Controller Area Network (CAN) Protocol: Key features of CAN, Characteristics, Advantages and Disadvantages , Real time Applications

Image
 CAN PROTOCOL :      CAN stands for Controller Area Network protocol . It is a protocol that was developed by Robert Bosch in around 1986. The CAN protocol is a standard designed to allow the microcontroller and other devices to communicate with each other without any host computer. Key features of CAN:     Real-time Communication : CAN is widely used in real-time systems, particularly in automotive and industrial applications where precise, time-critical data transmission is essential.                         Multi-Master Setup : Any device on the network can initiate communication, allowing flexibility in device interaction.                                                                            ...

Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Vs Electric Vehicle (EV)- definition, characteristics - uses, performance, advantages and disadvantages

Image
 ICE engine:     Conventional combustion vehicles use engines that burn fossil fuels , such as petrol or diesel oil. It is a heat engine that converts fuel energy into work by burning fuel and air in a combustion chamber to create high pressure gas. ICE 's are the primary power source for vehicles like cars, boats and airplanes.   Advantages:  *Longer range                                                                                                                                     *Quick refilling Disadvantages:    *  Typically less energy efficient, as much of the energy in the fuel is lost as heat du...
