UAV Engine Control Monitoring System based on CAN Network

This paper proposes UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) engine control monitoring system using a dynamic ID application and a scheduling method of CAN network sensors which collect the temperatures, pressure, vibration, Fuel level of UAV engine through the network. This paper aims at developing an effective monitoring method for UAV engine control system, which is implemented based upon CAN (Controller Area Network) network. As the UAV engine control monitoring system requires various kinds of information, a lot of sensor nodes are distributed to several different places. The dynamic application mechanism of CAN protocol ensures the effective utilization of the bandwidth of the network, in which all nodes are sending the data to the bus according to the priority of node identifiers.
