Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) - Bus Arbitration
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Controller Area Network by Wilfried Voss. Since a serial communication system such as CAN is based on a two-wire connection between nodes in the network, i.e. all nodes are sharing the same physical communication bus, a method of message/data collision avoidance is mandatory to assure a safe data transfer and to avoid [...]
