The CAN and R Ladder technology
- The Controller Area Network (CAN) technology is a serial bus standard, originally developed in the 1980s by Robert Bosch GmbH, for connecting and interfacing electronic control units. CAN was specifically designed to be robust in electromagnetically ‘tough’ environments (i.e. cars). Although initially created for automotive environment, the CAN bus is nowadays used in many embedded control applications that requires strong protections against magnetic fields.
- The R-Ladder protocol is the equivalent of the CAN Bus protocol for car but with resistive transmission bus. This technology is especially dedicated to the automotive environment, using different protective methods against noise and interferences. Created to connect and interface all control units, the R-Ladder protocol offers a strong resistance to magnetic fields and other car disturbances.
The Parrot MULTICAN system operates with all kinds of steering wheel controls and is currently copatible with 15 car brands - please call for advice for which adaptor is suitable for your vehicle.
