CAN school training courses in Chandler, AZ (public, in-house or online)

The CAN bus Network has expanded past automotive applications and is now found in systems as diverse as industrial networks, medical equipment, railway signaling and controlling building services, to name a few. Each CAN system (or node) has its own set of requirements. This 20 minute session will discuss design trade-offs when developing CAN nodes with different requirements.

The Controller Area Network (CAN) has become an increasingly popular protocol for a number of different applications. This web seminar provides an introduction to CAN and will help you gain a basic understanding of this mature, robust serial protocol. Topics include a definition of the CAN protocol and what it incorporates; an investigation of the message frames; a look at the CAN bit time and its components as well as a brief overview of proper bit timing procedures.

This short seminar discusses protection methods for the Controller Area Network, or the CAN Bus. Topics include why CAN Bus needs protection to begin with and then identifies some common protection methods, which include cabling, filters, common mode chokes, split termination, MOVs and TVSs.

This web seminar is the fourth in a series of web seminars about the serial communication interfaces in the the dsPIC30F family of Digital Signal Controller devices. This session provides the attendees a basic understanding about the functionality and usage of the Controller Area Network (CAN) communication interface. The topics covered include the key features of this peripheral module, the processes of data transmission and reception through the CAN interface, as well as bit timing considerati...

The CAN protocol itself just specifies how small packets of data safely may be transported from point A to point B using a shared communications medium. It (quite naturally) contains nothing on topics such as flow control, transportation of data larger than can fit in a 8-byte message, node addresses, establishment of communication, etc. These topics are covered by a Higher Layer Protocol, HLP . The term HLP is derived from the OSI model and its seven layers.

Higher layer protocols are us...
