Abstract
The variety and magnitude of controller area network (CAN) applications are huge, knowing that more than 1 billion CAN chips are produced and applied every year. As such, some very much differing but exemplary applications are depicted in this chapter: an application of CAN together with other communication protocols for automotive passenger cars. In this state-of-the-art application, communication protocols are applied in conjunction with the AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture (AUTOSAR) higher layer protocol. A typical safety-relevant application for time-triggered CAN (TTCAN) is outlined for automotive breaking and steering systems. Standard CAN, as a safety-relevant application, is used for smoke detection in aircraft systems. Finally, as an industrial control application for home electronics as a communication network for heating pumps, CAN demonstrates its robustness in the optimization of distributed temperature control.
