Ethernet-based networks and the protocols built upon them continue to grow in importance in the embedded environment. In contrast to IT networks in the office area, the main focus is on transmission of periodic signals. Furthermore, real-time Ethernet systems generally react sensitively to disturbances of connected analysis tools. Option IP lets you extend CANoe by adding support of Ethernet systems. Exclusive use of Ethernet interfaces on the PC prevents Windows and other applications from affecting the real-time Ethernet system.
Integrating Ethernet in CANoe also gives you the ability to transparently transmit CAN messages via WLAN and/or Ethernet (CAN tunneling). A supplemental CAN-(W)LAN gateway is needed for this.
Overview of Advantages
Embedded Ethernet:
- Extraction of periodic signals from Ethernet packets and their display in Data and Graphic windows
- Processing of Ethernet packets and signals extracted from them in CAPL
- Use of panels to display and influence signals
- Sending of your own Ethernet packets configured with Ethernet Packet Builder
- Programmable sending of Ethernet packets in CAPL
- Simulation of Ethernet nodes and gateways
- Testing of gateway functionality by analyzing the communication on different systems (Ethernet and CAN)
- Full support of CANoe’s CAN functionality
- No effect on network communication by the Windows operating system or other applications thanks to isolated network interface. This may be a necessary requirement, especially in real-time systems.
CAN Tunneling:
- Wireless receiving and sending of CAN messages in case of difficult to access or mobile CAN bus systems
- Simultaneous analysis of the CAN communication on multiple vehicles
- Remote monitoring of CAN bus systems via WLAN/Ethernet
- Full support of CANoe’s CAN functionality
