Network Designer CAN The Unique Tool for Designing the CAN Network Architecture Functions The convenient and intuitive user interface gives you quick access to communication data, which you can also define and edit efficiently. This is supported by different views of the data – hard-ware Overview of Advantages > Dedicated functions for the design of CAN communication matrices > Assured communication integrity by comprehensive consistency checks > Timing analysis for predicting the runtime behavior of CAN networks early in the development phase > Create AUTOSAR and non-AUTOSAR projects > Import and export options (DBC or FIBEX) to transfer data to suppliers and project partners topology, communication data of the CAN networks, global signal lists, signal routing via gateways, etc. 2/2 > Create hardware topologies for vehicles and vehicle models based on ECUs and networks > Define communication signals consistently. The signals can be used in all networks and on all vehicle projects. > Create the communication relationships between the individual ECUs in a CAN-specific Network Explorer > Analyze the networks for their expected time behavior (bus load, transmission times, etc.) > Design all of the CAN buses for a vehicle. Routed signals are automatically detected and visualized in a separate view. For the development of extensively networked CAN systems in motor vehicles, Network Designer CAN provides the optimal envi-ronment for the design of the network architecture and communi-cation data. This design serves as the basis for all subsequent development steps such as system simulation, configuration of ECU-specific software, detailed ECU tests and network analysis. Application Areas Network Designer CAN is the central tool in the development pro-cess at automotive OEMs and suppliers of ECU-specific software. It is used to create communication data, either for individual CAN buses or for entire CAN systems with multiple buses and gateway ECUs.
