FlexRay Interface Family Manual

2.1 Common Features

FlexRay Interfaces for PCI and USB

Further properties

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

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

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.

2.2 Synchronization

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 Hard ware 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.

- 8 - Version 2.0 © Vector Informatik GmbH

Manual 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 synchronization).

Synchronization by Binder connector

Synchronization by sync connector

2.3 Trigger

Trigger inputs and outputs

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

The synchronization of multiple VN3300 can be done either through the Binder connector 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 Piggyba ck slot. The synchronization is done through a ribbon cable with a 10-pin standa rd socket.

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

possible.

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

al circuit of pin 4 and 5.

r input

If pin 4 and 5 are being used for trigger input, the trigger will be fired by a falling e

3.2.2 VN3600/VN7600

1. First, loosen the VN3600/VN7600 housing screws on the side with the D-SUB9

connector. This requires removing the two black decorative caps. Then carefully pull the PC-board out of the housing.

2. The FRpiggy is fastened by a screw and retainer. Please loosen the appropriate screw including the retainer and carefully remove the FRpiggy from the mounting location.

3. Insert the replacement FRpiggy. When doing this please make sure that the connectors are not laterally offset.

4. Secure the new FRpiggy with the appropriate screw and retainer.

5. Place the VN3600/VN7600 main board back in the housing verifying that it is inserted properly. This operation involves placing the housing on a table with its back side (side with the bar code) facing upward. Then the main board with the FRpiggy is inserted into the upper guide rails with the VN3600/VN7600 facing upward.

6. It should be possible to slide the main board in the housing up to a few millimeters from the end without forcing it in. Close the housing by applying light pressure, and then secure it with the appropriate screw fasteners. The screws should be secure but not excessively tight.

2.4.3 Power Manager

Timing requirements Many desktop PCs have power managers which block the CPU for a specific time.

This impairs accuracy of the time system. If your application has stringent timing requirements (e.g. time-driven sending of messages or time-driven evaluations), you must deactivate these power managers.

Power management settings may be contained:

¼ in the BIOS setup, ¼ on the Control Panel of Windows XP

No further mention will be made of the power manager in this document.

3.2 Checking Installation

To perform the following test steps, the device must be inserted in the PC or connected.

¼ Open the Device Manager. ¼ Check to see whether the device is shown in the group Vector-Hardware. If this

device is not listed, the device driver is not or improperly installed. In this case open the Other Components item that is marked with a yellow ? in the Device Manager.

¼ If you find an entry for Vector <device> here, the driver is improperly installed.

Correct the driver installation as described in section 3.3.

¼ If you do not find the entries for the device, the device driver has not been

installed yet.

3.3 Correction of Driver Installation

¼ If the driver is improperly installed, the entry Vector <device> appears in Other

Components of the Device Manager. To solve this problem, connect the device

with the PC and restart the Vector Driver Setup.
