Controller Area Network (CAN)
Abstract
The controller area network (CAN) is heavily used in industrial automation and for communication between many microprocessors in modern automobiles. This chapter describes how CAN allows many devices to communicate over a two-wire bus in electrically noisy environments. Sample code is given demonstrating how the special function registers (SFRs) are used in conjunction with CAN transceiver chips to transmit and receive messages over the CAN bus.
