The Benefits Of Controller Area Network - CAN Bus - For Embedded Applications
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Controller Area Network by Wilfried Voss. Controller Area Network, like any field-bus system based on serial communication, will reduce wiring, which was initially considered only as an advantageous side effect. Distributed control, i.e., the use of a multi-processor system, will consequently result in increased performance, and the vastly reduced costs [...]
