CAN on the web
More information on the topic CAN are to be found on these websites:
The association of manufacturer and user CAN in Automation offers a wide range of information on the topic. Especially interesting is the overview of higher protocols (e.g. CANopen, DeviceNet).
The Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA) publishes information and a well equipped product database for the protocol DeviceNet.
The company Bosch is essentially the founder of the CAN-technology. These websites from Bosch are the first source for answers in regards to controller and license regulations.
The chip-lab Infineon offers in addition to the data sheets for CAN-controller some interesting application references, e.g. auto-baud rate-detect.
http://developer.intel.com/design/auto/docs_auto.htm These are the datasheets to the Stand-Alone Controller AN82527 from Intel.
http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/buses/can/ The CAN-Transceiver-Chips from Philips are designed for a physical connection in accordance with ISO 11898. Philips has also very goos application references in regards to Physical Layer.
The CAN pages from Mike Schofield are a good starting point to make oneself familiar with the basics of the technology.
The search engine eg3 is a rich source for information to Embedded Control. Eg3 has even a special directory for the CAN-topic.
Do you have knowledge of other sources on the internet in regards to CAN? Please let us know about them and send your information to info@microcontrol.net.
