Controller Area Network (Can): Overview

The Controller Area Network (CAN) bus is a message-based protocol that allows control units and devices to communicate with each other using a shared network. With this system, control units of the various electronic systems are no longer interconnected by multiple separate cables. This does away with a large number of electrical connections and results in a reduced likelihood of failure of the device network.
