Description
The idea of the CAN bus is getting 30 years old in 2013. Within this time the CAN bus has not only established itself as the standard communication protocol in automotive networks but is also in use in aerospace or industrial applications. Although there are also other bus systems used in these areas, the CAN bus will still keep its strong market position for quite a while. With the CAN-FD technology the capabilities of the CAN bus are expanded and make it even more interesting, also for other industries than automotive.
Being involved in the development of the CAN bus from the very beginning Vector was also the first company with a CAN tool on the market called CANalyzer. Since over 25 years Vector continuously expanded its tool suites and adapted it to the needs of the market to become one of the leading tool suppliers for the automotive industry. Today’s tools for (bus) analysis, simulation and automated testing are not only limited to CAN but are also capable of other busses and protocols like e.g. Flexray, MOST, IP/Ethernet, AFDX, CANaerospace, ARINC8xx, ARINC429 or CANopen.
