Hi, we recently reviewed a study that showed that the reliability of a system goes down when you use one CAN bus instead of discrete connections. lets say you have 3 actuators and 3 sensors on one bus, the bus goes down, you loose all actuators and all sensors. instead of going back to all discrete wiring, what about staying with CAN on the actuator and sensor side but have a separate CAN channel on the controller? Basically like the switch from BNC Ethernet to 10BaseT. Than only one channel can go down at a time, and you still have control over the rest.
