Functionality

In a complex in-vehicle network environment, a single CAN protocol cannot satisfy the user's needs, and there is a need to introduce technical requirements such as Ethernet.Reduced Space and Simplified Harness Layout, MAXTRON's Lightweight In-vehicle Network Communication Test Motherboards(HKIC1-MBM21000) solves this problem. It adopts an integrated platform to verify data transmission accuracy, simulate fault conditions to verify ECU response and processing capability, and at the same time conducts data performance testing under high load conditions, which can record data and events during the testing process for subsequent analysis.

Data Acquisition and Recording

Through the on-board Ethernet interface, the data from sensors such as radar and camera can be collected in a high-speed and stable way, which is convenient for real-time monitoring and recording.

✓ CAN / CAN FD communications

It receives signals from the ECU of the vehicle, such as speed and steering angle, and at the same time, it can also send vehicle status information to the CAN bus, realizing the synergy of work with various systems in the vehicle.

✓ Parts Detection and Diagnostics

Diagnosis and calibration based on UDS, XCP protocols

✓ Port Expansion

USB3.0 interface and Ethernet port reserved for expansion of LIN bus, IO ports
