Method and corresponding apparatus for the automatic detection of the bit rate of a network, particularly of type CAN (Controller Area Network), and for the configuration of the network at the detected bit rate

摘要

The process involves initializing a control unit with a configuration of a data transfer rate. A configuration of current data transfer rate is validated and the unit is placed in a normal mode if a condition for adaptation of the rate is verified. A controller area network bus timeout is initialized and the configuration of the current rate is replaced with new configuration, if a condition of non-adaptation of the rate is verified. An independent claim is also included for a control unit connected to a network.
