DID YOU KNOW?

A classic CAN message can carry just 8 bytes of data.

That may sound like very little, especially considering how much information modern vehicles need to exchange.

The Controller Area Network (CAN) was designed for reliable communication between electronic control units without requiring a central computer. Over the years, it became one of the fundamental communication technologies in automotive systems.

With CAN FD (Flexible Data-Rate), the payload can be increased to up to 64 bytes per frame, while also allowing faster data transmission.

This evolution reflects a broader challenge in automotive software: vehicle communication needs to keep up with increasingly complex functions, higher data volumes and new vehicle architectures.

At seneos, communication between embedded systems is part of the everyday engineering challenge. From software development and integration to testing.

Small messages. Complex systems. A lot happening underneath.
