FlexRay, the bus system for high data throughput in the automobile, requires high-performance interfaces. Benefit from using the Vector FlexRay interfaces for developing, simulating, testing, measuring or calibrating of FlexRay networks. Vector offers you with the innovative VN7600 an interface for developing FlexRay and CAN systems. The VN7600 provides the complete FlexRay and CAN functionality and offers you 2 FlexRay (A/B) channels as well as 3 CAN channels.
Application Areas
With the FlexRay interfaces, Vector provides you with powerful interfaces for accessing FlexRay networks. Use the FlexRay interfaces together with Vector's CANoe and CANalyzer tools (since V6.0 as well as V7.0 for VN7600) for:
- flexible analysis of FlexRay networks and controllers,
- precise time analysis of communication data,
- analysing and testing of ECUs,
- gateway applications with CAN, LIN, and MOST (multibus concept of CANoe and CANalyzer).
The FlexRay interfaces together with CANape (since V6.1 as well as V6.5 with SP for VN7600) also support you in calibrating via XCP-on-FlexRay. Additionally, you can create custom applications by using FlexRay-specific libraries.
The FPGA-based Startup Monitoring is particularly helpful at the beginning of a FlexRay development. It allows you to detect FlexRay frames and symbols, even before the communication controller has synchronized itself to the bus. This also facilitates the analysis of problems in the bus configuration. Another advantage of the independent Startup Monitoring unit is that it can be operated at the same time as the communication controller. This allows you both Startup Monitoring and normal transmit operation without restart.
You can easily test non-coldstart nodes with only one interface. For this purpose VN3300, VN3600 and VN7600 offer you a second communication controller, and the FlexCard a FPGA-based send unit respectively.
Detailed information about interfaces for FlexRay and CAN is available in the data sheet.
