Comments to CiA documents
CiA is committed to improve permanently its technical documents. Therefore, we would like to receive (technical and editorial) comments from the CAN community. They are observed and considered in the next technical group meeting (please, use our Word comment template file).
iCC proceedings online
The proceedings of the international CAN Conference (iCC) 2020 comprise 23 papers, which now can be downloaded free of charge.
The problems are solved, not by giving new information, but by arranging what we have known since long.
CiA community
The CAN community is huge. More than two billion of CAN nodes are installed annually. And this figure is still growing. The number of CAN fellows organized in the nonprofit CiA users’ and manufacturers’ group is much smaller. Due to new CAN data link layer (CAN XL and CAN FD Light) and new CAN physical medium attachment developments (CAN SIC and CAN SIC XL), the membership is growing, too. There are also new members interested in CiA profile developed for new markets such as battery management, fire-fighting equipment, etc.
“We take the already existing ideas in communication technology as well as in human communication, arrange them newly, and new specifications and recommendations are born,” said Holger Zeltwanger, CiA Managing Director.
