Wireless Vehicle Interface
Applications in all areas of ECU communication require efficient,
easy-to-use and reasonably-priced interfaces to the vehicle
electronics. Thanks to its Bluetooth
®
interface and the new compact housing concept with an integrated diagnostic connector,
EDICblue is perfect for use in the Test Drive, Manufacturing and
Service sectors. EDICblue is software-compatible with other
EDIC
®
interfaces* and can thus be used with Softing tools such
as DTS, EDIABAS and VAS 5163 (for VW applications).
Areas of Implementation and Applications
Using EDICblue in test drive applications makes parallel
communication with several ECUs possible due to reliable and
efficient handling of diagnostic protocols in the interface. In
manufacturing and service applications, EDICblue’s wireless
connection makes it perfect for use between the vehicle and
test system. In addition, completely new applications are now
possible: EDICblue is connected once in the vehicle thanks to
the integrated J1962 diagnostic connector. Thereafter ECUs
can be read or parameterized, the fault memory read or deleted,
and other diagnostic tasks executed at different workstations.
In addition, a digital input enables the evaluation of the ignition
signal. The product compatibility of the EDIC family guarantees
integration into existing systems.
Advantages of EDICblue
Integrated Diagnostic Connector
The compact housing concept with an integrated SAE-J1962
connector makes it possible to connect EDICblue directly to the
diagnostic connector of the vehicle. Complicated and troublesome arrangement of additional cables is thus a thing of the past.
Wireless
The integrated Bluetooth interface connects the vehicle to the
notebook, desktop or test system doing away with the need for
cables.
D-PDU API
The standardized programming interface enables efficient
integration into your application.
Protocol Processing in the Interface
The vehicle protocols are processed directly in the interface.
This ensures fast response times and reliable real-time behavior
regardless of the PC operating system. Extensive buffer
mechanisms make parallel operation of several communication
channels possible.
Flexibility
Various software packages with operating software and additional
vehicle protocols, such as Diagnostics on CAN (ISO 15765),
UDS (ISO 14229), KWP 2000 (ISO 14230), TP 2.0, as well as
many OEM-specific protocols are available for EDICblue. The
support of the relevant bus systems and of the parallel communication channels depends on the software package used. To
ensure it is always perfectly equipped for future applications,
EDICblue can be upgraded with software updates. Customized
software solutions can be realized on request.
