  • Redundant CAN interface for dual actuation systems
    Patent number: 9860304
    Abstract: The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, an actuator controller that includes a first communication node associated with a first communication address, a first communication port, a second communication port associated with a second communication address, and a router. The router is responsive to messages received at the first communication port and the second communication port to route a first message received at the first communication port and including the first communication address to the first communication node, route a second message received at the first communication port and including the second communication address to the second communication port, and route a third message received at the second communication port and including the first communication address to the first communication node.
