Description
The CAN bus (Controller Area Network) is one of the most important technologies in modern automotive and industrial systems. Without it, today's vehicles simply could not function: the engine, ABS, airbags, infotainment, climate control, and dozens of other systems communicate through this network.This course is designed to give you a complete and practical introduction to CAN bus technology, starting from the basics and gradually moving to more technical details. You will discover why CAN bus was invented, how it solved the problems of traditional wiring, and why it became the worldwide standard for in-vehicle communication.We will explore the structure of a CAN network, analyze a CAN frame field by field, and explain how arbitration, priority management, and error handling work in practice. You will also learn about logic levels, termination resistors, noise reduction techniques, and electromagnetic interference, as well as the limitations of speed and cabling in real applications.The course includes clear explanations, visual diagrams, and practical examples, making even complex concepts easy to understand. No prior knowledge of CAN bus is required: a basic understanding of electronics and computers will be helpful, but the course is suitable for beginners.Whether you are an engineering student, technician, automotive professional, or simply curious about how vehicles communicate, this course will give you a solid foundation in CAN bus technology and prepare you to apply this knowledge in study, work, or further training.
