Martin Törngren · 1995
this paper is to present the Controller Area Network protocol (CAN), developed by Bosch and Intel for the automotive market and an ISO standard, from a number of perspectives on distributed real--time control systems. Section 2 provides the perspectives and in Section 3 CAN is presented and compared with FIP, the factory instrumentation protocol. Section 4 briefly presents essential design aspects for distributed control systems. Section 5 discusses the use of CAN as a basis for distributed control systems and Section 6 gives conclusions.
