CANbus Tools for Industrial Networks

A visually working fieldbus system cannot be compared to maximum quality. The metrological quality evaluation is obligatory, in terms of a long-term data communication, which is safe and solid. The CANBUSview XL III affords comprehensive functions for commissioning and troubleshooting in CAN networks.

A Controller Area Network (CAN bus) is a vehicle bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other’s applications without a host computer. It is a message-based protocol, designed originally for multiplex electrical wiring within automobiles to save on copper, but it can also be used in many other contexts. For each device, the data in a frame is transmitted serially but in such a way that if more than one device transmits at the same time, the highest priority device can continue while the others back off. Frames are received by all devices, including by the transmitting device.
