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 EDICusb is
perfect for use in heterogeneous onboard networks with CAN
bus, K-line and LIN bus. The Plug&Play functionality of the
USB interface means it is really easy to connect your notebook
or desktop to the vehicle buses, whether used in stationary
or mobile operation. EDICusb is software-compatible with other
EDIC
®
interfaces* and can thus be operated 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,
EDICusb supports a wide range of communication applications.
Thanks to the shared time base for CAN and ISO 9141/LIN,
EDICusb permits effective gateway tests.
Several ECUs can be accessed in diagnostic applications
regardless of the bus system. The extensive data buffering of the
EDICusb guarantees the fast and parallel flash programming of
several ECUs.
The Bluetooth option enables tests in lab equipment in various
places. In addition, a digital input enables the evaluation of the
ignition signal. Due to the large supply voltage range, EDICusb
is perfect for use in both cars and commercial vehicles. It is very
easy to connect to the ECU or the vehicle with an optional lab
adapter box or OBD cable (SAE-J1962 connector). Power is
supplied to the interface via the vehicle thus saving the notebook
battery pack during mobile operation. The product compatibility
of the EDIC family guarantees simple integration into existing
systems.
Advantages of EDICusb
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 EDICusb (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 EDICusb. 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 EDICusb ensuring it is always perfectly equipped for
future applications. Customized software solutions can also be
realized on request.
