Synchronous measurement of acceleration by MEMs sensors over CAN bus

Abstract

This paper discusses possibility of synchronous measurements of acceleration by digital MEMs sensors with the use of the CAN bus. The CAN bus is not commonly used for the synchronous operations, so the main topic of the paper is focused at measurement of the reliability and accuracy of the whole measurement chain on a laboratory stand. We verified by measurements, that digital MEMs sensors can be synchronized over the CAN bus, with respect to theirs typical scanning frequency.
