CAN BUS

 Distributed computer power. A

number of computers control its
own part of the process
 These are connected over a
special data communication
network
 The technique is called Controller
Area Network, CAN
CAN BUS
 Developed by Bosch in
the early 90s for the
automobile industry
 Used by many other
industries
 Forest machinery
 Textile industry
 Traffic control
 Cranes
CAN BUS EXAMPLES IN CARS
 Anti Blocking System ABS
 Airbag
 ASR, Antispin system
 Service interval indicator
 Theft protection
 About 40 cables in the door
of the previous model
replaced by 3 cables in
VOLVO S 80.
CAN BUS Features
 Fast and reliable communication
 Reduced cable length
 Open system ( ISO 11898 )
 Advantage of having automobile
industry behind the CAN bus concept is
guaranteed long term development of
system
availability of components at low cost
CAN BUS Features
 Common electronic
components in all next
generation rigs.
 Common modules on the
rig
 Easy to add new options
 Built-in diagnostic
functions
 Different levels of
access
 PC Compatible hardware
 Reduced cabling
 RCS
 Up to 30 computers
connected together
over a CAN bus
 When the rig leaves the
factory, it is not only
filled with hydraulic oil,
diesel
and water, but also with
a number of computer
program. Until this time
the drill rig is ” brain
dead ”
