# CAN

## Introduction

The **CAN Nodes** provide a means for the user to perform several actions within the *CAN* messaging protocol. *CAN*, or *Controller Area Network*, allows for communication among different devices, such as different electronic parts of a vehicle. To use the **CAN Nodes** in **Incari**, the user needs to locate the [**CAN Attributes**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/v/2021.3/modules/project-settings#can) in **Project Settings** and upload a *DBC* file.
