CAN bus has the advantages of high-reliability, real-time and low-price, so it is used widely. In this paper, we mainly discussed the network based on CAN bus, First, Provided the overall design plan, the structure feature and working principle of the control net based on CAN bus; and introduced the corresponding circuit structure of the intelligence control device, secondly, a new protocol for user layer communication based on CAN2.0B which is named Qucan_A is presented, Thirdly, the software based on the protocol Qucan_A between master nodes and slave nodes have been designed. In addition, the configuration and data management of the network have been designed. Finally, a monitoring example of the transformer substation has been realized, and it further verifies the advancement and practicability of the network in practice.
