A CAN (Controller Area Network) bus is a vehicle's "nervous system." It allows dozens of microcontrollers and computers to communicate with each other in real-time without a central host computer, drastically reducing the amount of wiring needed.
The main types of communication protocols in PLC systems are serial, Ethernet-based, fieldbus, wireless, and a group of other notable protocols used for specific legacy, utility, process, or hybrid applications.
Modbus-accessible data is stored, in general, in one of four data banks or address ranges: coils, discrete inputs, holding registers, and input registers.

A CAN (Controller Area Network) transceiver acts as the vital physical bridge between a digital microcontroller (the "brain") and the physical CAN bus wires. It translates logic-level signals to differential electrical signals to ensure resilient communication across various electronic devices.
CAN is generally wired with yellow and green wire with yellow acting as the CAN-High and green as the CAN-Low signals. Many devices show this yellow and green color scheme to indicate how the wires should be plugged in.
