VN4610 - 802.11p/CAN (FD)/GNSS Interface

The VN4610 interface is a special solution for IEEE 802.11p and CAN (FD) based applications. It is designed to optimally match CANoe Option .Car2x. This makes the VN4610 the ideal extension of your CANoe.Car2x test tool for getting your 802.11p-based ECUs on the road to series production.

The VN4610 supports receiving and transmitting of IEEE 802.11p frames which are used for the implementation of Car2x/V2X applications. The built-in GNSS receiver supplies the current time and the current position. All provided time stamps can be synchronized to UTC time.

Advantages

Transmitting/receiving frames according to IEEE 802.11p
Two configurable IEEE 802.11p WLAN channels
Unfiltered forwarding of IEEE 802.11p data packets to the application
Adjustable communication parameters such as radio channel selection, bandwidth, transmission power, modulation type and protocol format LPD/EPD
Two CAN high-speed channels CAN (FD) capable
GNSS receiver provides current position and time
Precise time stamp (accuracy 1μs) based on GNSS time
VN4610 and CANoe. Car2x/CANalyzer. Car2x are optimally matched to each other
Synchronization with several interfaces and with other bus systems (Ethernet, CAN, LIN, FlexRay,...)
Analog/digital IO functionality
Robust housing
Power supply and temperature range ideal for automotive and industrial applications

Application Areas

The VN4610 meets all hardware requirements that are needed as a basis for testing DSRC applications via IEEE 802.11p radio channels.

Analysis: The VN4610 forwards all received radio frames of the two radio channels unfiltered to the test tool for analysis. Therefore, frames can also be analyzed which would otherwise be rejected by a ECU due to timing, geo information or protocol errors. Since the time stamps of the messages on the bus channels are synchronized in time, latency measurements can also be carried out.
Simulation/Stimulation: CANoe .Car2x together with the VN4610 offers a perfectly coordinated solution to create a virtual environment stimulation for testing your Car2x/V2X applications. The VN4610 receives/transmits frames, whereby the communication parameters can be easily and individually configured for the different tests.
GNSS Receiver: The VN4610 provides precise position, time and speed information that can be used by the application as test stimulus or other purposes. In addition, absolute UTC timestamps can be used to synchronize recordings of distributed measurements for subsequent analysis.
