Controller Area Network (CAN) is a multicast, shared serial bus standard for connecting electronic control units (ECUs). CAN was specifically designed to be robust in electromagnetically-noisy environments and can use a differential balanced line like RS-485 or a more robust twisted-pair wire. Originally created for automotive purposes, CAN is also used in many embedded control applications (such as industrial and medical). Bit rates up to 1 Mbps are possible at network lengths less than 40 meters. Decreased bit rates allow longer network distances (for example, 125 kbps at 500 meters).
Two CAN units support the following features:
