ABSTRACT

During the journeys at night times it may fail to know about the outer environment such as
vehicle data , place of journey and so on, since the interaction between inner and outer
environment is closed.
In automobiles, the dash boards has many measuring units, such as Pressure gauge, Temperature
gauge with numerous cables for inter-connection, which leads to cable complexity, the physical
length of cables and other defects in communication.

To overcome those problems, the CAN Protocol based multiplexed system is proven for the
reliability and real-time performance of the data transmitted on CAN bus is appropriate to all
Vehicular Automotive applications.
Vehicle Buses..

Why buses in vehicles

Number of electronic equipment is increasing heavily in vehicles (expensive wiring)
Modern vehicles control system needs a lot of information from sensors
Easier fault diagnostic (tester can be connected to a single plug)
Wire Length
Proposed System will Overcome¦.
Existing protocols didnâ„¢t support multi-masters
Text based communication
Low baud-rates even at higher distances
Poor error detection & management
CAN Networking

KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF CAN

CAN means Controller Area Network
CAN is an asynchronous serial communication protocol
Multi-master concept
o CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Avoidance)
o Message priority
Object-oriented communication
No node addressing, but content identification
Real-time capability
Low message transfer latency
System wide message consistency
Error detection & management mechanism

Features of ARM Controller

Philips ARM7TDMI LPC2129 microcontroller with 256 Kbyte program Flash, 16 Kbyte SRAM,
and 2 CAN communication channels
Two interconnected CAN interfaces with advanced acceptance filters & Four channel 10-bit A/D
converter with conversion time as low as 2.44 us.

The Temperature Sensor

SCHEMATIC OF THE PROJECT

¢ The engine, airbag and displacement nodes are continuously monitored on priority basis.
¢ Engine temperature will be continuously monitored and when maximum heat reaches, the
coolant fan will be controlled.
¢ Front end pressure is monitored to activate the airbag control.
¢ Displacement is measured to display the place of travelling for the passenger attention.

FLOW CHART OF PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION

A Full-CAN protocol is implemented in a convenient embedded Microcontroller to automate the
dash-board display.
Every node of the CAN bus is controlled by the CAN transceiver MCP2551 chip.
Each analog inputs are converted to bytes of message like CAN headers and broadcasted to the
CAN bus.

CAN TRANSCEIVER
The CAN peripheral automatically scans every incoming CAN message and when an identifier
match is detected, the message is copied into the associated received buffer.

Scope of the Project¦

Implementation of advanced communication protocols in the automotive and industrial long
distance areas will much sophisticated and provides data monitoring with improved efficiency as
much as other communication protocols.
