Manual VN1600 Interface Family

2.1 Introduction

General information

The VN1600 interface family is an advanced development of the proven CANcaseXL

which is a flexible and cost-efficient solution for CAN, LIN, K-Line or J1708

applications. An excellent performance with minimal latency times and high time

stamp accuracy is also guaranteed.

The multi-application functionality of the VN1600 interface family supports

simultaneous operation of different applications on one channel, e. g. CANoe and

CANape. Tasks range from simple bus analyses to complex remaining bus

simulations as well as diagnostic, calibration and reprogramming tasks and also LIN

2.1 compliance tests. You can also program your own applications using the XL

Driver Library.

Bus types

Depending on the VN16xx interface, built-in transceivers as well as exchangeable

CAN/LIN and J1708 transceivers can be used. The exchangeable transceivers are

available as plug-in boards (Piggybacks) and are inserted in the VN16xx. A list of

compatible Piggybacks can be found in the accessories manual on the driver CD.
