Broadcast Communication

Each of the devices on the network has a CAN circuit and is therefore is considered "intelligent". All devices on the network see all transmitted messages. Each device can determine if a message is relevant or if it should be filtered out. This structure allows modifications to CAN networks with minimal impact. Additional non-transmitting nodes can be added without modification to the network.
