CAN bus (Controller Area Network)

CAN bus (Controller Area Network) is a communication system used in vehicles and machinery that allows multiple electronic components, like sensors and controllers, to exchange data quickly and reliably over a shared network. Instead of connecting each device with individual wires, they’re linked through a single bus, reducing complexity and weight. This system ensures all parts can coordinate operation efficiently, enhancing safety, performance, and diagnostics. CAN bus is robust against electrical noise and faults, making it a trusted standard for modern automotive and industrial electronics.
