EDICpci is a PCI interface for vehicle networks, which can easily connect the desktop or test bed to the vehicle bus. It is suitable for heterogeneous on-board networks with CAN bus, K-line and LIN bus.
The EDICpci provides a flexible vehicle interface for ECU communication, supporting CAN, K‑line, LIN and ISO 9141 protocols. Its PCI card format allows easy connection of a desktop or test bench to vehicle buses in stationary environments, with galvanic isolation and a wide supply voltage range suitable for cars and commercial vehicles.
Technical data includes up to three independent channels (2 CAN + 1 ISO 9141/LIN), six analog inputs, two digital outputs, and a microcontroller (Infineon C167, 40 MHz). The device operates from 8 V to 32 V supplied via the vehicle network and is compatible with Softing software tools such as DTS, EDIABAS and VAS 5163.
