Data Sheet
Powerful 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 Test environment to have easy-to-use access to this CAN
bus from your PC in all kinds of applications. CAN-AC2-PCI is a
powerful hardware interface perfect for use in precisely such
cases. The CAN-AC2-PCI enables ECU communication in
stationary operation and is perfectly suited, thanks to galvanic
isolation, for use with test beds and in the Manufacturing environment.
Areas of Implementation and Applications
In the ECU Engineering, Simulation, Test and Validation sectors,
the CAN-AC2-PCI 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).
By default, both CAN channels are equipped with high-speed
transceivers. For perfect adaptation to the particular use case,
each channel can also be equipped with an additional CAN lowspeed transceiver. This takes place using an optional piggyback
which enables software-controlled selection of the CAN transceiver. This makes a test system easy and flexible to use with
different ECUs.
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 interfaces, such as the CANopen-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.
Scalable
The CAN-AC2-PCI interface supports two independent CAN
bus channels. By combining several CAN-AC2-PCIs (or even
other CAN/EDIC
®
interfaces), the number of communication
channels available on the PC system can quickly be adapted
to the relevant application.
Environment
The galvanic isolation of PC and vehicle interfaces enables troublefree operation even in harsh manufacturing environments.
