Multiple Interface for Auto Networks
Davidsonville, MD -- AVT, Inc., designer and manufacturer of vehicle network interface equipment, announces the new AVT-718 Multiple Network Interface. The new model 718 supports all the current popular automotive networks with a single device.
“We designed the AVT-718 to support development and testing of a variety of automotive modules” said AVT senior engineer Michael Riley. “By including all the popular network protocols in a single unit we’re relieving the user from having to purchase and integrate an interface for each protocol that must be supported.”
The AVT-718 supports the following automotive network protocols:
· J1850 VPW (GM’s Class 2 and Chrysler).The AVT-718 Multiple Protocol interface is easy to use and rugged. The user switches between modes of operation with simple software commands. Electrical isolation is provided between the vehicle and the host computer for protection from faults and surges.
· J1850 PWM (Ford’s SCP).
· Keyword Protocol 2000. (ISO 9141 operations are also supported).
· CAN (both dual wire and GM’s single wire CAN - SWC).
· UBP (Ford’s UART Based Protocol).
The AVT-718 is supplied in a rugged enclosure, with serial cable, and all documentation on disk. The AVT-718 is also available as an OEM unit (interface board only). Units are available for immediate delivery.
As the content of electronics and the number of microprocessors in motor vehicles increases, the number and type of in-vehicle networks is also increasing. These networks permit the sharing of information between modules, sub-systems, and systems within the vehicle. Multiple networks are used to segment the various sub-systems along the lines of type of information, speed, reliability, and other factors.
