Embedded control networks in mobile machines are often based on CAN. CAN FD offers a combination of increased data throughput and reasonable resource consumption. CAN XL has been developed for backbone networks. It provides the capability to run several applications in parallel. This allows the implementation of multiprotocol stacks, e.g. CANopen (FD), J1939 and proprietary ones. CAN XL may carry up to 2048 bytes per frame, at up to 20Mbit/s. It can serve as an ethernet physical layer and support ethernet security solutions. Nevertheless, CAN has evolved in a way that allows existing topologies to still be used.

• CAN-based networks can meet the requirements of embedded networking today and in the future
• High-level introduction to the different generations of CAN and how mobile machine system designers can benefit
• Which cybersecurity measures exist for CAN-based systems
• How to enable automotive concepts, adapted by modular machine manufacturers (e.g. Autosar) in CAN-based systems
• The scalability of CAN-based networking so that the control network can be adapted directly to the requirements of the mobile machine
