Welcome to CANoe, the versatile software solution for the development, simulation, analysis and test of individual software components or subsystems as well as electronic control units (ECUs) and entire distributed networks.
Whenever you are dealing with distributed systems – whether in the automotive industry or related industries, medical technology, avionics, or in the industrial sector – CANoe products are reliable throughout the entire development process – from planning to system testing.
This applies to Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) in virtual execution environments on the computer, in virtual machines or in the cloud as well as Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) on prototype hardware or real target hardware.
Advantages
CANoe provides tools for developing and testing distributed embedded systems across a wide range of industries.
Its extensive functionality and configuration capabilities are highly valued by users worldwide.
- One universal tool for all development and test tasks – whether in a SIL or HIL context
- Easy automated testing with consistently reusable test runs in all development phases
- Simulation of error situations early in the development process to easily identify and correct problems
- User-friendly graphical and text-based evaluation of results
- Independence from hardware and other software components – ideal for CI/CT environments right from project start
- Comprehensive capabilities for simulating and testing special applications such as automotive ECU diagnostics
Application Areas
Every development task comes with its own set of challenges. The strengths of the CANoe products lie in its wide range of application areas, tailored to specific user needs and technical requirements. See for yourself.

The Product Concept: Smart to Suit Every Need

- Are you working at a test station or in a CI/CT environment?
- Do you only use a single bus system or a large number of different systems?
- Or do you only run pre-built configurations?
CANoe products are based on a modular concept with editions, variants and options. They can all be flexibly customized to your requirements.
Simply put together the right product configuration for you!
Key Features
Extended Real Time
The Extended Real Time (ERT) supports simulations with very high realtime requirements - so that you can reach your goal as demanded.
Interfaces, APIs and Tool Integrations
Many interfaces and tool coupling options for special tools in complex, heterogeneous tool environments.
OEM-Specific Extensions
These simulation extensions are composed of several components. The components are typically based on a standard and are extended with OEM- specific add-ons.
Simulate And Test SDC Participants | NEW
Service-oriented Device Connectivity (SDC) is the standard for interoperability in modern medical environments. With the new SDC add-on, you can easily simulate and test SDC participants as well as distributed SDC use cases and SDC applications.
Software-in-the-Loop
CANoe supports the development, testing, and analysis of software in cyber-physical systems, including individual components and entire systems. It offers virtual execution environments for Windows and Linux, running on computers, VMs, or Docker containers in the cloud.
Testing of Security-Protected ECUs and Networks
Our Security Manager offers testing services for automotive ECUs despite security protection. It is the link between CANoe and further Vector tools and the OEM-specific security implementation. With it, security functions can be used uniformly in the tools.
Selected Videos
In our YouTube channels you will also find YouTube playlists such as Vector CANoe, CANoe Get Started, or the specific diagnostics series CANoe Diagnostics as well as CANoe and DoIP (Vehicle Diagnostics over IP). Just take a look there, too.
