PC Interfaces for analysis and control of CAN, FlexRay, LIN and K-Line systems IXXAT PC interfaces are used in a wide range of applications, either in test benches to connect the devices to be tested to the test computer or as a control interface in production or handling systems. In combination with the canAnalyser, the interfaces serve as a basis for a powerful CAN and FlexRay analysis system. The drivers for Windows (VCI), Linux and real-time operating systems (ECI), included in the scope of supply, have an identical programming interface for all CAN interfaces and enable a quick and easy...

used with all supported IXXAT CAN interfaces without changing. The application interface is designed as a "C" interface and contains all necessary functions for CAN-based applications. SAE J1939 and CANopen For use of the CAN interfaces under CANopen and J1939, IXXAT offers driver APIs that provide all protocol specic functions and thus enable quick and easy development of PC-based control and conguration applications. Ne w FlexRay The FR-IB100/PCIe is a low cost and powerful solution for analysis and control of FlexRay systems. With the integrated asynchronous receiver, it is also possible to...

Topology components for test back-ups and system extension The IXXAT topology components are successful and established in many different application areas, whether in test benches for communication system networks, in production systems or charging station, for system protection and control of noise. CAN repeaters In terms of robustness, temperature range and safety, IXXAT repeaters are specially designed for use in an industrial environment. When used, the reliability of a system can be signicantly increased while typically saving costs due to simpler wiring. The CAN repeaters are used to establish...

As an extension to the CAN bridges, CAN gateways allow access to CAN networks via other communication systems. In each case, the protocols of the connected bus systems are mapped to the other communication model. An adaptation to customer specic requirements can be made by using the Application Development Kit for the CANbridge. Ne w LIN2CAN The LIN2CAN is an universal device for the analysis of LIN networks via the CAN bus and for emulation of LIN slave or master modules. In addition, the device can be used as a LIN-PC interface for PC-based conguration and monitoring software or computer-aided...

Analysis and diagnostic tools for testing and optimizing system availability and system performance Additional functions are provided by optional modules for the canAnalyser, such as the protocolspecic display of messages, e.g. in CANopen or J1939 based systems, or the support of other bus systems like LIN or FlexRay. Customized functions can be easily integrated via an open .NET programming interface in the form of individual modules. The canAnalyser, additional modules and PC interfaces are also offered as bundle at very attractive prices. The CANcheck is a mobile, robust handheld device offered...

The CANcheck comes with calibration docu- ments and therefore can be used as test equipment for manufacturing and assembly server enable detailed analysis of the signals and of the transmission errors occurring in dows program. The software enables online analysis with numerous test tegrated in the system to be tested device saves all error occurrences in the internal memory, so sporadic bus impairments and a slowly deteriorat- ing signal quality can be detected over time. messages in accordance with the Message display in scroll or overwrite mode management messages Change highlighting and receive...

Automotive Tools for conguration and operation of the IXXAT Embedded Platform drag&drop on the graphical interface of the Gateway Conguration Tool. The conguration thus created can be loaded to the IXXAT CANbridge or an Embedded Platform from IXXAT and can be executed stand-alone. Residual bus simulation for FlexRay and CAN systems The residual bus simulation provides a simulation environment for one or more control devices that can be tested independently of other nodes. This includes the generation of the message traffic that is necessary for the device to be tested and the reaction on messages...

FDX provides physical signals. The Gateway Conguration Tool generates an XML description le which can be read by the control PC and used to interpret the Ethernet data ow. EtherCAT IXXAT offers an EtherCAT expansion for the FRCEP190. This allows connection of the automotive part with the industrial environment in test benches. Using the Gateway Conguration Tool, the user selects the signals from the vehicle or control unit which have to be stimulated or analyzed on EtherCAT. The EtherCAT conguration can be read directly from the device or provided by an ESI le which is generated by the Gateway...

Embedded Platform for use in vehicles and test benches As an alternative to the Embedded Platform IXXAT offers for the pure PC-based FlexRay analysis also the FR-IB 100 interface (see PC interfaces). w Test bench Within test benches, individual parts of a vehicle e.g. electronic servo steering - can be tested isolated from the remaining vehicle. Especially FlexRay requires to locate the Embedded Platform nearby the device under test, to keep the interference with the bus topology as low as possible. For operation, most of the control units require - from their point of view - a simulation of...
