Analysis of residual errors and their consequences in CANopen systems

Analysis of residual error and their consequences in CANopen systems

Residual error analyses for CAN networks have been performed for years. It is well documented, that commonly used equations do not fully apply for analytic computing of the residual error probability of CAN networks. Also too high bit error…
CAN physical layer, there is poor tradition in design of physical layer structures for industrial and machinery CAN networks

Physical layer really matters in CAN

Despite of the comprehensive knowledge of the CAN physical layer, there is poor tradition in design of physical layer structures for industrial and machinery CAN networks. Cables with "wrong" impedance (not matching with termination) are commonly…
