Vector announced its newest PCIe network interface board, the VN1530, supporting four onboard communication ports and two additional piggybacks for increased flexibility. The system supports channel combinations for interfacing to CAN Bus, CAN FD, LIN Bus, and other network technologies. The board addresses the growing demand for more channels, especially at test benches, test PCs and in-rack use.

The product comes with functions for analysis, simulation, and testing of ECUs, sensors, and gateways. Among many other features, these functions allow bus simulation, measurement of communication data, end-of-line tests, and flashing. A transport protocol accelerator is also available for CAN Bus applications. Developers can use the device for purposes such as performing extended LIN Bus stress tests, e.g., LIN 2.1 conformance tests.

For users of multiple devices, the VN1530 offers the advantage of allowing synchronization between multiple devices and different bus systems such as CAN Bus, CAN FD, LIN Bus, FlexRay, Most, and Ethernet. Additional XL driver libraries support proprietary customer applications. Users profit from the product's support of 100 % bus load on all channels, minimal latency times and low CPU utilization of the host.
