vector0119With the VN4610 network interface, Vector is presenting its first special solution for IEEE 802.11p and CAN (FD) -based applications. As a connection to the test tool “CANoe. Car2x “brings the interface 802.11p-based control devices to series production readiness.

The VN4610 is a network interface with USB interface for access to IEEE 802.11p and CAN (FD) networks. The user benefits from the simple reception and sending of IEEE-2p messages when implementing his Car2x / V802.11X applications. The received IEEE-802.11p messages are transferred to the application synchronously with the CAN (FD) messages. The built-in GNSS receiver provides the GNSS time as well as the current GNSS position.


 

Single Pair Ethernet | for IIot and Industry 4.0


For reliable testing of DSRC applications over IEEE-802.11p radio channels, the VN4610 meets all hardware requirements. For the analysis, it passes all received messages of the two radio channels unfiltered to the test tool, such as CANoe. Car2x, continue. The advantage for the developer is that it also analyzes messages that would be discarded on a controller due to timing, geo-information or Car2x / V2X protocol errors. In addition, latency measurements can also be made because the timestamps of the messages on the bus channels are synchronized.
