OpenLCB Bibliography

This is a collection of references that various OpenLCB developers have found useful. Comments are the opinions of their authors only; reasonable people can differ.

CAN

Standards

The OpenLCB-CAN Physical Layer Standard references ISO 11898-1 and ISO 11898-2 for CAN specifications. The ISO (http://www.iso.org) sells PDF and paper copies of these. Copies can generally be found in engineering libraries. (http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=33422) (http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=33423)

Note that ISO 11898-3, 11898-4 and 11898-5 specify different variants of the CAN standard that are not relevant to OpenLCB-CAN-compliant implementations. The original 1995 Bosch CAN standard, which can be found online, is similar to ISO 11898-1 and -2, but not identical.

The OpenLCB-CAN Physical Layer Standard references TIA/EIA-568-B or the successor TIA/EIA-568-C for unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, and TIA-968-A for RJ45 modular plugs and jacks. The TIA (http://www.tiaonline.org) sells PDF and paper copies of these. Copies can generally be found in engineering libraries.

Books

“Embedded Networking with CAN and CANopen”, Pfeiffer, Ayre and Keydel; generally considered the gold standard in CAN books.

“Embedded Networking with CAN and CANopen”, Olaf Pfeiffer, RTC Books, 2003, ISBN 0-929392-78-7: A good introduction to the ideas behind the CANopen industrial protocol. The space devoted to CAN specifically is limited (chapter 5), but provides a good introduction to how CAN is used in practice. It contains a very good introduction to the various varieties and capabilities of CAN controllers for embedded computers (pages 230-239), which includes useful engineering information on suitable rates, etc.

“A Comprehensible Guide to Controller Area Network”, Wilfried Voss, Copperhill Technologies, 2005

“Multiplexed Networks for Embedded Systems”, Dominique Paret, Wiley, 2007 – good coverage of CAN through first half of volume, including protocol and physical layer issues.

“Designing Embedded Systems with PIC Microcontrollers”, Tim Wilmhurst, Newnes (Elsevier), 2010 – very brief coverage of CAN issues on pages 581 through 586.

“Embedded Systems Design and Applications with the 68HC12 and HCS12”, S.F. Barret and D.J. Pack, Pearson Prentice Hall, 2005 – limited coverage of CAN from pages 595 through 600, with coverage of the details of the specific msCAN12 controller through page 634. Of limited value unless one is writing a low-level library for that controller.

Application Notes

A number of component manufacturers have written application notes that may be useful to OpenLCB- CAN developers.
