Differences Between RS-485 and CAN-bus

Differences Between RS-485 and CAN-bus

In bus systems, both RS-485 and CAN-bus are commonly used buses, each with unique characteristics and application scenarios, widely applied. Today, let’s discuss their differences. 1. What is RS-485? RS-485 is a serial communication protocol that has been around since the mid-1980s, originally defined for industrial market applications. It uses differential signaling with negative logic, … Read more

Regular Maintenance Methods for CAN Bus Faults – Part 1

Regular Maintenance Methods for CAN Bus Faults - Part 1

When the CAN bus malfunctions or data transmission is abnormal, various strange fault phenomena often occur, such as abnormal dashboard displays, inability to start the vehicle, failure to turn off after starting, decreased vehicle performance, and loss of certain electronic control system functions. This is because relevant data or information is transmitted through the CAN … Read more

Common Maintenance Methods for Automotive CAN Bus Failures – Part 2

Common Maintenance Methods for Automotive CAN Bus Failures - Part 2

4. Short Circuit of CAN L to Ground When a short circuit occurs between CAN L and ground, due to the fault tolerance characteristics of the CAN bus, the entire CAN network may be unable to communicate or generate related fault codes. However, for certain vehicle models, such as Haima, the fault tolerance characteristics of … Read more

Impact of Not Using Termination Resistors in CAN Bus

Impact of Not Using Termination Resistors in CAN Bus

Before performing CAN bus communication, it is important to ensure proper bus configuration, such as termination resistors. They are crucial components that affect bus communication. Below, we will analyze the effects of not using termination resistors solely from the perspective of signal amplitude and time constant, without considering signal integrity. Termination Resistor Requirements According to … Read more

Common Faults of CAN Bus and Multimeter Inspection Methods

Common Faults of CAN Bus and Multimeter Inspection Methods

Detection Methods for CAN Bus ① Before checking the data bus system, ensure that all electronic control units (ECUs) connected to the data bus have no functional faults. Functional faults refer to those that do not directly affect the data bus system but will impact the functional process of a certain system. For example, if … Read more

Is CAN Bus a Digital Signal or an Analog Signal?

Is CAN Bus a Digital Signal or an Analog Signal?

1. What is CAN Bus? CAN stands for Controller Area Network, developed by the German company BOSCH, known for its research and production of automotive electronic products, and has ultimately become an international standard (ISO 11898). It is one of the most widely used field buses internationally. In North America and Western Europe, the CAN … Read more
