Services / Automotive Communication – Simulation and Validation

Simulation of Communication Bus

At the beginning of every development process, simulation models that emulate the behavior of the ECUs serve as a foundation for analysis, testing and integration of bus systems and ECUs.

This lets you detect and correct problems at an early stage by verifying the interfaces and interactions of the ECUs connected to the communication bus. CANoe from Vector offers a versatile way to create powerful simulations and also to test the behavior of each ECU.

Customer benefits

  • the real system can be than tested and operated by connecting its communication interface directly to CANoe, once the development of the ECU advances
  • besides the trace display or the graphic view of each signal from the communication bus, CANoe offers the possibility to design user interface panels to display different values and in the same time to interact more easily with the simulation
  • Simulations can be animated and different communication behaviors can be created in order to test the ECU under development in different scenarios
  • based on the logging / replay function, the development team can record a behavior of the ECU in the car and then replay that scenario in the development laboratories to test it or look for root cause of different errors
