CAN means
real-time
|
|
|
|
• |
maximum data rate
is 1 MBit/s @ 40m bus length
|
|
|
(still about 40
kBit/s @ 1000m bus length)
|
|
|
|
• |
Short message
length (0 to 8 data bytes / message)
|
|
|
(Larger data can
be split up into several messages)
|
|
|
|
• |
Low latency
between transmission request and actual start of transmission
|
|
|
• |
Bus access
handled via CSMA/CD w/ AMP method (message with the
|
|
|
highest priority
wins arbitration without losing any time)
|
|
|
| q |
CAN is
flexible
|
|
|
|
• |
CAN allows
Multi-Master Operation
|
|
|
(every CAN node
is able to access the bus individually)
|
|
|
|
• |
CAN Nodes can
easily be connected / disconnected
|
|
|
(i.e. plug &
play)
|
|
|
|
• |
Number of nodes
not limited by the protocol
