Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) - Error Detection And Fault Confinement
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Controller Area Network by Wilfried Voss. The CAN standard utilizes a series of error detection mechanisms, which contribute to its high level of reliability and error resistance (see following Chapter - Error Detection). The reliability of CAN has been calculated in a mathematical model. Here is an example using the following [...]
SAE J1939 Transport Protocol (TP) Functions
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Guide To J1939 by Wilfried Voss. Even though extremely useful in passenger cars and small industrial applications, CAN alone was not suitable to meet the requirements of truck and bus communications, mainly since its communication between devices is limited to only 8 bytes per message. However, it is possible [...]
