Description

Product Information

FlexConfig RBS is a software to generate a hardware assisted RBS and Gateways. Several network description formats are supported, such as Autosar, FIBEX and CANdb. The generated RBS runs independently on a separate hardware.

Advantages

• Gateway generation for several bus systems, e.g. CAN-HS/FD, FlexRay, 100BASE-T1, 1000BASE-T1, LIN, SENT

• Signal manipulation: no coding required

• Remaining bus simulation (RBS)

• Easy-to-use GUI: Configuration in two minutes

• Synchronized FlexRay/FlexRay gateway

• Support for several devices: FlexDevice-M, FlexDevice-L, FlexDevice-L², FlexDevice-S
