Industrial engineers increasingly make use of microprocessors to monitor and control industrial processes. This book provides a comprehensive account of how CAN (controller area network) can be designed and applied in a wide variety of industrial settings. It covers thoroughly: CAN chip implementations, CAN chip programming, CAN hardware design, CAN system testing and wiring, and CAN applications. The author is a widely recognized expert in this technology with extensive experience in these techniques with companies ranging from Intel, Motorola, and IBM through to Volkswagen and Bosch. He brings to bear his expertise by providing examples of industrial newtorks from industries such as textiles, elevators, milling machines, excavators, and dental chairs. Beginning with the basic theory of industrial control systems, th book provides simple examples of networked systems. Then stepwise, readers are shown how to apply CAN systems and how to test them. As a result, electronic engineers working with industrial control systems will find this an important book to own.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Not for the faint of heart.,

This review is from: CAN System Engineering: From Theory to Practical Applications (Hardcover)
This book was hard to follow. As a mature and experienced hobbyest, I found the text totally lacking as far as providing what I needed to know, and lacking answers to questions I had about CAN. I think this would be a good textbook for the engineering student. It definitly is not for the reader who has only a casual interest in CAN.

This review is from: CAN System Engineering: From Theory to Practical Applications (Hardcover)
First, this book is copyright 1997, and six years is a heck of a long time in this industry. Second, the book makes almost no reference to vehicle applications, which are a very important CAN applications and in fact where CAN started. For example there is no mention of SAE J1939 heavy truck bus standard, which is CAN based, and J1850 appears only once.

Very solid CAN book,
By A Customer
This review is from: CAN System Engineering: From Theory to Practical Applications (Hardcover)
This book is very good for engineering professionals that want to design distributed embedded control systems based on CAN. It covers all the versions of CAN except TTCAN with is a fairly new concept. It explains in detail the whole CAN specification through all the network layers. It also covers all the major HLP's (Higher Level Protocols), but not enough to be used as a reference for a specific CAN HLP. This book is more of a primer on HLP's. If you are looking for a reference on any specific CAN HLP, look elsewhere. It has extensive coverage on the hardware implementation of CAN which is still valid at this stage; the hardware section might become dated in a few years as CAN semiconductor devices develop. The only negative point I have on the book is that some of the figures and diagrams are poorly formatted and it gives the book a somewhat unfinished look. The figures and diagrams are usable, but they don't look professional. This book will enable anyone with an engineering background to design and build a CAN network from scratch without any prior knowledge on CAN or embedded networks, like I have done.
