Network Designer FlexRay The Design Environment for Straight-Forward FlexRay Development > Define a global signal pool. Signals of the pool can be reused in all networks and vehicle projects > Create the communication relationships between individual ECUs in the FlexRay-specific Network Explorer > Design of communication schedules for static and dynamic communication segments > Visualize gateway relationships between networks of different types > FlexRay-specific consistency checks > Take over the communication data of a CAN network as basis for the development of a new FlexRay cluster by import of existing DBC files > Integration in the Vector tool chain for FlexRay Cluster and Controller Parameterization Parameters for the FlexRay cluster and communication controller are configured in user-friendly dialogs, separated into high-level and low-level parameters. You define high-level parameters early in the development process, thereby defining fundamental system properties. Low-level parameters can be defined and adapted at a later time. Consistency is already checked at input, and inconsist-ent Overview of Advantages > Design functions tailor-made for the design of FlexRay systems > Easy parameterization of clusters and controllers > Check the designs for conformity to FlexRay specification 2.1 > Support of single and dual channel FlexRay clusters > Interactive design of the FlexRay schedule > Support of the FIBEX format 2/6 The highly complex nature of a FlexRay system demands a powerful and user-friendly design tool. Network Designer FlexRay is the optimal environment for the design of FlexRay network architec-tures and associated data communication. Application Areas Network Designer FlexRay supports all FlexRay developers in cre-ating a FlexRay communication description. > Network design for safety-critical applications by supporting redundant data transmission on the FlexRay channels > Design of FlexRay “data backbones” by utilizing both channels of a FlexRay cluster parameters are corrected automatically on request. Functions The interactive operation gives you comprehensive support in the complex task of designing FlexRay systems. > Focused parameter configuration by sub-classifying parameters as high-level or low-level FlexRay Schedule Design DaVinci Network Designer FlexRay has a FlexRay-specific Schedule Editor to design the static and dynamic schedules. The interactive graphical user interface lets you create a schedule using drag & drop operations. Designing the FlexRay Schedule using Network Designer FlexRay More Information: www.vector.com/contact
