CAN

CAN

- CAN is a serial communications protocol in compliance with relevant ISO standards.
- With its high bit rates, CAN enables quick, large-volume data transmission/reception.
- Based on continuous change in bus level (logical signals: low "0" and high "1") stemming from voltage difference between CAN_High and CAN_Low, data and other frames are configured for message identification.
- If an error is detected, CAN's fault confinement feature prevents the error from impacting units.
- If an error is detected, an error frame (notification that an error has been detected) is sent to units, telling them not to perform control based on data including errors.
- Depending on the status of the error detected, transmission/reception of the relevant data will be aborted.
