EDICcard2 is a vehicle interface specially used for the automotive industry, which can access multiple ECUs via CAN and ISO 9141 in parallel, suitable for diagnostic and testing applications. The protocol processing in the interface ensures robust time response and allows fast flash programming of the ECUs.
The EDICcard2 is a compact vehicle interface that connects to a PC via a Multibus PCMCIA card. It enables parallel access to multiple ECUs using CAN and ISO 9141‑2 (K‑line) buses, supporting fast flash programming and robust time‑response through on‑board protocol processing.
Technical data include a 5 V power supply from the PC, typical 600 mA current draw, an Infineon C165 microcontroller, 612 kB RAM for operating software, and optional bus‑adapter cables for high‑speed or low‑speed CAN. The device operates from 0 °C to +55 °C and complies with EMC standards EN 55022, EN 61000‑6‑2/‑4, and FCC Part 15.
