MVCI D-PDU API / ISO22900-2

Standardized diagnostics

With the samPDU API samtec offers the MVCI D-PDU API according to ISO22900-2 as a standardized interface for the samtec diagnostic interfaces (VCI) HSlight-, HS+ and HSX-Interface. Hard– and software components can be easily substituted anytime. Therefore the user can develop new applications more flexibly and efficiently.

Applications

The MVCI D-PDU API is used in many fields of automotive communication, especially in diagnosis and flash programming. The ASAM MCD3 standard was in particular specified for applications with the MVCI D-PDU API. Thus the MVCI D-PDU API is used in all on the market available MCD3 Server.

The application doesn‘t need any complex protocol-specific information. Communication parameters, protocol- and bus properties are fully encapsulated by the MVCI D-PDU API.

Protocols

On the one hand the samtec MVCI D-PDU supports the protocols defined in the ISO22900-2 standard and on the other hand protocols which are specifically developed for the customer.

Protocols according to ISO-Standard:

• KWP2000 on CAN
• ISO UDS on CAN
• ISO OBD on CAN
• ISO RAW CAN
• Truck and Bus on CAN
• KWP2000 on K-Line
• ISO OBD on K-Line

Within an inofficial industry consortium a quasi standard was developed between several companies for the following proprietary protocols:

• TP 2.0 on CAN
• TP 1.6 on CAN
• KW71 on K-Line
• Blink Code Diagnostics

This quasi-standard enables to guarantee that these for the automobile industry important protocols are also adaptable and exchangable manufacturer-wide.

On request more protocols can be realized easily for the MVCI D-PDU API.

Project support

Customer-specific diagnostics applications can be realized fast and reliably according to your specifications and wishes. You can find references here. If desired we are glad to inform you in detail about our competences. We are looking forward to your request.

Version overview samtec MVCI D-PDU API 

Advantages of the samtec MVCI D-PDU API

• Competence through long-time involvement in ASAM and ISO standardization committies e.g. MVCI D-PDU API, MCD 3D, ODX and FIBEX
• Wide product range of VCIs, which can be used with samPDU.
• Extreme high performance through direct protocol handling in the VCI
• Comfortable configuration of the VCIs over a GUI
• The samtec MVCI D-PDU API is already in use with MCD3-server of several provider at diverse OEMs in development, production and service.

Projects around the MVCI D-PDU API

The following chart illustrates the setup and usage of the samtec PDU API.

C++ comfort wrapper classes for MVCI D-PDU API

The standardized MVCI D-PDU API C-Interface offers a big range of functions. The object orientated comfort C++ wrapper classes strongly simplify the work with the MVCI D-PDU API, because ressources are released automatically and several functions are combined to function groups. Therefore the development with the MVCI D-PDU API is not only made easier but also faster and more efficient. However the application itself still relies on the MVCI D-PDU API standard.

samPassThru

With the samPassThru samtec has realized another standard interface based on the SAE J2534 PassThru API.
