Both High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) and Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) use an unshielded twisted pair cable of data (+) and data (-) circuits. The HS-CAN operates at a maximum data transfer speed of 500 Kbps and designed for real-time information transfer and control. The MS-CAN operates at a maximum data transfer speed of 125 Kbps for bus messages and is designed for general information transfer.
