FL3X Device-PXIe for complex networking technology

Product Information

Description

The FL3X Device-PXIe combines a high-performance platform for real-time capable remaining bus simulations or gateways and up to 30 channel* measuring interface for automotive bus systems in one device. This powerful combination provides manifold solutions for:

gateways between different automotive bus systems
interfacing of automotive bus systems
remaining bus simulation
signal manipulation
data logging
rapid prototyping

The FL3X Device-PXIe supports current and upcoming bus systems and has numerous variable interfaces, thus covering most of the application fields where bus interfaces are required. This device is appreciated by automotive developers since it facilitates the implementation and testing of even very tricky gateway applications and prototyping functionalities. Together with the comprehensive FL3X Config software family, the developers are enabled to set up and control their bus systems and ECU environment in a smart way.

*The number of channels depends on the used bus systems

Advantages

5x pluggable transceiver modules (2-6 channels per module depending on the bus system)
Pluggable transceiver modules available for CAN-HS, CAN-FD, FlexRay, 100BASE-TX, LIN, SENT, 100BASE-T1, 1000BASE-T1
Available in PCIe and PXIe form factor
Execution of real time gateways/ remaining bus simulations and parallel streaming of all communication channels to the PCIe host system
Synchronous timestamp generation for most of the bus interfaces (resolution up to 1 us)

Technical Details
