FlexRay Interface Family

Manual

 

 

2.1Common Features

FlexRay Interfaces for PCI and USB

Further properties

The FlexRay Interface Family offers a future-proofed and powerful solution for development, simulation, test, measurement or calibration of FlexRay networks through an FPGA-based FlexRay communication controller.

The devices have a fast 32 bit microcontroller (312 MHz) and allow, besides the ability of transmitting and receiving of data and null frames, the detection of invalid frames on the bus. Future features can also be added in the field by FPGA updates.

¼ Simulation of comprehensive networks due to the 2 MB transmission

 

¼ Time synchronization of multiple devices of the FlexRay or XL Interface Family

 

¼ Cycle multiplexing

 

¼ Trigger input and output

 

¼ Supports 254 byte maximum payload

 

¼ In-cycle response

 

¼ Hardware-based incrementing of a payload area

 

¼ Startup monitoring

 

¼ FlexRay-Driver-Library for creating own applications

Configuration

The Vector Hardware Configuration tool (see Start | Settings | Control Panel |

 

Vector Hardware) enables the configuration of the devices. Further details can be

 

found in the installation instructions.

Bus types

The connection of the devices to the FlexRay bus is done by transceivers that are

 

available as plug-in boards (Piggybacks). A list of available FRpiggies can be found in

 

chapter

Piggyback

on page 24.

2.2Synchronization

Software/hardware synchronization

Functionality of hardware synchronization

The time stamps, which are created during a measurement by devices of the FlexRay Interface and XL Family, can be synchronized by software or hardware.

The software synchronization is driver-based and available for all applications without any restrictions. The software synchronization can be enabled in Vector Hardware Config | General information | Settings | Software time synchronization. The accuracy of the time stamp correction depends on the device and is typically 50 µs.

The hardware synchronization of maximum four devices is done through the SYNCcable (see description below) and has to be supported by the application. The accuracy of the time stamp correction depends on the application and is typically 1 µs.

The devices to be synchronized must be interconnected by a party line (two-wire bus; signals: SYNC and GND).

At each high-low edge of the sync line the Vector device generates a time stamp that is provided to the application via the driver. This allows the application to synchronize the time stamps of different devices to a common time base.

The synchronization edges can be generated by the devices of the FlexRay Family or other devices of the XL Family.

FlexRay Interface Family

 

 

 

Info: The time synchronization must be supported by the application. For further infor-

 

mation please refer to the relevant manual. Please note that the time synchronization

 

of the driver must be disabled, if multiple devices of the FlexRay and XL Family are

 

being operated on a PC and interconnected via the synchronization line (see Vector

 

Hardware Config | General information | Settings | Software time synchroni-

 

zation).

Synchronization by

The devices have a time synchronization signal at pin 2 of the 3-pin Binder connector.

Binder connector

You can connect devices of the Vector FlexRay or XL Family with the SYNCcableXL

 

(see chapter

SYNCcableXL

on page 25) to this pin.

Synchronization by

The synchronization of multiple VN3300 can be done either through the Binder con-

sync connector

nector outside the PC housing or by the internal sync connector. The internal sync

 

connector is a 10-pin connector (90° offset) and available next to the Piggyback slot.

 

The synchronization is done through a ribbon cable with a 10-pin standard socket.

 

 

 

Info: Synchronization through the Binder and sync connector at the same time is not

 

possible.

2.3Trigger

Trigger inputs

The devices of the FlexRay Family have a trigger connector each with four lines (see

and outputs

the according pin assignment). Pin 2 is an independent trigger input and pin 3 an

 

independent trigger output. Pin 4 and 5 can be used as trigger input as well as trigger

 

output. The configuration of the triggers and their actions is set in the application

 

(e. g. CANoe). The following picture depicts the internal circuit of pin 4 and 5.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pin 4 and 5 used for trigger input

If pin 4 and 5 are being used for trigger input, the trigger will be fired by a falling edge on the trigger line. The trigger is processed inside the application. If the trigger input is being wired, the internal 4.7 kOhm resistor must be kept in mind.

D-SUB9 connector

The VN7600 has three CAN channels through D-SUB9 connectors (male). The con-

 

nection to the CAN bus is done by transceivers, which are available as plug-in boards

 

(Piggybacks). The pin assignment of a CAN channel depends on the inserted CAN-

 

piggy. Further information can be found in the accessories manual on the Driver
