Vehicle Application of Controller Area Network
The vast majority of control systems built today are embedded;
that is, they rely on built-in, special-purpose digital computers to
close their feedback loops. Embedded systems are common in aircraft,
factories, chemical processing plants, and even in cars - a single
high-end automobile may contain over eighty different computers. In
such settings, controllers often use shared networks to communicate
with each other and with large numbers of sensors and actuators
scattered throughout the system. The design of embedded controllers
and of the intricate, automated communication networks that support
them raises many new questions - practical, as well as theoretical
- about network protocols, compatibility of operating systems, and
ways to maximize the effectiveness of the embedded hardware.
The Handbook of Networked and Embedded Control Systems, the first of
its kind, provides engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, and
students a broad, comprehensive source of information and technology
to address many questions and aspects of embedded and networked
control. A carefully organized collection of important results, tools,
software, and technology, this work unifies into a single reference
many scattered articles, websites, and specification sheets -
information that might otherwise be difficult to find. Key topics and features include: This is an indispensable text for anyone interested in knowing
more about embedded and networked control systems. Researchers will
appreciate the handbook's up-to-date results in the theory of embedded
control; developers and users will value its information on
special-purpose computer hardware and operating systems modifications
that support real-time control; students will find the systematic
organization and wide coverage useful for learning and reference. Written for: Keywords:
