Bascially a can bus is one that permits the passengers to consume cans of beverage whilst onboard. Its most commonly used as a school bus as kids tend to drink cans of soda on the way to school.

Hope this is off help

In the US the term "can" is sometimes used as slang for the bathroom. In that case, I believe the "CAN bus" best describes the sewerage system of a city. Each home being a node and each toilet, urinal or bidet being an addressable point at the node. In this producer/consumer network, there are usually a multitude of producers and only one main consumer (the sewerage treatment facility). Occasionaly, during storms with heavy rains and flooding, the system becomes overloaded, the flow of data is reversed and the CAN bus is said to be full of sh**.

Yep, ndzied1 is exactlly right, I saw that problem last week.

Actually the Can bus will always take you on a positive ride and the Can't bus is always a negative ride. (Sometimes grounded but usually un-grounded.)

I think Google uses Norm's version of CAN Bus in their Tisp System...

You gotta be SHI**ING me.

When IF I get going on my electric vehicle project I will probably learn more about CANbus. Right now my only knowledge is that it is used to have vehicle components "talk with each other"

Would it be fair to say that a field bus is a vehicle that can be used in a field?

Yes thats the one. Is it digital? Could I use this to replace existing 4-2mA loops?
