Controller Area Network (CAN) - Protocol D

The CAN protocol is an international standard defined in the ISO 11898. a

Beside the CAN protocol itself the conformance test for the CAN protocol
is defined in the ISO 16845, which guarantees the interchangeability of the
CAN chips. c

Principles of data exchange

l

CAN is based on the “broadcast communication mechanism”, which is t

based on a message-oriented transmission protocol. It defines message c
contents rather than stations and station addresses. Every message has a o
message identifier, which is unique within the whole network since it (
defines content and also the priority of the message. This is important when
several stations compete for bus access (bus arbitration).

As a result of the content-oriented addressing scheme a high degree of

system and configuration flexibility is achieved. It is easy to add stations to
