Overview of Advantages
> Dedicated functions for the design of CAN communication matrices > Assured communication integrity by comprehensive consistency checks
> Timing analysis for predicting the runtime behavior of CAN networks early in the development phase > Create AUTOSAR and non-AUTOSAR projects
> Import and export options (DBC or FIBEX) to transfer data to suppliers and project partners
For the development of extensively networked CAN systems in motor vehicles, DaVinci Network Designer CAN provides the optimal environment for the design of the network architecture and communication data. This design serves as the basis for all subsequent development steps such as system simulation, configuration of ECU-specific software, detailed ECU tests and network analysis.
Application Areas
DaVinci Network Designer CAN is the central tool in the development process at automotive OEMs and suppliers of ECU-specific software. It is used to create communication data, either for individual CAN buses or for entire CAN systems with multiple buses and gateway ECUs.
Functions
The convenient and intuitive user interface gives you quick access to communication data, which you can also define and edit efficiently. This is supported by different views of the data – hardware topology, communication data of the CAN networks, global signal lists, signal routing via gateways, etc.
> Create hardware topologies for vehicles and vehicle models based on ECUs and networks
> Define communication signals consistently. The signals can be used in all networks and on all vehicle projects.
> Create the communication relationships between the individual ECUs in a CAN-specific Network Explorer
> Analyze the networks for their expected time behavior (bus load, transmission times, etc.)
> Design all of the CAN buses for a vehicle. Routed signals are automatically detected and visualized in a separate view.

DaVinci Network Designer CAN
The Unique Tool for Designing the CAN Network Architecture
Consistent Data Maintenance
The DaVinci Network Designer manages any number of CAN communication objects of a vehicle project, vehicle model series or OEM in a single XML-based data repository. Central data management offers decisive advantages such as data consistency and reusability. This is important for an optimized development process, where smooth interactions between the various development departments and suppliers is demanded.
>Define communication objects (CAN networks, ECUs, CAN messages, signals) as well as relationships between these objects (including the ECU which sends the messages, receive signals of ECUs).
>Manage multiple vehicle projects in one database
>Apply user-defined attributes to adapt the data model of the DaVinci Network Designer CAN to your requirements
Iterative Design Process
DaVinci Network Designer CAN supports an iterative design process. New projects can be created by making specific changes and extensions to existing, tested and released projects. The individual design steps (creating the hardware topology, signal definition and distribution to the CAN frames, description of time behavior, etc.) can be performed independently of one another. Data Exchange
DaVinci Network Designer CAN forms the basis for Vector’s comprehensive tool chain for CAN. It has import and export functions for individual networks as well as for entire vehicle projects. The following exchange formats are supported:
>DBC (de-facto standard for CAN)
>FIBEX 1.1, 1.2 and 2.0 (ASAM standard)
These data can then be utilized in the following development tools:
>CANoe, CANalyzer
>CANape
>CAN Embedded Software Components
>CANstress, CANscope, CANlog
>All other relevant CAN development tools
The DaVinci Network Designer Product Family
Together with other tools of the DaVinci Network Designer product family (DaVinci Network Designer FlexRay and DaVinci Network Designer LIN), you can design and manage communication structures across bus systems.
Properties and advantages:
>Manage multiple networks of different types in one database
>Design entire network architectures with gateways to interconnect the CAN buses with LIN and FlexRay networks
>Use a common signal pool for CAN, LIN and FlexRay bus systems
>Display routing relationships of the gateways based on common signals。
