Data Sheet
Flexible 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 range of interfaces, the EDICpci is perfect
for use in heterogeneous onboard networks with CAN bus,
K-line and LIN bus. The PCI interface ensures simple connection
of the desktop or test bed to the vehicle buses in stationary
operation. EDICpci 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
In the Simulation, Test/Validation and Manufacturing sectors,
EDICpci supports a wide range of communication applications.
Several ECUs can be accessed in all kinds of diagnostic
applications regardless of the bus system. Thanks to the shared
time base as well as parallel access to CAN and ISO 9141/LIN,
EDICpci permits effective gateway tests. The extensive data
buffering of the EDICpci guarantees fast and parallel flash programming of several ECUs. The battery voltage and ignition
signal can be evaluated via analog inputs. Additional free analog
inputs and digital outputs can be used for customized automation tasks.
Due to the large supply voltage range and the galvanic isolation,
EDICpci is perfect for use in both cars and commercial vehicles,
particularly in the manufacturing environment. It is very easy to
connect to the ECU or the vehicle with an optional lab adapter
box or OBD cable (SAE-J1962 connector). The vehicle supplies
the interface with power. The product compatibility of the EDIC
family guarantees simple integration into existing systems.
Advantages
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.
D-PDU API
The standardized programming interface guarantees efficient
integration into your application.
Scalability
By combining several EDICpci interfaces (or even other EDIC
®
interfaces), the number of communication channels available on
the PC system can quickly be adapted to the relevant application.
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, CAN and
LIN, as well as many OEM-specific protocols are available for
EDICpci. The support of the relevant bus systems and of the
parallel communication channels depends on the software
package used.
Software upgrades are also available for EDICpci ensuring it is
always perfectly equipped for future applications. Customized
software solutions can also be realized on request.
