DAF CAN Wiring Specifications and Guidelines
CAN WIRING
It is not permitted to connect to other electronic systems from the CAN network.
When repairing or replacing CAN wiring, the original twisted length and diameter of the wiring must be taken
into consideration. A 10% tolerance in the twisted length of the wiring is permitted.
Pitch 40-50 turns/m
When repairing the wiring, the pitch figure must be Max. 60mm
maintained, with the proviso that it is permissible for
the wiring at the point of repair to have no twists over
a maximum length of 60 mm.
When the wiring is being repaired, it must be secured
with tape at the end and in the middle.

Since the data must be transferred over separate wires, the amount of wiring needed increases significantly.
A separate wire is required for each type of data.
E500702

Hence the choice of a different technical solution to the problem of data transfer: the CAN network.
"CAN" stands for "Controller Area Network". This method of data transfer transmits all the data over 2 wires,
regardless of its volume or diversity.

The CAN network (CAN data bus) is essentially a distribution network for various electronic signals.
The digital, pulse-shaped signals form coded messages. These messages can be sent, received and
processed by any of the systems attached to the network. Each system takes the information that it requires
from the network. This means that a signal generated by one system can be used by other systems.
All communication (data transfer) between the various systems takes place over two wires.
In the CAN network, these wires are referred to as "CAN-L(ow)" and "CAN-H(igh)".
The wires are twisted to protect the CAN network against external electrical interference (electromagnetic
waves). At the same time, this strongly reduces any interference being generated by the CAN wiring itself.
The CAN network is closed off using two resistors (terminating resistors).
The resistors are attached at the end of the CAN network.
The resistor can be attached externally or can be integrated into the electronic unit when this is attached to
the end of the CAN network.
The terminator prevents the data transmitted on the CAN-L and CAN-H from being reflected back and
"polluting" the data.

In the electronic unit, the microprocessor (µp)
receives information from other switches and sensors.
The microprocessor passes the data through to the
"CAN controller" in the electronic unit, which then
assembles and processes the data.
The "CAN transceiver" in the electronic unit converts
the data from the CAN controller into electrical
signals, which are then sent to the other electronic
systems over the CAN-L and CAN-H..

The CAN transceiver in the electronic unit receives
information from the other electronic systems over the
CAN-L and CAN-H.
This information is converted and passed through to
the CAN controller.
The CAN controller checks whether the information
received relates to the relevant electronic unit; if it
does not, the information is ignored, but if it does, the
information received is processed and passed
through to the microprocessor (µp).
E500699

Using a system of priorities, only one electronic unit
attached to the CAN network can send information at
any one time. The other electronic units are "listeners"
at that point. Some of these units find that the
information they receive is relevant to them and make
use of it. Others ignore the information.
The unit that is transmitting is also listening at the
same time, allowing it to check whether the
information it sent out has been correctly received.

The transfer of information takes place through both CAN-L and
CAN-H CAN network connections. The content of the information via
the CAN-L connection is equal to the content via the CAN-H
connection.
The composition of the digital signals on the two wires is therefore
the same, except that the voltage levels of CAN-L and CAN-H mirror
each other.
When a message is sent, the "CAN transceiver" in the electronic unit
assigns the correct voltage reading for a bit value.
The assigned bit value is either 0 or 1.
Figure A shows the CAN-H signal.
For voltage low on this signal line, a bit value of 1 (CAN-H
"Recessive") is assigned.
For voltage high on this signal line, a bit value of 0 (CAN-H
"Dominant") is assigned.
Figure B shows the CAN-L signal.
For voltage low on this signal line, a bit value of 0 (CAN-L
"Dominant") is assigned.
For voltage high on this signal line, a bit value of 1 (CAN-L
"Recessive") is assigned.
When the CAN-H and CAN-L signals are compared it can be seen
that, as far as the voltage levels are concerned, the two signals are
mirror images of each other.

Figure C illustrates that the two signals (CAN-H and CAN-L) fit each
other perfectly.
Starting from this situation and then taking the difference in voltage
between the two signals when the bit value is 0, the result is the
signal shown in Figure D.
This signal is the differential voltage that is the difference in voltage
levels between CAN-H and CAN-L.
A bit value of 1 is assigned for voltage low on the differential voltage.
A bit value of 0 is assigned for voltage high on the differential
voltage.
The differential voltage is the signal detected by the electronic units
when they read a message.

Digital communications involve the transmission of information by means of a digital signal where the
voltage level of the signal simply varies between high and low.
In a digital signal we differentiate between the different voltage levels by assigning a value of 0 or 1.
We call the voltage level of the signal during a given time unit a "bit".
In this way, a signal consisting of high and low voltage levels that vary with time can be made up from a
number of bits.
In this example, four bits have an assigned value of 0 and four have an assigned value of 1.

The transmission of information takes the form of a large number of bits connected together, with eight bits
forming a byte.
The information is transmitted in bytes.
It must be possible for the content of the information that is transmitted to be recognised by the electronic
units; for this reason each byte represents a specific decimal value. These decimal values in turn form a
code that allows the electronic unit to determine the contents of the information.

A mixture of binary 1s and binary 0s assigned to the bits in a byte give a decimal value that depends on the
position of the 1s in the byte.

Start of frame
The message frame starts with a 0 bit that denotes
the start of a new message. All electronic units that
want to send a message must now either start to
transmit at the same moment or wait until the
transmission of the current message has been
completed.
Arbitration field
The arbitration field consists of a number of bits that
together form an identification code.
The electronic units use this code to identify the
source and contents of the message.
This identification code is also used to determine the
priority of the message: the lower the code number,
the higher the priority of the message.

As soon as the transmission of that message is
complete, the other electronic units make another
attempt to send their messages.
Control field
The control field contains information about the length
of the data field (that is, the number of bytes
contained in the field).
The length of the data field is expressed in a digit
ranging from 1 to 8. Thus, a maximum of 8 bytes may
be sent via the data field.
Data field
The data field contains the actual information to be
transmitted. This may be sensor data, engine rpm,
etc.
Check field
This field is used to check whether the message has
been received correctly.

The end of the message frame is denoted by a
number of bits with a value of 1.
After this comes a short pause, after which a further
message can be sent.

In order to relieve the 'data traffic' per CAN network, the vehicle has multiple separate CAN networks,
namely:
◾ V-CAN 1 (Vehicle CAN 1)
◾ V-CAN 2 (Vehicle CAN 2)
◾ I-CAN (Information CAN)
◾ D-CAN (Diagnostic CAN)
The V-CAN 1 and V-CAN 2 transport the messages among the various vehicle systems.
The VIC-2 serves as a 'gateway' (communications port) between primarily the V-CAN 1 and V-CAN 2.
The I-CAN transports the messages specifically intended for:
◾ warning and indicator functions on the instrument panel
◾ various vehicle systems
The D-CAN transports the messages between the diagnostic equipment (DAVIE or OBD reader) and the
various vehicle systems.
In addition, all FMS messages go via the D-CAN.

It is for this reason that systems that are not connected to a CAN network are also included; in these systems, diagnosis takes place via a 'k-
