Notes for table 1: (1)--implementation dependent, standard does not defines this variable; (2)--topology can be both bus and star, depending on devices used; (3)--can have any topology, but most devices support bus topology; (4)--CAN is a synchronous bus with Collision Resolving (CR), (not Collision Detect (CD) as in Ethernet), it transmits messages deterministically; (5)--use a special frame format made by master device, which are read from and written to by slave devices, this ensures synchronicity of bus control at all times; (6)--for MODBUS implementation; (7)--regular and extended frame format; (8)--TCP and UDP protocols respectively; (9)--MODBUS implementation strictly regulates length of a message.
