It was developed primarily for use in X-by-Wire applications. These applications require a <strong>higher data transfer rate<\/strong> than can be achieved with the CAN bus. To ensure rapid and cost-effective implementation, the leading German automakers collaborated on this new development. The goal was to create a new open standard similar to the CAN bus.    <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Physical Layer and Topology<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In principle, it is also possible to use a line topology with FlexRay, similar to that used with the CAN bus. Ideally, however, the active star topology is used, in which the star point actively generates the required signals. Hybrid configurations combining both variants are also feasible.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"442\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ime-actia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-2.png\" alt=\"Flexray Architecture\" class=\"wp-image-4617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ime-actia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-2.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.ime-actia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-2-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ime-actia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-2-768x332.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ime-actia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-2-600x259.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Flexray Architecture<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sequence:<\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Communication takes place in the following cycles:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Static Segment<\/strong><br\/>Each control unit has its own fixed slot.
