| Abstract | |
International standards based on the digital data communication protocol CAN - Controller Area Network - are being developed and applied to embedded electronics in agricultural and environmental area to integrate different devices. In Brazil, the application of CAN is restricted to imported machines. Small and medium manufactures also need some support to apply this technology and offer compatible equipment to the market. This work present the searching of integrated circuits, transducers, elaborated devices (GPS receivers, embedded computers, handled computers, digital radios and intelligent sensors and actuators) and high level protocols for the development CAN based systems. The systematization of the results generate a practical reference documentation of CAN for agricultural machinery (tractor, combine and implements) designs and agricultural automation designs, such as irrigation, greenhouse and livestock systems.
