Protocols Overview

CAN Database (DBC) File

• Purpose: Used to decode raw CAN or LIN data.
• Content: Contains information to extract relevant CAN signals such as temperatures and engine speed.

OBD2

• Functionality: Self-diagnostic capability for analyzing car issues and overall health.
• Features: Determines trouble codes (DTCs) and real-time data (e.g., RPM, speed).
• Usage: Data can be recorded through OBD2 loggers.

CANopen

• Application: Used in embedded control applications like industrial automation.
• Compatibility: CAN bus data logger can log CANopen data.

CAN FD

• Description: An extension of the classical CAN protocol with a flexible data rate.
• Advantages: Increases payload from 8 to 64 bytes and allows higher data bit rate depending on the CAN transceiver.

SAE J1939

• Usage: Commonly used in heavy-duty vehicles.
• Data Analysis: Parameters such as RPM and speed are analyzed using a suspect parameter number (SPN) and grouped into parameter groups (PGN).

DoIP Diagnostics

• Speed: Offers approximately 100 times faster data transfer rate compared to CAN diagnosis.
