Transmission Speeds

The Volvo control area network has two transmission speeds.

• The HS CAN has a transfer speed of 500 kbit/s
• The LS CAN has a transfer speed of 125 kbit/s.

1 kbit/s = 1024 bits per second.

For serial communication between a control module and a slave control module the transmission speed is 9.6 kbit/s.
