HARDWARE INTERFACES Hardware Interfaces for CAN, LIN and J1708 Special CAN Features: > Detecting and generating error frames > Accurate measuring of bus load > Analyzing the CAN bus without influencing it (silent mode) > Sending and receiving of data and remote frames Special LIN Features: > Conformance tests of LIN2.1 specification (CANcardXLe) > Detecting and generating of transmission errors, synchroniza-tion Do you need a high-performance, user-friendly, and adaptive hardware interface for the development, simulation, testing, and maintenance of CAN, LIN and J1708 networks? Then the Vector XL-Interfaces offer you the ideal solution for use with notebook, desktop or industrial computers. The interfaces are convincing with their high data throughput, precise time stamps, and an exact bus load measurement. Each XL-Interface provides you with two independent channels. The innovative CANcardXLe together with the TWINcabs offers up to four channels. Due to their powerful 32 bit microcontroller and the exchangeable bus transceivers the XL-Interfaces are well equipped to handle all your future applica-tions. errors and checksum errors and other protocol violations > Analyzing the LIN bus without influencing it > Sending and receiving of headers and complete frames > Measuring of the baud rate in header and response > Measuring of the frame length > Detecting of the checksum model > Disturbing of header and slave response Application Areas Together with the Vector tools CANoe, CANalyzer, or CANape, the XL-Interfaces support you in developing distributed systems, test-ing Highlights The XL-Interface Family offers you the following functions: > High data throughput (80,000 messages per second) > Accurate time stamp > High flexibility through wide choice of exchangeable transceivers > Message preprocessing on the card to reduce PC load > No loss of data, even at burst load of 1 Mbit > FPGA update possible > Time synchronization with other hardware is possible via an external connection (party line) > Up to 4 channels with ExpressCard interface and TWINcabs and calibrating of ECUs. The variety of bus transceivers allows you to adapt the XL-Inter-faces to your CAN, LIN or J1708 application, e.g. in: > Automobile and commercial vehicle technology > Automation technology > Air, space and marine technology You can access multiple CAN, LIN and J1708 channels by combining several XL-Interfaces as you like. Via a party line you will achieve optimal time synchronization with an accuracy of 1us. In addition, it is possible to create your own applications using the XL-Driver-Library, which is included in delivery. For your CAN and FlexRay applications Vector offers you the power-ful Functions The XL-Interface Family offers the following features: > Time synchronization > Simultaneous operation of several interfaces > Buffering of messages on the interface VN7600. A high-performance real-time platform is created when the VN8900 Network Interface is used in combination with CANoe or CANalyzer. Its numerous application areas range from MiniHIL applications to system simulations with Simulink and remaining bus simulations, gateway implementations as well as test runs. Bus Transceiver You can choose from a steadily growing number of Vector bus transceivers known as CAN-/LIN-/J1708cabs, CAN-/LIN-/ J1708piggies and the new, innovative TWINcabs. You can operate the two channels of the XL-Interfaces in any com-bination V2.11 2010-04 of the available transceivers. For further information see the bus transceiver overview.
