3.3 CAN Bus
3.3.1 History of CAN
The development of CAN began when more and more electronic devices were implemented into
modern motor vehicles. Examples of such devices include engine management systems, active
suspension, ABS, gear control, lighting control, air conditioning, airbags and central locking. All
this means more safety and more comfort for the driver.

tems (and their sensors) to exchange information. This was usually done by discrete interconnec-
tion of the different systems (i.e. point to point wiring). The requirement for information exchange
has then grown to such an extent that a cable network with a length of up to several miles and
many connectors was required. This produced growing problems concerning material cost, pro-
duction time and reliability.
The solution to this problem was the connection of the control systems via a serial bus system.
This bus had to fulfill some special requirements due to its usage in a vehicle. With the use of CAN,
point-to-point wiring is replaced by one serial bus connecting all control systems. This is accom-
plished by adding some CAN-specific hardware to each control unit that provides the ’rules’ or pro-
tocol for transmitting- and receiving information via the bus.
