Garmin CAN Bus for Dummies

I'm gathering everything to do signal wiring for a complete Garmin panel. I have most of the components and signal diagram from Stein. I wired my 7-A panel (dual GRT EFIS with some other stuff) with no isues.

I'm aware that that there was something in the Garmin world called a "CAN Bus" and sure enough it has several references on the wiring diagram. I searched "Garmin CAN Bus" and this came up: "Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus is a serial communications protocol that supports distributed real-time control with a high level of security."

Is there a layman's explanation or writeup for the CAN Bus or a book "CAN Bus for Dummies"? Stein's diagram is simple and straight forward except for you-know-what.

Thank you
Jerry
