Data Sheet
Powerful Vehicle Interface
Most ECUs in today’s onboard vehicle networks use the CAN bus
or the K-line as a communication medium for onboard and
diagnostic data. It is therefore particularly important in the Manufacturing and Test environment to have easy-to-use access to
these vehicle buses from your PC in all kinds of applications.
Optimized Manufacturing and Test environments often require
the implementation of hardware interfaces with a wireless
connection to the test system. EDICnet is a powerful hardware
interface perfect for use in precisely such cases. With its sturdy
housing, radio or wire connection to the PC and galvanic isolation,
it is absolutely perfect particularly for use with test beds and in
the Manufacturing environment. Add-ons can be used to meet
customer-specific requirements.
Areas of Implementation and Applications
In the ECU Engineering, Test, Validation, Manufacturing and
Service sectors, EDICnet supports a wide range of communication applications. Thanks to the wireless PC connection via
WLAN and the extensive and adaptable configuration of vehicle
busses, EDICnet is usually used for:
Functional ECU tests and data interface tests
in Manufacturing and Rework
Mobile programming and coding systems
Mobile diagnostic testers in the Customer Service sector
Flexible communication platform for customized applications
Advantages
Additional Communication Processor
As a two-processor system, EDICnet has a powerful 32-bit
processor as well as an additional 16-bit microcontroller that
handles vehicle communication. The two system kernels
guarantee data exchange from the host system (PC) to the
ECU via EDICnet in the real time required.
Protocol Handling in the Interface
The vehicle protocols are handled 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
Additional vehicle interfaces, such as SAE J1850 or MOST, as
well as alternative CAN bus transceivers can be integrated using
add-ons and piggybacks. A variant with display, keyboard and
additional digital inputs/outputs is also available for customized
projects.
Various software packages with operating software and additional
vehicle protocols, such as Diagnostics on CAN (ISO 15765),
UDS (ISO 14229-1), KWP 2000 (ISO 14230), TP 2.0, CAN as
well as many OEM-specific protocols, are available for operating
EDICnet. Customized software solutions can be realized on
request.
Environment
The sturdy housing and the galvanic insulation of PC and
vehicle interfaces enable trouble-free operation even in harsh
manufacturing environments.
