The controller area network (CAN) microcontroller communication protocol is now ubiquitous in a staggeringly wide range of transportation and industrial control applications.

This fully revised and updated new edition addresses the various challenges and open questions relating to CAN communication networks. Opening with a short introduction into the fundamentals of CAN, the book then examines the problems and solutions for the physical layout of networks, including EMC issues and topology layout. Additionally, a discussion of quality issues with a particular focus on test techniques is presented. Each chapter features a collection of illuminating insights and detailed technical information supplied by a selection of internationally-regarded experts from industry and academia.

Topics and features: presents thorough coverage of architectures, implementations and application of CAN transceiver, data link layer and so-called higher layer software; explains CAN EMC characteristics and countermeasures, as well as how to design CAN networks; demonstrates how to practically apply and test CAN systems; includes examples of real networks from diverse applications in automotive engineering, avionics, and home heating technology; includes a glossary of abbreviations, and a useful bibliography.

This comprehensive text will be an invaluable guide/reference for electronic engineers working with industrial control systems.

Industry Reviews

From the book reviews:

"This edition comprises six chapters that cover the architecture, physical layer, data link implementation, higher-level protocols, applications, and testing. ... Each of the six chapters provides a clear exposition of its subject. ... All in all, this would be a welcome addition to one's bookshelf and could be useful in an upper-level university course." (J. S. Edwards, Computing Reviews, June, 2014)
