Controller Area Networks (CAN bus) are robust bus standards created to enable microcontrollers and other devices to communicate through applications without requiring host computers. They are message-based protocols, which were initially designed for multiplex electrical wiring in automotive machines, but now they are proving useful in numerous other contexts. CAN is generally a serial communication network that essentially supports distributed control, as well as real-time control. In contrast to most RS-485 distributed systems, the CAN-based distributed systems offer numerous benefits in the following regards:
