CAN vs. Ethernet
Application
- CAN
- Small scale
- Great for embedded systems
- ECU's in vehicles are a great example of effective CAN usage
- Ethernet
- Large scale
- Perfect for automation and control of fabrication
- Connecting, controlling and monitoring all the machines within a factory is a great application for Ethernet
Cost
- CAN
- Low cost
- Small amount of software and hardware required
- With the small scale applications, CAN is a convenient option
- Ethernet
- Cost effective
- With ever decreasing costs Ethernet is a feasible option for large scale operations
- With the large amount of hardware and software required, which leads to unlimited custom options
Specifications
- CAN
- 1 Mbit/sec data transfer rate
- Useful integrated functions such as:
- Message collision prevention
- Error detection
- Data recovery
- Ethernet
- Up to 100 times faster than CAN communication
- With the software addons excessively available anything can be added, such as:
- Incorporated prioritization
- Data synchronization
- Error management
