DS3820EPSA is a High Speed CAN Bus Interface Module developed by GE under Mark IV system. The CAN protocol is a widely used communication standard in the automotive and industrial industries, allowing devices to communicate quickly and reliably over a bus interface. The BIM is responsible for managing the communication between devices on the bus interface using the CAN protocol. It is typically implemented as a microcontroller or a specialized ASIC designed specifically for CAN communication.
Features
It supports both standard and extended frames, allowing for flexible and efficient data transmission. The protocol uses a message-based system, where data is transmitted in packets called messages. The BIM typically includes a CAN controller, which is responsible for managing the transmission and reception of messages on the bus. It also includes a transceiver, which converts the CAN protocol signals into the appropriate physical signals for transmission over the bus interface. A High-Speed CAN Bus Interface Module typically features the following:
