CAN & LIN Interface for Vehicle Electronics

VCI4 VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS MODULE

The Sorion VCi4 (Vehicle Communications Interface) is a high performance interface for advanced vehicle diagnostics.

The VCi4 is a micro-processor based system that is specifically designed for the communicating, controlling and testing of bus based vehicle systems and sub-systems. It can operate as a standalone unit or installed in a Sorion test rack.

FLEXIBILITY

The VCi4 enables customer specific software solutions to be implemented.
Having CAN, LIN interfaces as well as analogue and isolated digital I/O the VCi4 allows integration to external systems.

The unit has an opto-isolated USB interface for programming and integration as well as status LEDs.

CAPABILITIES

VCi4 units are currently deployed in a number of automotive assembly and test projects worldwide:

  • Diagnostic applications in engineering, manufacturing
  • Test and validation
  • Functional ECU tests and communication tests

APPLICATIONS

  • Diagnostics
  • Module Configuration
  • Seat/Door/Window Test
  • Convenience Function Testing
  • LIN Based mood lighting
  • Specific Fault Code Clearing
  • PC / PLC to vehicle interface
