Communication

Wide Range of Services Providing an Extensive Portfolio and Tailored Solution

Various devices connected via MOST interact with synchronous and asynchronous communication to create an end user experience of a rich and comfortable multimedia and infotainment environment. The devices build increase in complexity and apply many consumer electronics technologies to the automotive environment. Often, two or even more embedded CPUs, sometimes of different types and with varying operating systems, are integrated in one device connected via inter-processor communication (IPC). Thus, both communications over field buses and device internal distributed communications is a paramount challenge in such classes of embedded automotive devices. K2L meets that challenge with the Automotive Communication System to make workflows easier for OEMs as well as suppliers.

Gone are the days, when you had had to handle everything to drive a motor vehicle. With every passing scale of modern technology, today’s vehicles are using more electronics to provide simultaneous requirements of drivers as well as the passengers to address assorted concerns. All multiple electronic control units or ECU are combined with multiple in-vehicle LANs. It helps to differ in transmission speed and also controls communication protocol, connected with the characteristics required for each and every application. From exchanging information to coordinating control or allow & implementing more added value functions, all are well taken care with the help of communication protocol.

SRM Technologies provide comprehensive communication service to its clients. We have successful track records in all applications from the day of inception. From control systems to information systems, our experts strive to meets the requirements of our clients with our wide-ranging product lineup.

Automotive Communication Solutions

Communication of bus systems and hardware interfaces for diagnostic applications

The interaction with ECUs usually requires communication solutions, whether for vehicle bus connections via CAN, MOST, LIN or Flexray, or for connecting hardware interfaces to the testing infrastructure via LAN, WLAN or USB.

SRMTech provides communication solutions to suit your requirements in all areas of ECU communication. With SRMTech solutions, you can make use of the advantages of standardized interfaces for diagnostic communication. Due to SRMTech’s extensive know-how in the automation technology and ECU communication sectors, the company can provide communication solutions tailor-made to suit your requirements.

  • K2L Automotive Communication System (ACS) includes a framework for embedded application development and a tool chain increasing the productivity of application programmers.
  • ACS provides a comprehensive set of APIs for easing application development including definitions of MOST specific data types and function classes as well as standard functionality like notification inside a rich C++ class library.
  • ACS MOST Application Generator (MAG) reads XML file based MOST function catalogs to generate user selectable Function Block and Shadow interface logic for your application.
  • ACS framework architecture allows multiple application processes to participate in MOST communication in a dynamic, scalable and message driven way without any need for call back or pre-processor based element definitions.
  • ACS architecture allows seamless distribution of applications on multiple CPUs, even driven by different operating systems sharing one physical MOST node.

Automotive Communication Solutions Benefits

  • Efficient product development and improved quality by integration of generated code and a mature 3rd generation MOST application framework.
  • Seamless integration of multiple MOST catalog versions through fully object oriented approach of deriving from generated interfaces (no round-trip engineering problems).
  • Let your business logic experts instantly apply MOST technology without climbing a steep learning curve on MOST details.
  • Let MAG analyze the MOST function catalog and identify weak, incomplete and erroneous definition spots on interfaces.
  • Start your development on the PC or experience full functionality of ACS on a K2L reference hardware platform.
  • Take advantage of the support and experience of K2L as a key supplier of leading edge MOST competence.

Our Solutions

CAN (Controller Area Network)

The Controller Area Network protocol is the current standard for auto’s LANs. This is the backbone of the network, powertrain, chassis, and other body systems. SRM Technologies’ CAN MCUs have unique Controller Area Network functions, which comes along with low power consumption, assorted packages, excellent EMI/EMS performance and operation at high temperature. Our wide lineup helps to optimise the power of user systems.

Ethernet

Ethernet is a quintessential diagnostic protocol for chassis, engine and body electronic connection control units, that are used for network connections. We provide optimum support for Ethernet and other communication services.

Flexray

FlexRay is a high-speed communication protocol and root of active technology development in Japan and worldwide. It offers a high degree of reliability and flexibility. Some of its applications are backbone systems and next-generation X-by-Wire systems. SRM Technologies offers SH-4A and V850 microcontrollers supporting FlexRay. We also provide dedicated power MOSFETs, motor driver ICs and supportive components.

LIN (Local Interconnect Network)

Local Interconnect Network is a vehicle LAN protocol. It uses the master to achieve optimum cost performance ratio and is also used in sensor input actuator control and switch input. SRM Technologies offers optimal LIN MCUs for variety body control systems with assorted packages, operation at high temperatures, low power consumption and excellent EMI/EMS performance.
