HSX Breakout - Modular High-Performance Interface for Vehicle Electronics

Overview

Protocol Handling in the Interface

The vehicle protocols are handled directly in the interface. This ensures fast response times and reliable real-time behavior regardless of the PC operating system. The use of a powerful 32-bit microcontroller enables parallel operation of several communication channels as is required in diagnostics and flash applications on the entire vehicle.

Software Interfaces

The communication protocols UDS (ISO 14229), KWP 2000 (ISO 14230, ISO 15765) as well as SAE J1939 are supported via the standardized D-PDU API (ISO 22900-2). The VCI can also be used as a PassThru device in accordance with SAE J2534. Together with the Diagnostic Tool Set DTS from Softing, a total solution in accordance with the MCD-3D standard ISO 22900-3 and ODX technology can be realized.

Scalability

With the addition of up to two extension boards, the number of communication channels available on the PC system can quickly be adapted to the relevant application. Modules with two additional CAN and FlexRay interfaces each are available.

Flexibility

Software upgrades are also available for HSX ensuring it is always perfectly equipped for future applications. This is also the way to realize customer-specific software solutions. CAN high-speed, CAN low-speed and CAN single-wire are available as bus physics at various pins for one CAN channel. The HSX interface is equipped with digital I/Os, analog inputs as well as an SD Card slot for further applications.
