Abstract: In view of the present mechanical current meter big power consumption, lower attitude measuring precision, large volume, complex maintenance, velocity of flow measurement data of the single, we design a controller based on local area network (controller area network,CAN) bus STM32F103RCT6 as the control core of current meter measurement and control module, low power machinery and gives the overall structure, hardware interface circuit of measurement and control module system, communication protocol, software design and main technical index. The results of marine experiments show that this module not only realizes the signal acquisition and control of current velocity and flow direction, but also realizes the measurement of different current velocity and flow direction through the expansibility of CAN bus, which increases the range of marine hydrological survey and improves its flexibility.

Key words: CAN bus, measurement and control module；STM32;velocity and direction measurement
