Patent
CA 2410178
A "segmented" CAN bus is disclosed. The "segmented" CAN bus extends the cabling scheme of a CAN network to permit isolation of individual nodes of identical type when needed and the ability for a host to determine the network topology. In addition, the CAN bus cabling scheme automatically assigns unique addresses to nodes and guarantees that the network will always be properly terminated. This eliminates the need for jumpers, DIP witches, pre-installation programming, or other hardware means requiring human intervention to uniquely identify the nodes on the network. Furthermore, because the physical node topology is determinable, equipment installation and anomaly diagnostics are facilitated. The present invention contemplates that this technique can be applied to various local area networking schemes.
