Description
Springer Can System Engineering From Theory To Practical Applications 2007 Edition by Wolfhard Lawrenz
A comprehensive account of how controller area networks can be designed and applied in a wide variety of industrial settings. Beginning with the basic theory of industrial control systems the book provides simple examples of networked systems. Then step by step readers are shown how to apply CAN systems and how to test them. It covers: CAN chip implementations CAN chip programming CAN hardware design CAN system testing and wiring and CAN applications. The author is a widely recognised expert in this technology with extensive experience in companies ranging from Intel Motorola and IBM through to Volkswagen and Bosch. He provides examples from industries such as textiles elevators milling machines excavators and dental chairs. Table of contents : Introduction. Basic communication protocol characteristics. CAN architecture. CAN chip implementation and basic software routines. The CAN pyhsical layer. CAN 'higher layer' application interface. CAN application examples. Can testing techniques. CAN future trends.
