The communication protocol
The communication protocol in its newest version 1.0 is the last step to introduce the EnergyBus connectors into the market in 2011. Rosenberger will apply the protocol in its first connector series this year.
The protocol is based on CAN and enables the components of the LEVs to communicate with each other. While the baisc structure and requirements are defined by EnergyBus members, CiA is responsible for the correct conversion into a communication protocol based on CAN, a commonly used language for machine interfaces. The uniform exchange of information in CAN enables the components to provide maximum performance by clearly communicating with each other. What makes EnergyBus special is that energy and service data can now safely be transmitted through the same connector at the same time.
