Missing illustration
edit"See the illustration below for an example of how this wiring scheme would look." There's no illustration! 209.11.224.42 (talk) 13:27, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Requirement date
edit"All cars sold in the United States since 1996 are required to have a On-Board Diagnostics connector, for easy access to the car's CAN bus." CAN bus was not required till 2008. From 1996 to 2008 the requirements were not specific to CAN and allowed a few different protocols. Look at the obd-II page for more info —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.71.120.26 (talk) 20:53, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Assured minimum time of delivery
editfirst paragraph: assured minimum time of delivery -> should be assured max time of delivery? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.245.127.15 (talk) 16:20, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
- No. "assured minimum time of delivery" was right. Nobody would want to assure slowness of messages in a network! I am going to restore the "minimum" word deleted. Kurt Artindagi (talk) 13:59, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
- I agree that no one wants to assure slowness of messages in a network.
- Many of these protocols guarantee that a message will be delivered in some range from zero to some number T of milliseconds (unless something has gone horribly wrong).
- Can we agree that the T is the guaranteed number, not the 0?
- Can we agree that T is the maximum of all those times in that range, not the minimum?
- On the other hand, even though I feel "assured max time of delivery" may be technically correct, I feel that putting such MOS:JARGON in the first paragraph violates WP:UPFRONT.
- Could we rephrase that phrase in more accessible English?
- If there's not way of saying this without jargon, then WP:UPFRONT seems to mandate pushing that phrase much lower in the article than the first paragraph. --DavidCary (talk) 04:41, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
Copyvio removed
editI've removed the section on "Early history of buses on GM vehicles" as it is a copyvio of this page (see [1] for removal). — Sasuke Sarutobi (talk) 08:21, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
bus
edit51.6.235.59 has replaced communications network with Bus_(computing). I've reverted him a few times but he keeps applying the same change. My rational is that Bus_(computing) is about 95% about internal buses such as IDE. Whereas a vehicle bus is an external bus such as ethernet, arcnet and CAN. But he did raise a good point about explaining the word "bus", so I added the text "In electronics, a bus is simply a device that connects multiple electrical or electronic devices together".
