Embedded CANbus

Controller Area Network (CAN) bus dominates the automotive industry, and, since it�s a robust, error-detecting protocol, it�s also widely used in automation and control environments, ships, locomotives and medical equipment. A twisted pair multidrop cable is specified with a length ranging from 1,000m at 40Kbps to 40m at 1Mbps. All nodes on the network receive each message and then decide whether that identifier value is of interest.

Here you�ll find a compact series of CANcontrollerBOXes, intelligent CAN-USB converters, and CANlook software from Janz; CANstick � a CANbus OBD datalogger from IHR; and CANxtra a .Net development box with built-in CANbus port.
