Description

Product Information

FlexDevice-S is the starter of the FlexDevice product familiy which is used and recognized by many car manufacturers and component suppliers in their automotive electronics development. The FlexDevice family provides manifold solutions for

• gateways between different automotive bus systems

• bus interfaces

• remaining bus simulation

• signal manipulation

• data logging

• rapid prototyping

The multifunctional bus control unit FlexDevice-S supports the current and upcoming bus systems and has one variable interface, so it covers most of the application fields where bus interfaces are required. This device is appreciated by embedded software developers since it facilitates the implementation and testing of even very tricky gateway applications and prototyping functionalities.

Together with the comprehensive FlexConfig software family, the developers are enabled to set up and control their bus systems and ECU environment in a smart manner.
