Cyclone II FlexRay card

The FlexCard Cyclone II, your powerful connection to the FlexRay bus system

  • The FlexRay bus system is the near-future industry standard for automotive control and automation systems. The best technical and economical achievements of today´s automotive bus-systems (e.g. CANBUS) were used as an base, and taken to new performance levels in the FlexRay bus-system. In addition to fast data transmission, (10 Mbit/sec per channel), FlexRay has realtime-capability.
  • Development and implementation of the FlexRay bus-system is propelled by a consortium that is composed of the world´s leading car manufacturers, chip- and tool suppliers.
  • The FlexCard Cyclone II is the newest generation of our premium product FlexCard. It is a flexible and multi-use monitoring and analysing device for configuration, maintenance testing and monitoring of the time-triggered FlexRay serial bus system. The FlexCard is your ticket into the FlexRay bus-system.
  • The FlexCard is a 32bit CARDBUS-Card for a CARDBUS-compatible PCMCIA-slot of a notebook, drivers for the common operating systems are included.

Features

  • A short plug-in of this card will turn your standard notebook with the suitable software into a powerful analysing tool for the FlexRay bus system. This enables you, for example, to monitor the bus and analyse incoming messages quickly.
  • FlexCard processes and transfers data between the bus system and a host PC or notebook. Various filter and adjustable trigger functionalities allow you to select specified bus data for monitoring.
  • The main focus of this product is to offer you a flexible, small and powerful analysing device. Another possible application for you could be to use this card as a FlexRay bus node to build communication clusters with your own functionality.
  • With its functions this tool represents the optimal interface between hardware developers and FlexRay. Compact but powerful, almost all applications are open to the user:
