The problems are solved, not by giving new information, but by arranging what we have known since long.
CiA community
The CAN community is huge. Close to two billion of CAN nodes are installed annually. And this is still growing. Compared with these figures, the number of CAN fellows organized in the nonprofit CiA users’ and manufacturers’ group is very small. Several have left the CiA community in the last years. Some of them are coming back due to the CAN FD development. And there are many things still to do.
We take the already existing ideas in communication technology as well as in human communication, arrange them newly, and new specifications and products are born.
