CAN controller certification

For the testing philosophy of CAN chips see http://www.cs-group.de/attached/sae99pc349.PDF This Paper is not anymore available. Who knows where to get it?

But there is another one by Wolfhard Lawrenz “Conformance Test of In-Vehicle Communication Protocols - Why?http://www.cs-group.de/uploads/media/CT_Concept_02.pdf

The following standards are importand:

  • ISO DIS 11898-1: CAN Data link layer and physical signalling
  • ISO DIS 11898-2: CAN High Speed Physical Layer
  • ISO DIS 11898-3: CAN Low-speed, fault-tolerant, medium-dependent interface
  • ISO DIS 11898-4: TTCAN Time-triggered communication
  • ISO DIS 11898-5: CAN High-speed medium access unit with low-power mode
  • ISO DIS 16845 : CAN Conformance Test Plan

Test Lab http://www.cs-group.de/ C&S is testing compliance with OSI Layer 2.
