CARcorder – Data Logger for FlexRay and CAN

The CARcorder is available as Basic or Plus version. The Basic version provides already six CAN interfaces (ISO 11898-2 / 11898-3), two LIN and two RS232 interfaces, an USB host/device interface as well as an interface switchable between SAE J1850 and K/L-line. In addition, the device comes with digital and analog inputs and outputs each providing eight channels.
Furthermore, the Plus version of the CARcorder offers a FlexRay interface with two channels.

The two processor architecture of the CARcorder enables the fanless device to record all data synchronous and without any losses in real time and with a time stamp accuracy of 1 µs.

The universal Embedded Platform, which was already successful presented in March on the Embedded World Fair in Nuremberg, can as of now be delivered to interested customers.

The Embedded Platform was specially designed for customers, which like to develop applications for the industrial or automotive area, but do not yet have the final target hardware with the required field bus interfaces available.

The hardware supports a temperature range between -20 °C and +70 °C, is based on a powerful microcontroller module and provides many interfaces for the connection to all important field bus systems (FlexRay, 4 x CAN, 2 x LIN, K-Line and others). In addition, RS-232 interfaces for the connection of external peripheral devices are available, as well as digital and analog I/Os.
Time stamps with an accuracy of 100 ns can be assigned to the messages on all bus interfaces. This also applies for the analog and digital I/Os.

The FlexRay/CAN Gateway software package enables the user to set up a flexible and configurable gateway for the transmission of FlexRay messages and signals to CAN, based on the FlexRay CCM or the FRC-EP150 hardware platform. In case of using the new FlexRay platform FRC-EP150, easy user configurable gateways with up to four CAN interfaces are possible.
The transmission can be performed in both directions and is especially useful for applications where existing CAN-based measurement and control technology has to be integrated into FlexRay environments. In addition, data exchange from CAN-to-CAN and FlexRay-to-FlexRay is possible.

IXXAT’s CARcorder is an universal, automotive diagnosis and logging system for all vehicle communication busses.

The two processor architecture enables the fanless device to record all traffic synchronously and without loosing any data. At this, the CARcorder provides the following interfaces: FlexRay, 6 x CAN, 4 x LIN, K-Line, Ethernet, Digital/Analog-IO and RS232.
The logging application runs on an embedded PC with 520 MHz clock frequency and Windows CE operating system. The separate field bus controller provides a real time recording capability with a time stamp accuracy of 1 µs.

IXXAT’s Automotive Test Platform (ATP) enables the fast integration of customer specific applications into automotive communication systems, without having own hardware or comprehensive knowledge of automotive bus systems.

The Automotive Test Platform is based on a dual processor concept, which is a
decisive advantage of this solution. The controller, which is responsible for the fieldbusses, is already pre-configured and provides all functions, necessary for communication, to the application processor via a simple API.

IXXAT will present it’s new universal Embedded Platform on the Embedded World fair in Nuremberg. This platform is intended for customers who like to start the development of specific application software for the automotive area fast, but do not have the target hardware available.

The hardware supports a temperature range between -20 °C and +70 °C, is based on a powerful ARM9 microcontroller and provides many interfaces for the connection to all important automotive bus systems. Available interfaces are among others: FlexRay, 4 x CAN, 2 x LIN and K-Line. In addition, further RS-232 interfaces for the connection of external peripheral devices are available, as well as digital and analog I/Os.
The chosen hardware architecture provides a high data throughput for all interfaces without claiming to much microcontroller computing time. Time stamps with an accuracy of 1 µs can be assigned to the messages on all automotive bus system interfaces. This also applies for the analog and digital I/Os.
