocol called the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus to communicate with one another in a dependable and priority-driven manner.
It is unnecessary to have a host computer for all network devices to receive the messages or "frames” between components. A comprehensive collection of international standards under the umbrella of ISO 11898 regulates the CAN bus protocol.
CAN FD is the "Flexible Data (Rate)" variant of the CAN bus. The maximum data rate has also been raised, going from 1 megabit per second (Mbps) to 8 Mbps. The standard length of each message has also been increased by 800%, taking it to 64 bytes. The term "flexible" refers to the capability of electronic control units (ECUs) to dynamically modify their transmission rates and choose larger or smaller message sizes according to the needs of the real-time system.
Applications for CAN are most common in the automotive and motor vehicle industries; nevertheless, this is not an exhaustive list of possible uses for the protocol. The CAN protocol finds use in the following domains:
Henry Ford installed lights and an electric horn in his automobiles. The electricity flowed from the batteries through the switches to the light. By the 1960s, every automobile had thousands of thick wires running throughout its interior. Every extra kilogram results in a decrease in the vehicle’s overall fuel economy.
As a result of the oil embargoes that occurred in the 1970s, there was a growing amount of pressure placed on the makers of automobiles to improve their vehicles' fuel efficiency. Original Equipment Manufacturers began looking for ways to minimise the overall weight of their vehicles.
As a result, the OEMs began designing the "Controller Area Network" in partnership with the vehicle manufacturer Mercedes-Benz, the semiconductor giant Intel®, and numerous institutions in Germany.
At the SAE Congress held in Detroit in 1986, Bosch was the first company to present the CAN standard. A year later, Intel Corporation started shipping the first CAN controller chips, which forever altered the operation of the vehicle industry. In retrospect, the weight reductions accomplished directly from CAN creation were a happy accident, but they were pretty accurate.
