CAN stands for Controller Area Network and it is often thought of as primarily an automotive communication bus since it is the standard for use with automobiles to connect all the electronics and sensors together and is brought out to the outside world via the ODB-II interface.
The CAN bus is in fact a good communication bus for many applications that use multiple distributed MCUs which need to interact with each other such as in factory automation or robotics.
The key features of the CAN bus is that it uses only 2 wires for bus communications and all MCUs connect to these same 2 wires.
This module is mainly handy for providing the interface for connecting a built-in CAN bus controller as found in some of the more advanced MCUs, to the physical differential bus lines that connect the different MCUs on the bus.
