Meet us at the SAE OBD Symposium 2024 in Amsterdam and join the presentation "Diagnostic Communication with a ZEV using UDS on IP (SAE J1979-3)” by Peter Subke. The presentation explains the extension of SAE J1979 and its "OBD Modes" to UDS and their application in ZEVonUDS for the diagnosis of ZEV drive systems, including the reading of the VIN using DoIP.
In aftersales, faults and problems need to be identified and resolved as quickly as possible. The service tester is an indispensable tool for workshop employees and mobile service teams when localizing faults, troubleshooting and commissioning components and vehicles. With Softing TDX, all the benefits of digital transformation in aftersales can be exploited by storing and linking data centrally.
To successfully manage the transition to the software-defined vehicle and ensure safety and performance in the increasingly digital vehicle world, Softing Automotive has developed an innovative solution for next-generation flash and test applications. Meet Softing Automotive at the ELIV Congress 2023 in Bonn to learn more about the next generation of vehicle test & flash solutions.
Simulations are used to increase efficiency and minimize risks throughout the vehicle life cycle. Solutions for diagnostic simulation of ECUs and vehicles enable process-safe regression testing of diagnostic testers ("test the tester"), facilitate the commissioning of test sequences, and provide the best possible training for employees, as all required vehicle variants, including fault patterns, can be easily simulated.
SOVD changes diagnostics, the standard offers great advantages not least in the interaction of several partners via the Internet. However, additional methodologies are necessary in the early engineering phases, and the standard simply has not been developed for ECU diagnostics.
Due to the rapid increase in electronics and software in the vehicle, testing ECUs is becoming increasingly complex. It is no longer only individual systems that have to be tested, but also the interactions between the systems. One possible key to the solution is test automation. While good results are already being achieved in many areas of vehicle electronics through simulations, this step still needs to be taken in vehicle diagnostics. It is obvious: An external device, the diagnostic tester, is developed or adapted to perform the test - but the necessary counterpart in the form of an ECU or vehicle is missing to test the tester. With Softing TCS, a configurable diagnostic simulation with real communication is available in time, which considerably accelerates the creation of automated tests.
We expanded our Vehicle Communication Interface (VCI) portfolio with a universal, robust diagnostic interface via CAN/FD. The diagnostic interface VIN|ING 800 unites state-of-the-art hardware design for CAN/FD and maximum sturdiness with all-round impact protection at a highly attractive price. For many service applications requiring just one CAN interface, this device is the perfect choice as it provides a lean and at the same time powerful interface from the application to the vehicle. VIN|ING 800 can also be deployed to efficiently solve communication tasks in the engineering of vehicle systems.
In a world where vehicle electronics is constantly evolving, especially via software, engineers and technicians are constantly faced with new challenges. Ed & Ted, two experts in the fields of diagnostics and testing, take on the demanding tasks over the entire vehicle lifecycle. But while Ed works with tried-and-tested methods and technologies, Ted is already relying on Softing's innovative solutions, which make his work much easier and more efficient.
Meet Softing Automotive at the WCX World Congress Experience, April 18-20, 2023 in Detroit, MI, USA. On April 20 at 1:30 pm, Softing Automotive's Director of Business Development, Peter Subke, will speak about "UDSonCAN and OBDonUDS: CAN-Based Application Layer Protocols for the Diagnostic Communication between the In-Vehicle CAN and MVCI-Based External Test Equipment".
Another great milestone for the TCS team: Just in time for the Christmas season, the first diagnostic simulations are on their way to the customer. Markus Steffelbauer, Head of Product Management at Softing Automotive, couldn't be prouder: "Our thanks go to the entire team, which has developed a solution in a really short time that will greatly simplify the work of our customers. In the next few months, we'll be adding a few more exciting features!"
