A Data Engine for Controller Area Network

In this paper, a data engine model for CAN is proposed, so devices simply based on CAN could communicate with other applications and users could maintain the simply CAN based network and interface devices while utilizing the existing configuration software. The concept of an I/O tag is put forward and CAN messages could be mapped into tag items. By handling time, event and user triggered transmitions, the data engine enables a computer based system to maintain positive in the network. To improve the performance of the system, a genetic method is suggested for a message filter implemented by hardware.
