Areas of Application

• All possible applications of diagnostics in Engineering, Testing, Manufacturing and Service
• For manufacturers of cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles and non-road mobile machinery as well as tier 1 system suppliers and ECU suppliers

Successfully Mastering Challenges

Increased competition and frequent model changes are major challenges for the manufacturers of cars and commercial vehicles as well as for system suppliers. Vehicles are becoming more and more powerful, safe and environmentally-friendly all the time. These innovations nearly always entail new software developments. The number of ECUs and the associated networking are thus continually increasing.

Mastering Complexity Safely

This growing complexity must be mastered over the entire lifetime of the vehicles. In addition to control functions, diagnostic functions have also gradually become more and more significant. Originally, diagnostics was only intended for checking that legal emissions standards were being adhered to. Today diagnostics is used in the entire value chain from Engineering through Testing and Manufacturing to Repair Shop Service.

Applying Current Standards

Together, vehicle and tool manufacturers have specified an international standard for a data-driven diagnostic operating system with standardized interfaces. The data interface defines ODX as data model and universal data exchange format. The application interface permits symbolic access to ECU and vehicle information. The bus system interface enables the use of various bus protocols and interfaces from different manufacturers. The Diagnostic Tool Set implements these standards. In addition to the DTS Base System with its communication server, it contains, for example, an ODX authoring system, an engineering tester and various interfaces which provide other applications with simple access to diagnostic data and functions.

Benefits

• Significant cost reduction in comparison to proprietary developments
• Highly effective because, with consistent use, diagnostics only has to be implemented once in the entire value chain
• Future-proof as based on current standards
• Top quality thanks to data verification and early detection and remedy of communication problems and function errors

Standards

• Communication server: ASAM MCD runtime system
• Data interface: ASAM MCD-2D (ODX)
• Application interface: ASAM MCD-3D
