Learn all about SOVD (Service-Oriented Vehicle Diagnostics), the standard for diagnostics in the software-defined vehicle (SDV). Learn how SOVD enables standardised access to diagnostic systems via an API - from remote access to applications in production and workshops. Discover use cases, basic concepts and benefits of this future-orientated approach for the automotive industry.
Innovative technologies in the automotive industry require adaptation of vehicle architecture and diagnostic processes. Softing Automotive offers a toolchain based on diagnostic standards to meet market trends and reduce complexity.
Simulation in test preparation enables the verification of test routines and the entire test setup, which reduces the time required for troubleshooting. ODX-based diagnostic simulation improves test sequences, minimises test effort and ensures accurate fault detection. In our short Solution Spotlight video, Thomas Blocher explains the use case and shows how an ODX-based simulation project can be easily created and customised with Softing TCS.admin.
See how diagnostic simulation of vehicles or ECUs optimizes test processes, eliminates error sources and enables reliable test results & full test coverage.
We congratulate our esteemed colleague Peter Subke on the publication of his third technical book "Vehicle Diagnostics – Fundamentals, Bus Systems, Protocols, Applications." The book supports engineers and technicians from development, testing, production and service at vehicle manufacturers and suppliers who deal with mechatronic systems, their data exchange and diagnostic protocols or services and who are interested in innovations based on networked and intelligent electronic systems. This specialised book is also an excellent source of information for students of electrical engineering, automotive engineering and computer science at universities, technical colleges and vocational schools.
In this webinar you will learn the basics of diagnostic communication (UDS, DoCAN, DoIP). It also covers how UDS is used for diagnostic communication with a ZEV to read the VIN. Furthermore, a practical demo provides a graphical user interface of a diagnostic service tester.
The automotive industry is moving towards environmentally friendly drives and digital, automated functions. This increases the complexity of vehicle electronics and the demands on communication. Standardization in vehicle diagnostics is therefore becoming increasingly important in order to simplify engineering, production and service and to ensure interoperability and cost-effectiveness over the entire vehicle life cycle.
Have you ever wondered how practical it would be to combine all diagnostic functions in one single tool? The Softing Diagnostic Tool Set is an intuitive diagnostic tool for the entire range of use cases in both vehicle engineering and development as well as diagnostics, from ECU testing to vehicle release in engineering, testing and manufacturing.
With easy to create automated communication tests, the large number of ECUs and their variants as well as the wide variety of diagnostic services and parameterizations can be conveniently verified. With the Test Case Editor in Softing OTX.studio, the validation of ECUs is created quickly and easily by using an intuitive drag & drop function. It is also possible to visualize the results in XML or HTML format and map the statistics of the test campaigns. In this video you can see how simple it is to create ECU communication tests.
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.
