The Rise of the Automotive Intranet
In the Beginning…
In the Beginning…
• Fred and Barney’s ride would have had
ANALOG type gauges because they:
• Were simple
• Reliable
• Cheap
In the Beginning…
• Did I mention simple?
Functional, but no personality
In a word, BORING
Electronics changed things…
• But there were limitations
Lots of wires, lots of connections, lots of troubles
And important information traveled
S….L…O…W…L…Y…
Early Auto Comm Networks
• GM Assembly Line Diagnostic Link (ALDL)
– 160 Baud, might as well be handwritten notes
• J1820 Serial Data
– 10.4kb/sec one wire, 41.6kb/sec two wire.
– Phone modems are faster
• ISO 9141
– Used by Chrysler, European, Japanese
– 56.6kb/sec modem still beats it by a mile
• Slow speeds prevent fast data transfer
Enter Controller Area Networks
Controller Area Networks features
• All inputs and outputs to CAN system share a
common circuit, think of a race track
• CAN circuit is two wire, twisted pair of wires
to reduce electrical interference
• CAN L is low speed circuit at 250kb/sec, used
for body control functions
• CAN H is high speed circuit at 500kb/sec. used
for engine, trans, ABS, SRS controls
• CAN system will function if one wire damaged
