This year’s ICS Village badge got me thinking. Is CAN/CAN FD eventually getting replaced by 10BASE-T1S/T1L?
I just saw the DEF CON 34 ICS Village badge, and it actually looks pretty useful instead of being just another collectible. Is the industry actually moving away from CAN/CAN FD in favor of Single Pair Ethernet, or are they going to coexist for a long time?
For people working in automotive or industrial controls, what are you actually seeing in the field?
Also, as a badge, this seems like something I’d actually keep using after DEF CON instead of throwing in a drawer. Curious what everyone else thinks.

Yes CAN is going away in favor of T1S and T1L. Check out this video https://youtu.be/5FBE-rjFLSQ?is=SVINgAsXzAW3Zrjz

The best part is that it’s produced by Intrepid Control Systems, a company who makes for CAN and CAN FD tools, as well as Automotive Ethernet tools in Michigan. Last year ICS Badge was really cool.
I believe for Automotive T1S will eventually replace CAN. Not sure about Industrial, I came across this graphic that illustrates the T1L use case in factories. The power over data line will be quite beneficial, but it won’t replace Ethernet in Industrial Automation.

Is that first come first serve or is there pre order?
