Book Description
Industrial engineers increasingly make use of microprocessors to monitor and control industrial processes. This book provides a comprehensive account of how CAN (controller area network) can be designed and applied in a wide variety of industrial settings. It covers thoroughly: CAN chip implementations, CAN chip programming, CAN hardware design, CAN system testing and wiring, and CAN applications. The author is a widely recognized expert in this technology with extensive experience in these techniques with companies ranging from Intel, Motorola, and IBM through to Volkswagen and Bosch. He brings to bear his expertise by providing examples of industrial newtorks from industries such as textiles, elevators, milling machines, excavators, and dental chairs. Beginning with the basic theory of industrial control systems, th book provides simple examples of networked systems. Then stepwise, readers are shown how to apply CAN systems and how to test them. As a result, electronic engineers working with industrial control systems will find this an important book to own.

Reader Reviews
First, this book is copyright 1997, and six years is a heck of a long time in this industry. Second, the book makes almost no reference to vehicle applications, which are a very important CAN applications and in fact where CAN started. For example there is no mention of SAE J1939 heavy truck bus standard, which is CAN based, and J1850 appears only once. Comment | | (Report this)
