dear readers,

many of you already know us!You deploy electronic control units, we provide you with the diagnostic solutions. Whether for Ecu networks in vehicles, for test benches or for Ecu production, we offer you the right products and expertise.

our customers are mainly oEM and Ecu manufacturers in the automotive industry. they deploy our hard- and software products in development departments, use our residual bus simulations with concurrent diagnostics at engine test benches or assembly inspection lines, but also for holistic WlaN-based production lines and even to a complete aftermarket service tester.

Since the merger with the Softing ag, our customers not only appreciate our growth as a company, but mainly our unique innovative product lines and our broad know-how in the automotive segment.

Samtec has extended its position as the Hardware competence center of the Softing automotive Segment with two major innovations: the new available HSd VcI is not only replacing older pro-ducts, but combines functionality with cost-effectiveness in a new platform VcI.

on the software-side, we have not only created an interface that goes far beyond the standard of the D-PDU API. With the VCF – the VCI Communication Framework – we introduce for the first time a platform-independent development environment into the market. this development envi-ronment allows us and our customers to develop specific diagnostic applications like OBD apps, manufacturing solutions or even to fleet test programs, to name just a few examples. This opens up a wide spectrum of applications that can be developed in a unified environment.

As confirmed by our growth, our customers are confident that our tools can be holistically ap-plied in all areas for development, production and service departments. The benefits of a single tool chain in the automotive segment of the Softing ag have been expanded through the close coopera tion with our sister companies. Especially convincing to our customers are the interlocking solutions of customized software applications, diagnostic run-time systems and application soft-ware in conjunction with our high-tech hardware products.

the clear focus on hardware and hardware-related software enables us a sustainable specializa-tion on our core competencies. at our new conjoint headquarter in Kirchentellinsfurt, together with our sister company Softing Measurement and testing, we offer our customers a continuous supply chain - from a single source!

the location in Kirchentellinsfurt is therefore the new Softing automotive hub in the Stuttgart region. on april 15th 2015 we will invite our partners and customers for a techday with lectures and discussions to the actual technical issues in the automotive industry.

We are looking forward to your visit!

With the samPdu aPI samtec offers the MVcI d-Pdu aPI according to ISo22900-2 as a standardized interface for the samtecdiagnostic interfaces (VcI) HSd, HSc and HSX. Hardware and software components can be easily substituted anytime. Therefore the user can develop new applications more flexibly and efficiently.

Standardized diagnosticsthe use of standardized diagnostic interfaces for the communication with electronic control units (Ecu) in the vehicle diagnostic field is consequently getting more important. With the ISo 22900-2 standard a universal, powerful diagnostics and communication interface has been developed. the standard defines a C programming interface together with a standardized system integration. due to the event-driven interface design a very high system performance can be reached.

applicationsThe MVCI D-PDU API is used in many fields of automotive communication, especially in diagnosis and flash programming. The ASAM MCD3 standard was specified particularly for applications with the MVcI d-Pdu aPI. thus the MVcI d-Pdu aPI is used in all Mcd3 Server available on the market.

Highlights• Competence through long-time involvement in ASAM and ISO

and aSaM FIBEX• Wide product range of VCI, which can be used with samPDU• Extreme high performance through direct protocol handling in

the VcI• Comfortable configuration of the VCI over a GUI• The samtec MVCI D-PDU API is already in use with

Mcd3-server of several providers at various oEMs in development, production and service.

applications (odX, otX)• ActiveX control samDiaX as an interface for customized

applications • VCF API as an open, cross-operating API for customer or in-

house application development

architecturethe open and cross-platform concept of the VcF allows simultaneous and parallel operation of different applications via one VCI. Through a common base configuration and the VCI abstraction layer the competing access to the VcI is regulated and smooth operation is ensured.

the cross-platform availability of the VcF allows distributed diagnostics and communication solutions applying the VcF both on the Pc, smart phone or tablet and on the VcI. the simultaneous and parallel operation of various computer-based applications is also possible across and through internal synch mechanisms. the unobstructed operation is assured even in a distributed operation scenario.

the usage of the VcF with e.g. our samtec HSc VcI enables the integration and operation of customer applications onto the VcI. For example, a data logging solution can be implemented, parallel to the running diagnostic application and parallel to a stand-alone mode (e.g. for parking lot flashing).

By integrating a web server on the VcI through the new VcF architecture it is possible to provide diagnostic and data logging functions to the user via a web page using just a browser.

use cases

Ensuring the ECU measuring readinessvia diagnostic web servicethe development of driver assistance systems with complex functions distributed across multiple control units requires new approaches to ensure the readiness of the measurement system components. For development workshops and during the preparation of fleet tests, compatibility between control units and measurement configuration must be ensured. Via the diagnostics interface the required Ecu software version information and the error memory can be retrieved from the control devices.

the approach of a diagnostic web service enables the connection of the measurement systems via laN / WlaN and a simple web service interface without a software installation on the clients.

Cloud and remote diagnosticsthe holistic claim of our Softing ag tool chain allows the full implementation of the latest client concepts and strategies. the tool chain comprises not only production- and aftermarket- proven samtec VCI, our intelligent firmware and middleware, but it includes our protocol expertise and the latest VcF architecture, enabling standardized software applications above the d-Pdu aPI.

together with our clients we focus on standards and jointly realize these concepts. Exemplarily we present a basic cloud and remote diagnostics approach, which we have developed in a more detailed extent with our customers as part of a development site and workshop tester solution. our solution clearly aims at automotive oEM, Ecu manufacturers or suppliers of electronic retrofit components in the need of providing a new generation of workshop testers.

Smart Diagnostics: Apps 4 Mobile Devicesthe solution for every problem: in your pocket. the demand for mobile diagnostic solutions on tablets or smartphones, known as apps, for the development, production, service and even to the end customer requires an integrated approach to the restructuring of the existing diagnostic concepts.

With the new samtec VcI communication Framework (VcF) and the extended Softing diagnostic tool chain we resolve the rigid boundaries between Pcs, smartphones and VcI. We open up new innovative possibilities for the realization of mobile and distributed diagnostic solutions. the combination of standard di-agnostic software applications with the VcF as a mobile solution leads to industrial cloud and remote diagnostic applications as well as to fast test and end customer software products.

the Softing app for tablets and smartphones is currently being enhanced. The first application for the development department of a major oEM has been introduced. Softing‘s diagnostic app on smartphones in conjunction with the samtec HSC VCI is the first step towards the transition to an integrated diagnostic tool chain from the Pc to the diagnostic application into the VcI and mobile devices.

Parallel operation: LIN diagnostics and residual bus simulationa common application in the areas of development and production is the parallel and simultaneous operation of diagnostic and resi-dual bus simulation. the lIN bus with its master / slave concept is technically challenging. the use case of parallel diagnostics and residual bus simulation is particularly tricky and cannot be achieved by two in dependent applications it must be carried out with a single lIN Master.

the new VcI communication Framework (VcF) allows the parallel operation of diagnosis and residual bus simulation on a common master lIN bus node. the diagnostic application can send the d-Pdu aPI diagnostic service, sent on the lIN bus and receive the associated responses. operating in parallel on the same lIN master bus node, the residual bus simulation uses the lIN scheduling and simulated bus data.

In addition to the lIN bus, the parallel and simultaneous operation of diagnostics and residual bus simulation for several bus nodes is available for all the other physical bus systems like caN, Flexray, K-line, etc.

the VcF has the features shown in the following table which cover various uses cases.

Block sequencer and virtual machinecontrol of communication inside the VcI the samtec block sequencer controls the communication procedure. the actions and reactions of the network interfaces can be defined on the PC. The actions and reactions can be extended by c-code which is translated into byte code and executed on a real-time virtual machine running on all samtec VcI. after transferring the block sequencer into the interface, it becomes fully operational. the block sequencer contains transmit and response blocks, which can be automatically transmitted depending on the selected function – tester, simulator or bus-direct.

all samtec VcIs have a unique key feature which is easily acces-sible using the VcF the so called block sequencer.

this way, extremely short response times can be ensured and high degree real-time requirements can be met.

Pc-independent use of the interface as a stand-alone device is supported via the resident block sequencer (see S.24) which can be automatically generated and installed using the VcF.

read measurement values from the Ecu memory using aSaM XcP / ccP. the feature XcP extends the VcF’s functionality with the access to Ecu internal measurement values. reading memory regions from an Ecu is done using the standard aSaM XcP or ccP protocol running in daQ mode. ccP is working on the caN bus while XcP is working on the caN and the Flexray bus.

In order to configure the communication and select the measurement values the VcF can import aSaM aSaP2 (a2l) files. The FlexRay bus parameters can be imported using a FIBEX or AUTOSAR file.

Dynamic Diagnostic simulation module the “dynamic diagnostic simulation“ module analyses a caN or K-line trace and generates a dynamic or static simulation of the diagnostic messages for the entire vehicle. the simulation can run on our VcI even without a Pc connected (resident application). In order to execute the simulation the device only requires a power supply and the connection to the caN bus or the K-line. The simulation is created by generating a filled block sequencer this makes it possible to manually extend or change the simulation.

Resident Block Sequencer

this application works without a Pc stand-alone on our VcI.the VcI acts as Pc-independent communication nodes for our supported bus systems (caN, Flexray, lIN and K/l line, etc.).

Numerous fields of applicationthe HSc and HSX interfaces as stand-alone devices can now undertake numerous tasks which required a Pc earlier. Flash process during production or residual bus simulation for test benches can be executed autonomously by the interface after a one time configuration. Also gateway applications for develop-ment or for series production can be implemented quickly and cost effectively. The efficient firmware offers close to unlimited implementation possibilities for numerous bus systems and communication protocols. the interface can be used as a special service tool for aftermarket activities. It can handle the programming of electronic control units independently and with flash memory up to 2GB.

Highlights• Hard real-time capabilities• PC independent• Programmable using „C“ scripts• Usage as vehicle gateway, service flash tool,

production test tool• Simulation of FlexRay, CAN, LIN (Slave/Master)

and K-line nodes

communication control directly inside the interface the block sequencer controls the communication procedure and is script-enabled. the actions and reactions of the interface in the network are configured with simple sequences and scripts defined on the PC. After the transfer of data to the interface it becomes a fully functional stand-alone device. the block se-quencer contains the transmission and response blocks, which can be received, processed and sent in any order depending on the selected function - tester or simulator. this way extre-mely short response times and real-time requirements can be achieved.

combinabilitythe block sequencer running on one VcI can be used in parallel with other applications, if used in conjunction with our latest software architecture, the new communication Framework (cp. VcF). Examples of combinability are diagnostics with parallel, residual bus simulation or the use of Flash tools with simultaneous diagnostics.

Pc independent interface usageafter connecting the interface to supply voltage it is controlled by the internal script. diagnostic tester, residual bus simulation, flash processes, seed and key mechanism, emulation of special protocols and gateway functions can be realized this way independent from the Pc.

Various interfaces and protocolsthe samtec diagnostic interfaces (VcI) HSd, HSc and HSX can be comfortably connected and configured at the PC through uSB, Ethernet or WlaN port. the communication with the elec-tronic control units can be established through Flexray, caN, lIN, K-line, SaE J1708 or SEa J1850. Numerous protocols like udS, KW2000, J1939, gMlaN and carB are also supported.External in- and outputs can also be controlled using the interface through scripts. this way for example test runs can be synchronized and also manual intervention into process by the user is possible. The enormous flexibility and configurability offers numerous attractive implementation possibilities.

different viewsPreferences in implementation are just as wide-ranging as the cases of application. this is why line-based programming is available for compact representation and flow charts can be used for a broader overview. Furthermore, the comfort Mode also allows diagnostics users to effectively create sequences without extensive programming knowledge. Simple integration into existing applicationsNaturally, any diagnostic sequences created can be debugged and run with otX Studio – in other words, the Ecu can be tes-ted directly. If sequences are to be used later in the test field, in manufacturing or in the service tester, we have the appropriate solution: using otX Server as a pure sequence environment, integration into existing (and even new) applications is straight- forward. application programmers do not have to have any knowledge of otX for this purpose.

DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS

DTSdiagnostic tool Set 8

Together, vehicle and tool manufacturers have specified an international standard for a data-driven diagnostic runtime system (alternatively called “d-Server” or “communication Server”) with standardized interfaces. The data interface defines ODX as data model and universal data exchange format. the application interface permits symbolic access to Ecu and vehicle information. the bus system interface enables the use of various bus protocols and interfaces from different manufacturers. The Diagnostic Tool Set implements these standards 100% compatible. The tools enable developers, engineers and technicians to create consistent diagnostic functions and sequences based on international standards as well as to ensure that diagnostic communication works reliably over the entire value chain.

areas of application• All possible applications of diagnostics in Engineering,

testing, Manufacturing and Service• For manufacturers of cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles

and non-road mobile machinery as well as tier 1 system suppliers and Ecu suppliers

Benefits• Significant cost reduction in comparison to proprietary

developments• Highly effective because diagnostics only has to be

implemented once in the entire value chain• Future-proof as based on current international standards• Top quality thanks to data verification as well as early

Example of use: diagnostic simulationthe samtec VcI have powerful diagnostic simulators. In simulator mode the VcI behaves like an Ecu by answering the diagnostic requests as a real Ecu. the simulator is equivalent to an Ecu. the simulators are multi-instance capable so that a VcI is able to simulate several Ecu or the whole vehicle at once. of course several buses and diagnostic protocols are supported simultaneously. the simulators run in real time on the hardware and therefore achieve the best possible performance. You can run the simulators with the resident block sequencer even independently of the Pc within the VcI. after downloading the simulation into VcI the simulations starts directly when the VcI is powered.

resulting in the following amount of saved resource:

the resource could be process time, man power etc. while s is the amount of saved resource.

the EPtS is a gradual expansion of existing production Processes. deploying WlaN enabled VcI, diagnostic steps and production steps can be aligned concurrently in parallel. In the following we introduce possible scenarios for the use of the EPtS. Worker-less on-board diagnostic processes• Automated diagnostic sequences with/without worker

Optimization Approach (simplified)the set of production steps after an oBd socket is available isP={pi|1 ≤ i ≤ nP}, the set of diagnostic steps which cannot be executed in parallel to any production step is Δ={δi|1 ≤ i ≤ nΔ} and the set of diagnostic steps which can be executed in parallel to production steps during transition from one production step to another is D={di|1 ≤ i ≤ nD}. the relation φ:PυΔυD→R is definied as the amount of a specific resource this production step needs to be executed. Executing all this steps sequentially needs the following amount of resource:

Saving resourcesthe introduction of the EPtS, by the parallelization of previously sequentially executed diagnosis and production processes, makes it possible to use the resources time, space and man power along the production line more efficiently.
