  • Dynamic CAN bus system configuration and messaging
    Patent number: 7933998
    Abstract: A method and system for communicating over a controller area network (CAN) bus (14-22) enables messages to be routed from a controlling software component (46-50) to one or more processor-enabled peripheral devices (24-44) on a discrete basis over the CAN bus (14-22) to control the plurality of processor-enabled peripheral devices (24-44). By overlaying a hardware device protocol on a CAN bus protocol to realize CAN bus messaging, the controlling software components (46-50) can discretely communicate with the external processor-controlled peripheral devices (24-44) using the multiple multi-drop CAN busses (14-22).
