The Class A Task Force of the Vehicle Network for Multiplex and Data Communications Committee is publishing this SAE Information Report to provide insight into Class A Multiplexing. Multiplexed actuators are generally defined as devices which accept information from the multiplexed bus. A multiplexed actuator can be an output device controlled by the operator or an intelligent controller. A Multiplex actuator can also be a display device that reports the status of a monitored vehicle function. This document is intended to help the network system engineers and is meant to stimulate the design thought process. A list of multiplexed actuator examples is provided in Appendix A, Figure A1. Many other examples can be it identified.

The Class A Task Force of the Vehicle Network for Multiplexing and Data Communications Subcommittee is providing information on sensors that could be applicable for a Class A Bus application. Sensors are generally defined as any device that inputs information onto the bus. Sensors can be an input controlled by the operator or an input that provides the feedback or status of a monitored vehicle function. Although there is a list of sensors provided, this list is not all-inclusive. This SAE Information Report is intended to help the network system engineer and is meant to stimulate the design thought process.

This SAE Information Report studies the present transmission media axioms and takes a fresh look at the Class C transmission medium requirements and also the possibilities and limitations of using a twisted pair as the transmission medium. The choice of transmission medium is a large determining factor in choosing a Class C scheme.

The subject matter contained within this SAE Information Report is set forth by the Class A Task Force of the Vehicle Network for Multiplexing and Data Communications (Multiplex) Committee as information the network system designer should consider. The Task Force realizes that the information contained in this report may be somewhat controversial and a consensus throughout the industry does not exist at this time. The Task Force also intends that the analysis set forth in this document is for sharing information and encouraging debate on the benefits of utilizing a multiple network architecture.

This SAE Information Report will explain the differences between Class A, B, and C networks and clarify through examples, the differences in applications. Special attention will be given to a listing of functions that could be attached to a Class A communications network.

This document is an information report and intended to provide an overview of the Clock Extension Peripheral Interface (CXPI) protocol.

This SAE Standard establishes the requirements for a Class B Data Communication Network Interface applicable to all On-and OffRoad Land-Based Vehicles. It defines a minimum set of data communication requirements such that the resulting network is cost effective for simple applications and flexible enough to use in complex applications. Taken in total, the requirements contained in this document specify a data communications network that satisfies the needs of automotive manufacturers. This specification describes two specific implementations of the network, based on media/Physical Layer differences. One Physical Layer is optimized for a data rate of 10.4 Kbps while the other Physical Layer is optimized for a data rate of 41.6 Kbps (see Appendix A for a checklist of application-specific features). The Physical Layer parameters are specified as they would be detected on the network media, not within any particular module or integrated circuit implementation.

SAE has many vehicle network "J" documents to analyze and select from. Many vehicle network architectures have an overlap of characteristics that can apply to several networks.

This SAE Recommended Practice will define the physical layer and portions of the data link layer of the open systems interconnection model (ISO 7498) for a 500 kbps arbitration bus with CAN FD data at 5 Mbps high-speed CAN (HSC) protocol implementation. Both ECU and media design requirements for networks will be specified. Requirements will primarily address the CAN physical layer implementation. Requirements will focus on a minimum standard level of performance from the High-Speed CAN (HSC) implementation. All ECUs and media shall be designed to meet certain component level requirements in order to ensure the HSC implementation system level performance at 500 kbps arbitration bus with CAN FD Data at 5 Mbps. The minimum performance level shall be specified by system level performance requirements or characteristics described in detail in Section 6 of this document.
