Hardware Interfaces for CAN and LIN

Do you need a high-performance, user-friendly, and adaptive hardware interface for the development, simulation, testing, and maintenance of CAN and LIN networks? Then the Vector XL-Interfaces offer you the ideal solution for use with notebook, desktop or industrial computer.

The connection with the PC is realized with the following interfaces: ExpressCard, PCMCIA, PCI, PCIe, PXI or USB 2.0.

With each XL-Interface you dispose of two independent channels. The innovative CANcardXLe together with the TWINcabs offer 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 applications.

Application Areas:

Together with the Vector tools CANoe, CANalyzer, or CANape, the XL-Interfaces support you in developing distributed systems, testing and calibrating of ECUs. The variety of bus transceivers allows you to adapt the XL-Interfaces to your CAN or LIN application, e.g. in automobile technology, commercial vehicle technology and automation technology.

You can access multiple CAN and LIN channels by combining several XL-Interfaces as you like. Via a party line you will achieve a optimal time synchronization. In addition, it is possible to create your own applications using the XL-Driver-Library, which is included in delivery. Of course these applications can also be used with all other Vector interfaces.

Functions

The XL-Interface Family offers the following features:

• Time synchronization
• Simultaneous operation of several interfaces
• Buffering of messages on the interface

Detailed information about interfaces for CAN/LIN is available in the data sheet.
