Compact Vehicle Interface
Most ECUs in today’s vehicle networks use the CAN bus as a
communication medium for onboard and diagnostic data. It is
therefore particularly important in the Engineering, Manufacturing
and Service environment to have easy-to-use access to this
CAN bus from your PC in all kinds of applications. CANcard2-CAR
is a powerful hardware interface perfect for use in precisely
such cases. CANcard2-CAR is particularly suitable for ECU
communication in mobile use – whether using a notebook
equipped with a PC card (PCMCIA) slot or by taking the card
with you to be used in the system on site.
Areas of Implementation and Applications
In the ECU Engineering, Simulation, Test and Validation sectors,
the CANcard2-CAR supports a wide range of communication
applications. It allows parallel access to several ECUs at up to
two CAN buses simultaneously – important for diagnostic and
test applications.
Several bus adapter cables are available for connecting it to ECUs
or to the vehicle. They are equipped with various CAN transceivers
and thus enable simple and flexible use with different ECUs.
With the optional D-PDU API software in accordance with
ISO 22900-2, the card can also be used in diagnostic applications and MVCI systems.
Advantages
CAN APIs
The CAN-API, which is standard for all CAN interfaces from
Softing, provides powerful communication mechanisms for CAN
applications. Local buffering and preprocessing result in high
performance and a reduction of time-critical tasks for the PC.
Special automation APIs, such as CANopen or DeviceNET-API,
are also available.
D-PDU API
The standardized programming interface provides applications
with powerful multi-channel communication mechanisms with
vehicle protocols such as Diagnostics on CAN (ISO 15765)
and UDS (ISO 14229). It also allows integration into diagnostic
systems in accordance with ISO 22900 (MVCI).
D-PDU API is available upon request.
Scalability
The CANcard2-CAR supports two independent CAN bus
channels. By combining several CANcard2-CAR (or even other
CAN/EDIC
®
interfaces), the number of communication channels
available on the PC can quickly be adapted to the relevant
application.
Flexibility
Various software packages with operating software, APIs and
vehicle protocols are available for operating the CANcard2-CAR.
