The Controller Area Network (CAN), initially developed for the automotive industry, is becoming increasingly popular in industrial process control applications. The need for distributed low data rate monitor and control networking in industry is similar to the needs of the various instrumentation and support equipment in a modern radio telescope. In particular, immunity to noise and low radio f...

The Controller Area Network has a maximum transmission rate of 1 Mbitk and its fixed priorities-based medium access control limits the maximum bus utilisation when timeliness guarantees are required. An implementation of earliest deadline first (EDF) message scheduling on CAN, based on the F’IT CAN protocol, is presented, which allows higher utilisation factors with timeliness guarantees. The a...

The development of chassis dynamometer of hybrid vehicle based on CAN bus was studied. Chassis dynamometer of hybrid vehicle measurement methods and loading devices are analyzed, and laid the foundation for the resistance simulation of chassis dynamometer. Road resistance simulation on HEV chassis dynamometer is researched, getting electric quantity simulation type of chassis dynamometer drivin...

The detection method of automotive controller area network bus is researched in this paper. Failure identifying of CAN bus under different working conditions has been realized. In order to realizing intelligent failure diagnosis, data fusion means has been put forward in this paper. The composition of analysis and detection system is introduced. By analyzing and processing the data of CAN bus a...

tthe uncertainty estimation and compensation are challenging problems for the robust control of robot manipulators which are complex systems. this paper presents a novel decentralized model-free robust controller for electrically driven robot manipulators. as a novelty, the proposed controller employs a simple gaussian radial-basis-function network as an uncertainty estimator. the proposed netw...

recently, data collection from seabed by means of underwater wireless sensor networks (uwsn) has attracted considerable attention. autonomous underwater vehicles (auvs) are increasingly used as uwsns in underwater missions. events and environmental parameters in underwater regions have a stochastic nature. the target area must be covered by sensors to observe and report events. a ‘topology cont...
