The CSC Bus components defined herein were developed to provide simple, yet reliable, communication between a host master module and its sensors and actuators. The scheme chosen provides the ability to communicate in both polling mode and direct addressing modes.

The scope of this specification is to define the transfer layer and the consequences of the Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol on the surrounding layers.

The objective of this document is to define a minimum set of physical and data link layer requirements applicable to a vehicle data communication network that is cost effective for simple applications and flexible enough to use in complex applications. Network requirements "above" the physical and data link layers are generally application specific and are, therefore, left to the system designer. The requirements contained in this document define a data communications network philosophy that satisfies the needs of the automotive manufacturers. In its present form, this document defines a cohesive set of data link layer requirements. On the other hand, several alternative physical layer approaches are specified to accommodate a variety of application requirements.

This compilation of terms, acronyms and symbols was drawn from usage which should be familiar to those working in automotive electronics reliability. Terms are included which are used to describe how items, materials and systems are evaluated for reliability, how they fail, how failures are modeled and how failures are prevented. Terms are also included from the disciplines of designing for reliability, testing and failure analysis as well as the general disciplines of Quality and Reliability Engineering. This glossary is intended to augment SAE J1213, Glossary of Automotive Electronic Terms.

This Glossary confines its content to the specific field of electronic systems and subsystems as they pertain to the automotive engineer.

This glossary has been compiled to serve for reference in an effort to assist communications between the automotive engineer and the electronics engineer. This Glossary confines its content to the specific field of electronic systems and subsystems as they pertain to the automotive engineer.
