CAN identifier

The CAN identifier is the main part of the arbitration field of a CAN data frame (Classical CAN or CAN FO) or CAN remote frame (only in Classical CAN). It comprises 11 bit (base frame format) or 29 bit (extended frame format) and indicates certain information uniquely in the network. The CAN identifier value determines implicitly the priority for the bus arbitration.
