Communication interface COMfalcon plus

Housing and status display The interface has a robust aluminium housing with protection class IP65. Due to the com­pact design and the high shock resistance COMfalcon® plus can be used in different areas of the automation and automotive in­dus­try. Two 14-segment displays and nine LEDs always indicate the current operating status/error code of the device. Interfaces The COMfalcon® plus has a total of four CAN interfaces and a Freescale PowerPC arch­i­tec­ture. The connection to the diagnostic PC is established via WLAN/LAN or bluetooth as an option. In addition to the CAN channels other interfaces such as RS232 or K-Line are available for diagnostic purposes. LUA scripting Own embedded applications run directly on the COMfalcon® plus in LUA without the need for a third device (laptop or PC). Among other things, it is possible to store your own in­for­ma­tion such as create and implement flash routines or ECU de­scrip­tions and thus access the CAN or file sys­tem, for example. Furthermore, the em­bed­ded applications are portable and can be reused for future Sontheim VCI gen­er­ations. Error frame detection This function enables the monitoring and ob­ser­va­tion of a CAN network. The COMfalcon® plus has its own logic to detect error frames and to count up in a certain inter­nal memory area. This is used to identify intermittently occurring errors such as fake mes­sag­es of a CAN participant. ID related level measurement – resistance measurement/current measurement This feature enables the CAN levels to be read in IO-related as well as active and passive termination resistors to be measured and thus, for example, to carry out fault diagnosis on a vehicle or machine.
