Case Studies

At Halmstad University in Sweden, work has been proceeding to develop a state-of-the-art simulator for an excavating machine. The prototype uses Virtual Reality to simulate the environment in an excavator. The VR goggles display what the operator would see in an actual excavator and the driver's seat also moves according to what the operator does – making the experience very real.

IXXAT PC/CAN interfaces enable easy connection of medical devices from different manufacturers with a common control unit. The use of a standardized bus system such as CANopen saves development costs, enables universal and scalable use of components and also considerably reduces the number of cables.

IXXAT CANblue II is used to read diagnostic data from a racing car wirelessly.

ETAS uses IXXAT PC interface boards to enable communication between their LABCAR HiL test system and different Electronic Control Units (ECUs).

Super B batteries use IXXAT USB-to-CAN and IXXAT protocol software to handle communication between lithium ion batteries and a battery management system.
