Network Interfaces - CAN / LIN

Bus Interfaces for CAN, CAN FD, CAN XL, LIN, K-Line, J1708 and IO
VN1600

The VN1600 interface family provides a flexible and fast access to CAN, CAN FD, CAN XL and LIN networks. While the VN1610/VN1611 with 2 channels focuses on minimum size and weight, the 4-channel VN1630A/VN1640A is designed for flexibility and IO support. The VN1630 log additionally has a recording functionality. The 4-channel VN1641 provides access to CAN, CAN FD and CAN XL networks. Whether in the laboratory, at the test bench, at the service garage or in the vehicle, these interfaces provide the ideal connection between Vector tools and the physical networks. The VN1600 family supports a wide range of applications, from simple bus analysis to complex remaining bus simulations, diagnostic, calibration and flash programming tasks.

Advantage of VN1600

  • High flexibility in the selection of bus transceivers thanks to proven CAN/LIN/J1708 piggies
  • Power supplied via USB, also in 4-channel applications
  • Optimal performance for CANoe*, CANalyzer*, CANape* or customer applications, even in parallel (multi-application)
  • Support of CAN FD up to 8 Mbit/s
  • Support of CAN XL up to 20Mbit/s (VN1641)
  • Advanced LIN stress e.g. for LIN 2.1 conformance tests (VN1630A/VN1630 log/VN1640A)
  • Synchronized channels with minimal latency times
  • K-Line support* (VN1611/VN1630A/VN1630 log/ VN1640A)
  • Fast CAN flashing by a hardware-based flash routine implementation
  • LEDs for displaying channel activity and device status (VN1630A/VN1630 log/VN1640A/VN1641)
  • Easy configuration of the recording functionality with the Vector Logger Configurator when using VN1630 log

Application Area of VN1600

VN1600 devices provide the best bus interface for Vector tools such as CANoe, CANalyzer, CANape, Indigo, vFlash as well as customer applications; in the laboratory, at the test bench, at the service garage or in the vehicle.

The application areas range from simple bus analysis to complex remaining bus simulations, diagnostic, calibration and flash programming tasks.

The product’s multi-application support makes it possible to access multiple programs in parallel on one device and on the same channel.

 

The VN1630 log provides additional recording functionality for CAN / CAN FD and LIN.

Functions of VN1600

  • Flexible FPGA-based CAN and LIN implementation allows 100% bus load on all channels
  • Support of CAN XL with modes Error Signaling Enabled and Error Signaling Disabled (VN1641)
  • Max bitrates: CAN (max. 2 Mbit/s), CAN FD (max. 8 Mbit/s), CAN XL (max. 20 Mbit/s) and LIN (max. 115 kbit/s)
  • Performing LIN 2.1 conformance tests with CANoe (VN1630A/VN1630 log/VN1640A)
  • The integrated IO functionality of the VN1630A/VN1630 log/VN1640A/VN1641 makes it possible to synchronously acquire signals along with CAN/LIN messages and switch loads up to 500 mA via a digital output
  • Recording functionality for monitoring vehicle communication (CAN (FD), LIN) with VN1630 log. Data is stored on an SD/SDHC card (up to 32 GB).
