CAN (Controller Area Network)
Controller Area Network (CAN) is a digital communication system used primarily in vehicles to connect various electronic components, like the engine, brakes, and airbags. It allows these devices to exchange information quickly and reliably without needing a central computer. CAN uses a network of wires and special short messages, ensuring all parts stay synchronized and can react to changing conditions in real-time. This setup simplifies wiring, reduces costs, and improves vehicle safety and performance by enabling seamless communication among different systems.
