This ensures fast reaction time and reliable real time behavior inde-pendent on the PC operating system. The usage of a power-ful 32 bit microcontroller makes it possible to use multiple communica tion channels in parallel. This is often needed for diagnostic or flash applications.

SOFTWARE INTERFACESThe standardized D-PDU API (ISO 22900-2) supports the most important communication protocols: UDS (ISO 14229), KWP 2000 (ISO 14230, ISO 15765) and SAE J1939. The VCI can also be used as an alternative Pass-Thru device in accordance to SAE J2534. Together with the diagnostic tool set DTS from Softing, it is possible to implement a complete solution in accordance to MCD-3D standard ISO 22900-3 with ODX technology.

MOBILITYThe integrated WLAN interface enables the HSX Heavy duty for mobile usage in workshop, service and production.

Resident Block Sequenzer

This application works without a PC stand-alone on our VCI.The VCI acts as PC-independent communication nodes for our supported bus systems (CAN, FlexRay, LIN and K/L line, etc.).

NUMEROUS FIELDS OF APPLICATIONThe HSC and HSX interfaces as stand-alone devices can now undertake numerous tasks which required a PC earlier. Flash process during production or residual bus simulation for test benches can be executed autonomously by the interface after a one time configuration. Also gateway applications for development or for series production can be implemented quickly and cost effectively. The efficient firmware offers close to unlimited implementation possibilities for numerous bus systems and communication protocols. The interface can be used as a special service tool for aftermarket activities. It can handle the programming of electronic control units independ ently.

COMMUNICATION CONTROL DIRECTLY INSIDE THE INTERFACEThe block sequencer controls the communication procedure and is script-enabled. The actions and reactions of the inter-face in the network are configured with simple sequences and scripts defined on the PC. After the transfer of data to the interface it becomes a fully functional stand-alone device. The block sequencer contains the transmission and response blocks, which can be received, processed and sent in any order depending on the selected function - tester or simulator. This way extremely short response times and real-time require-ments can be achieved.

COMBINABILITYThe block sequencer running on one VCI can be used in parallel with other applications, if used in conjunction with our latest software architecture, the new Communication Framework (cp. VCF). Examples of combinability are diagnostics with parallel, residual bus simulation or the use of Flash tools with simultaneous diagnostics.

PC INDEPENDENT INTERFACE USAGEAfter connecting the interface to supply voltage it is controlled by the internal script. Diagnostic tester, residual bus simulation, flash processes, seed and key mechanism, emulation of special protocols and gateway functions can be realized this way inde-pendent from the PC.

VARIOUS INTERFACES AND PROTOCOLSThe samtec diagnostic interfaces (VCI) VIN|ING 1000, HSC and HSX can be comfortably connected and configured at the PC through USB, Ethernet or WLAN port. The communication with the electronic control units can be established through FlexRay, CAN, LIN, K-Line, SAE J1708 or SEA J1850. Numerous protocols like UDS, KW2000, J1939, GMLAN and CARB are also sup ported. External in- and outputs can also be controlled using the interface through scripts. This way for example test runs can be synchronized and also manual intervention into process by the user is possible. The enormous flexibility and config urability offers numerous attractive implementation possibil ities.

samPDU APIStandardized diagnostics with MVCI D-PDU API / ISO 22900-2

With the samPDU API samtec offers the MVCI D-PDU API according to ISO22900-2 as a standardized interface for the samtec diagnostic interfaces (VCI) VIN|ING 1000, HSC and HSX. Hardware and software components can be easily substituted anytime. Therefore the user can develop new applications more flexibly and efficiently.

STANDARDIZED DIAGNOSTICSThe use of standardized diagnostic interfaces for the communica -tion with electronic control units (ECU) in the vehicle diagnostic field is consequently getting more important. With the ISO 22900-2 stand ard a universal, powerful diagnostics and commu-nication interface has been developed. The standard defines a C programming interface together with a standardized system integration. Due to the event-driven interface design a very high system perfor mance can be reached.

APPLICATIONSThe MVCI D-PDU API is used in many fields of automotive com-munication, especially in diagnosis and flash programming. The ASAM MCD3 standard was specified particularly for applications with the MVCI D-PDU API. Thus the MVCI D-PDU API is used in all MCD3 Server available on the market.

PROTOCOLSOn one hand the samtec MVCI D-PDU supports the protocols defined in the ISO22900-2 standard and on the other hand protocols which are developed specifically for the customer.

Protocols according to ISO-Standard:■KWP2000 on CAN■KWP2000 on K-Line■ISO UDS on CAN/LIN■UDS on Ethernet (DoIP, ISO 13400)■ISO OBD on K-Line■ISO OBD on CAN■Truck and Bus on CAN (J1939)■ISO RAW on CAN

On request more protocols can be realized easily for the MVCI D-PDU API.

PROJECT SUPPORTCustomer-specific diagnostics applications can be realized fast and reliably according to your specifications and wishes. You can find references at www.samtec.de. If desired we are glad to inform you in detail about our competences. We are looking forward to your request.

VCF

AVAILABLE INTERFACES FOR OUR SAMTEC VCIThe existing programming interfaces (API) samDiaX and samPDU already used by our customers will be implemented on top of the new VCI Communication Framework. All applications using these APIs can be used unchanged, but they can benefit from the added innovations of our new powerful middle-ware (VCF). The VCI Communication Framework provides the full scope of services and can be used by our customers for innovative future applica tion development. For simple migration of existing applications the samDiaX API and the new VCF API can be used in parallel.

Diagnostic and simulation tools as well as special custom re-quirements applications can on communicate from now on with one of the following interfaces with our samtec VCI:■samPDU: D-PDU API standard (ISO 22900-2) for MCD3

applications (ODX, OTX)■samDiaX ActiveX control as an interface for customized

applications ■ VCF API as an open, cross-operating API for customer or

in-house application development

VCI Communication Framework – Our new diagnostic and communication framework for future challenges, realized through a cross-platform, parallel and distributed diagnostics and communication solution.

▲ Fig.: System Architecture VIN|ING Software Suite

ARCHITECTUREThe open and cross-platform concept of the VCF allows simul-taneous and parallel operation of different applications via one VCI. Through a common base configuration and the VCI abstrac tion layer the competing access to the VCI is regulated and smooth operation is ensured.

The cross-platform availability of the VCF allows distributed di ag nostics and communication solutions applying the VCF both on the PC, smart phone or tablet and on the VCI. The simultaneous and parallel operation of various computer-based applications is also possible across and through internal synch mechanisms. The unobstructed operation is assured even in a distributed operation scenario.

The usage of the VCF with e.g. our samtec HSC VCI enables the integration and operation of customer applications onto the VCI. For example, a data logging solution can be implemented, parallel to the running diagnostic application and parallel to a stand-alone mode (e.g. for parking lot flashing).

By integrating a web server on the VCI through the new VCF architecture it is possible to provide diagnostic and data logging functions to the user via a web page using just a browser.

▲ Abb.: VCF - VCI Communication Framework Modules

VCF – EMBEDDED DIAGNOSTICS – WEB SERVER The variety of possible end devices for controlling diagnostic ses-sions is constantly on the increase. One possible solution to this apparent dilemma is embedded diagnostics directly in the VCI with an access via web server to enable diagnostic session cont-rol. And that is where the VCF comes in: It enables the conveni-ent implementation of the diagnostic sequence and access over a web server or service, for example with a familiar development environment on a Windows system, and then the installation of the application on a corresponding samtec VCI. This process is supported by the VCF with its abstraction of important operating system levels, of the samtec VCI and of simple but ultra efficient logging and configuration function alities.

Diagnostics can thus, for example, run independently on a samtec VCI and be controlled by a web server. By using a web server with JSON and JavaScript support, it is possible to very easily define dynamic sequences and visualize them on any end device, providing it has a browser. The result: independence from the client system as well as parallel use.

Furthermore, software does not need to be installed on the client. This includes the storage of configurations and, if neces-sary, security-critical data and thus leads to increased security. This approach enables scaling with the introduction of a central server and puts Diagnostics over Internet or the Internet of Cars (Things) within reach. The VCF is thus very clearly the tool of choice on the way to Industry 4.0.

PARALLEL OPERATION: LIN DIAGNOSTICS AND RESIDUAL BUS SIMULATIONA common application in the areas of development and pro-duction is the parallel and simultaneous operation of diagnos-tic and resid ual bus simulation. The LIN bus with its master / slave concept is technically challenging. The use case of parallel diagnostics and residual bus simulation is particularly tricky and cannot be achieved by two in dependent applications it must be carried out with a single LIN Master.

The new VCI Communication Framework (VCF) allows the parallel operation of diagnosis and residual bus simulation on a common master LIN bus node. The diagnostic application can send the D-PDU API diagnostic service, sent on the LIN bus and receive the associated responses. Operating in parallel on the same LIN master bus node, the residual bus simulation uses the LIN scheduling and simulated bus data.

In addition to the LIN bus, the parallel and simultaneous opera-tion of diagnostics and residual bus simulation for several bus nodes is available for all the other physical bus systems like CAN, FlexRay, K-line, etc.

SMART DIAGNOSTICS: APPS 4 MOBILE DEVICES

The solution for every problem: in your pocket. The demand for mobile diagnostic solutions on tablets or smartphones, known as apps, for the development, production, service and even to the end customer requires an integrated approach to the restruc-turing of the existing diagnostic concepts. With the new samtec VCI Communication Framework (VCF) and the extended Softing diagnostic tool chain we resolve the rigid boundaries between PCs, smartphones and VCI. We open up new innovative possibil-ities for the realization of mobile and distributed diagnostic solutions. The combination of standard diagnos tic software applications with the VCF as a mobile solution leads to indus-trial cloud and remote diagnostic applications as well as to fast test and end customer software products. The Softing app for tablets and smartphones is currently being enhanced. The first application for the development department of a major OEM

has been introduced. Softing‘s diagnostic app on smartphones in conjunction with the samtec HSC VCI is the first step towards the transition to an integrated diagnostic tool chain from the PC to the diagnostic application into the VCI and mobile devices.

VCF – Features and ModulesTheVCFhasthefeaturesshowninthefollowingtablewhichcovervarioususescases.

BLOCK SEQUENCER AND VIRTUAL MACHINEControl of communication inside the VCI

The samtec block sequencer controls the communication pro-cedure. The actions and reactions of the network interfaces can be defined on the PC. The actions and reactions can be extend -ed by C-Code which is translated into byte code and executed on a real-time virtual machine running on all samtec VCI. After transferring the block sequencer into the interface, it becomes

ASAM XCP / CCP TOOL-CHAINRead measurement values from the ECU memory using ASAM XCP / CCP. The feature XCP extends the VCF’s functionality with the access to ECU internal measurement values. Reading memory regions from an ECU is done using the standard ASAM XCP or CCP protocol running in DAQ mode. CCP is working on the CAN bus while XCP is working on the CAN and the FlexRay bus. In order to configure the communication and select the measure ment values the VCF can import ASAM ASAP2 (A2L) files. The FlexRay bus parameters can be imported using a FIBEX or AUTOSAR file.

DYNAMIC DIAGNOSTIC SIMULATION MODULEThe “dynamic diagnostic simulation“ module analyses a CAN or K-Line trace and generates a dynamic or static simulation of the diagnostic messages for the entire vehicle. The simulation can run on our VCI even without a PC connected (resident application). In order to execute the simulation the device only requires a power supply and the connection to the CAN bus or the K-line. The simulation is created by generating a filled block sequencer this makes it possible to manually extend or change the simulation.

All samtec VCIs have a unique key feature which is easily accessible using the VCF the so called block sequencer.

DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS

DTSDiagnostic Tool Set 8

Together, vehicle and tool manufacturers have specified an inter national standard for a data-driven diagnostic runtime system (alternatively called “D-Server” or “Communication Server”)with standardized interfaces. The data interface de-fines ODX as data model and universal data exchange format. The application interface permits symbolic access to ECU and vehicle information. The bus system interface enables the use of various bus protocols and interfaces from different manu-facturers. The Diagnostic Tool Set implements these standards 100% compatible. The tools enable developers, engineers and technicians to create consistent diagnostic functions and se-quences based on international standards as well as to ensure that diagnostic communication works reliably over the entire value chain.

EXAMPLE OF USE: DIAGNOSTIC SIMULATIONThe samtec VCI have powerful diagnostic simulators. In simu-lator mode the VCI behaves like an ECU by answering the diagnostic requests as a real ECU. The simulator is equivalent to an ECU. The simulators are multi-instance capable so that a VCI is able to simulate several ECU or the whole vehicle at once. Of course several buses and diagnostic protocols are supported simultaneously. The simulators run in real time on the hardware and therefore achieve the best possible per-formance. You can run the simulators with the resident block sequencer even independently of the PC within the VCI. After downloading the simulation into VCI the simulations starts directly when the VCI is powered.

Softing TDXThe flexible solution for diagnostics and flash programming in the repair shop and in road tests.

BENEFITS ■ Lean diagnostic solution based on laptop/tablet,

VCI and state-of-the-art software■ Fully adaptable to individual requirements

(processes, CI, language) ■ Future-proof due to the use of international standards

(e.g. OTX, ODX, UDS)■ Unlimited diagnostic functionality■ Comprehensive report functionalities■ Flexible with regard to diagnostic methodology

(symptom-/ECU-based)■ Can be operated in the traditional manner using a mouse

and keyboard or alternatively using a touchscreen

AREAS OF APPLICATION■ Service repair shops of vehicle manufacturers■ Service repair shops of system manufacturers,

e.g. in the retrofit market■ Mobile diagnostic systems for service technicians■ R&D departments, e.g. road tests■ Creators of diagnostic sequences for vehicle tests

and in sales organizations

Softing TDX is the universal repair shop tool intended to be used by vehicle and component manufacturers. It supports all necessary diagnostic functions in trouble-shooting, repair and in the setup of entire vehicles or individual components.

THE FLEXIBLE TOOL FOR HARD USE IN SERVICEIt is easy to create a service tester with Softing TDX: Just install the software on a „ruggedized“ laptop and connect to a(n) – ideally wireless – VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) and you‘re done! The full system can now be used in the repair shop or in the field (in/next to/under the vehicle) as well as in almost all climatic conditions. It is virtually impossible to have more diagnostic freedom.

COMPLETELY ADAPTABLEThe Softing TDX user interface does not depend on the diag-nostic methodology used. Regardless of whether traditional ECU-based diagnostics is used, whether work is based on sym-ptoms or AI is the measure of all things: TDX presents no ob-stacles. The sequences are generated in the authoring system and linked to appropriate displays and repair aids (instructions or circuit diagrams as PDF files, but also as images, videos). The user interface can be adapted to suit the particular corporate design and individual area of application.

WITH INTEGRATED SECURITYThere is an incredible amount of expertise and potential to be protected in service applications and Softing TDX is ready to do just that. It protects your software from being illegally copied, offers licensing and the user management facility (in develop-ment) means malpractice can be prevent ed. And the data on the hard disk is also safe: It is encrypted.

SUPPORTING STAND ARDS SAFEGUARDS INVESTMENTSFor diagnostic sequences, Softing TDX is based on the OTX standard for ECU communication and data interpretation on the ODX standard. OTX and ODX data already used in the company can thus be reused or can continue to be used with Softing TDX.

TWO TOOLS – ONE GOAL: THE SIMPLE DEFINITION OF FAST REPAIR TIPSSofting TDX consists of two tools. Softing TDX.studio is the authoring system with which diagnostic trees, sequences and the representation are generated. The input of communica-tion data also takes place using Softing TDX.studio. There are templates and wizards to ensure that standard tasks can be carried out in next to no time. The diagnoses created can then be compiled to form a distribution – either as a whole or in parts. This is made available to service technicians and/or test engineers online or on data carriers.

Softing TDX.workshop



Softing TDX.workshop is designed for use in the field. It is used as a sequence environment for the diagnostic sequences created beforehand with Softing TDX.studio. These can be updated and/or mod ified at any time later on with the update mechanism. Diagnostic results can be saved as a report – all activities thus always remain transparent. Further more, all data is available for additional analyses.

OTX Studio

OTX Studio is a tool for creating, implementing and de bugging diagnostic and test sequences (based on the ISO13209 stand-ard). With a special GUI editor, it is easy to generate graphic user interfaces and link them to the sequences created. SPECIFICATION AND IMPLEMENTATIONOTX Studio supports the user in the specification phase and in subsequent implementation. Comprehensive project administra tion with integrated version management ensures a clear overview in large projects. The library concept that many users are familiar with from standard programming languages supports users in the implementation of application-oriented and at the same time modular creation of their diagnostic sequences.

AREAS OF APPLICATION ■Graphic specification of diagnostic sequences■ Creation of test sequences in ECU development■User interfaces and test sequences for EOL testers

in manufacturing■ Guided fault diagnosis for repair shop testers

DIFFERENT VIEWSPreferences in implementation are just as wide-ranging as the cases of application. This is why line-based programming is avail able for compact representation and flow charts can be used for a broader overview. Furthermore, the Comfort Mode also allows diagnostics users to effectively create sequences without extensive programming knowledge.

SIMPLE INTEGRATION INTO EXISTING APPLICATIONSNaturally, any diagnostic sequences created can be debugged and run with OTX Studio – in other words, the ECU can be tested directly. If sequences are to be used later in the test field, in manufacturing or in the service tester, we have the appropriate solution: Using OTX Server as a pure sequence environment, integration into existing (and even new) applica-tions is straight-forward. Application programmers do not have to have any knowledge of OTX for this purpose.

BENEFITS ■ Long-term protection of investments thanks to the

implementation of an international standard■Unproblematic exchange of sequences between ECU,

system and vehicle manufacturers■Universal implementation as the full function scope of

OTX is available■Storage of OTX scripts in binary format both protects

expertise and hinders unauthorized modifications

SMTSofting Measurement Technology – the Universal Measurement and Automation System for Mobile and Stationary Applications

AREAS OF APPLICATION ■Mobile measurement technology for road tests■Measurement data acquisition in test bench applications■Process monitoring■ Application of control and regulation systems■Automation of component test benches■Test system for manufacturing tests

BENEFITS■High degree of coverage of different applications■Compact, rugged and 100% suitable for use in vehicles

■Flexible adjustment to the particular application■Uniform measurement technology and peripherals

(sensor technology, connectors, cables, …) in mobile and stationary use

■Future-proof thanks to open and generic interfaces■Can be used standalone without additional components■Comprehensive fail-safe and onboard diagnostic functions■System assembly and module exchange possible at the

flick of a wrist and without tools■Simple parameterization using transducer memory■All ports accessible from the front■Optical display of channel and module state

SMT combines sophisticated measurement technology with signal generation, communication, computing power and memory depth. The module family provides a whole range of physical inputs and outputs and communication interfaces in one modular system.

SYSTEM DESIGNThe unique module concept enables optimal adaptation to each individual application. Channels can be scaled to virtually any degree – from just a few IO to several hundred. Not even decentral systems or large spatial distances pose a problem thanks to intelligent networking possibilities.

The modularity of SMT is in no way limited to measurement and communication channels. Fundamental system charac-teristics such as energy supply, cooling and computing power can be adapted to suit the individual case of application. At the same time, the Softing Measurement Technology is geared to the best possible integration. The sophisticated housing

mechanism means the systems only ever grow to the minimum size required for a particular function scope.

AREAS OF APPLICATIONAs SMT systems are rugged, they are perfect for harsh, mobile use in test vehicles. However, they are also often used in sta-tionary applications such as test benches and in manufacturing. SMT tasks are in no way limited to simply acquiring measured values. As a combined measurement, test and automation system, Softing Measurement Technology is responsible for relevant functions in the areas control and regulation, process monitoring and automation, real-time simulation and data logging.

MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY

µ-SeriesField bus measurement technology for use in physically challenging environments

The µ series comprises a range of compact measurement mod ules connected via CAN. Examples of supported fea tures include temperature measurements with thermocouples and resistive sensors, a whole range of testing bridges and active transducers as well as the acquisition of frequency- and time-based signals.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONSAs the µ series requires little space and features an extremely sturdy design, it is perfect for use in harsh application environ-ments. It enables reliable measurements in extremely high or low environmental temperatures as well as in moist and dirty conditions, or where vibrations have to be tolerated.

DATA ACQUISITIONThe µ modules are supported by the SMT system software PEA. This makes it easy and fast to integrate them into complex SMT systems. In the case of pure CAN applications, it is also possible

AREAS OF APPLICATION ■Measurements on chassis, power train and exhaust

emissions system■Battery-operated test equipment

BENEFITS■Reduced cabling thanks to measured value acquisition

on the measurement object■Greater accuracy thanks to measured value acquisition

in close proximity to the measuring point■Decentral system assembly with limited space■Low demands made of energy supplies in mobile use■Flexible mounting possibilities■Data acquisition regardless of proprietary measuring

software

to record and evaluate measure data with standard CAN tools. The software that is required for configuring the modules is avail able for free.

PERFECT IN PRACTICETheir extremely low power consumption as well as a whole range of mounting possibilities underline the modules’ suitability for prac tical, regular use. CAN and power supply are combined on one connector and can thus be fed through from module to module. This enables simple wiring with point-to-point connec-tions and standard cables.

EPTSExtending Production and Test System

The EPTS is a gradual expansion of existing production Processes. Deploying WLAN enabled VCI, diagnostic steps and production steps can be aligned concurrently in parallel. In the following we introduce possible scenarios for the use of the EPTS.

WORKER-LESS ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC PROCESSES■ Automated diagnostic sequences with/without worker

interaction at production test consoles (e.g. ECU flash programming, ECU parameter coding, etc.)

■ Embedded and automated diagnostic sequences standalone on VCI (e.g. opening, tailgate with touch keys)

CONCURRENT DIAGNOSTIC AND PROGRAM MING SESSIONS WITH MULTIPLE ECU■Simultaneous ECU programming sessions■ Parallel diagnostic sessions■Heuristically optimized flash processes to reduce

overall flash time (evolutionary algorithms)

OPTIMIZATION APPROACH (SIMPLIFIED)The set of production steps after an OBD socket is available is P={pi|1≤i≤nP}, the set of diagnostic steps which cannot be executed in parallel to any production step is Δ={δi|1≤i≤nΔ} and the set of diagnostic steps which can be executed in parallel to production steps during transition from one production step to another is D={di|1≤i≤nD}. The relation φ:P υ Δ υ D → R is definied as the amount of a specific resource this production step needs to be executed. Executing all this steps sequentially needs the following amount of resource:

SAVING RESOURCESThe introduction of the EPTS, by the parallelization of previous-ly sequentially executed diagnosis and production processes, makes it possible to use the resources time, space and man power along the production line more efficiently. The following figure shows the subsequent optimization approach graphically in a simplified form in terms of time saving:
