The VN1530 and VN1531 network interfaces provide access to CAN and LIN networks via the PCIe interface.
They are designed for test benches, test computers and rack‑based systems requiring high channel density, performance and precise time synchronization.
Highlights
- Flexible channel architecture: Four onboard channels and two additional configurable channels via piggybacks* support versatile bus configurations.
- High bus performance: Full bus load on all supported channels with minimal latency and low host CPU load.
- Advanced LIN testing: Support for LIN stress tests, including LIN 2.1 conformance testing and bit disturbance functions.
- Precise time synchronization: Synchronization of multiple devices and bus systems such as CAN (FD), LIN, FlexRay, MOST and Ethernet.
- Open and extensible platform: Support for CANoe, CANalyzer, CANape as well as custom and third‑party applications via the XL Driver Library.
Main Application Areas
Analysis, simulation and testing of ECUs, sensors, actuators and gateways
VN1530 and VN1531 support analysis, simulation and testing of various automotive components.
They enable reliable validation of communication between ECUs, sensors, actuators and gateways.
High performance remaining bus simulations
The interfaces enable powerful remaining bus simulations with a high number of channels.
This allows complex network scenarios to be represented and tested realistically.
Measurement and calibration of ECUs via XCP
VN1530 and VN1531 support measurement and calibration of ECUs via the XCP protocol.
They enable accurate and efficient data acquisition over CAN and LIN.
End of line testing and flashing
The interfaces are suitable for end‑of‑line testing and flashing in production and test environments.
They support reproducible workflows with high interface performance.
Precise timing analysis of communication data
VN1530 and VN1531 enable detailed time‑based analysis of communication data.
This allows investigation of signal and message timing with high precision.
Setups with a high number of CAN and/or LIN channels
Due to their flexible channel architecture, the interfaces are designed for setups with many CAN and LIN channels.
They are particularly suited for test benches and rack‑based systems with high bus density.
