ECU Diagnostics Module

ECU diagnostics with CalDesk

• Compliance with the ODX database standard
  
• Support of ISO protocols for CAN and K-Line
  
• Dedicated instruments to execute diagnostic services and to read or clear the ECU fault memory
  
• ECU flash programming via diagnostic interfaces¹⁾
  

Application Areas
The ECU Diagnostics Module facilitates the calibration and validation of ECU diagnostic functions with CalDesk. ECU access is possible via the ISO-standardized diagnostic protocols KWP2000 (ISO 14230), Diagnostics on CAN (ISO 15765), UDS (Unified Diagnostic Services) (ISO 14229-1), Transport Protocol (TP 2.0) on CAN, and GMLAN. The ECU Diagnostics Module is fully compliant with ODX (Open Diagnostic Data Exchange), the ASAM-MCD 2D standard (V2.0.x). In combination with the CalDesk Automation Module, a standard automation interface according to ASAM-MCD 3D (V2.0.1) is provided for remote control of diagnostic tasks.

Key Benefits
The CalDesk ECU Diagnostics Module enhances CalDesk to a comprehensive, integrated measurement, calibration, and diagnostics tool (MCD tool). Additional instruments for working with an ECU’s fault memory, and diagnostic services and jobs, are seamlessly integrated into CalDesk. New diagnostic trouble code entries can be displayed and automatically saved to measurement files, and can also trigger a new recording. The integrated ECU flash programming support lets you update the ECU with the latest software revision or calibration data. The dSPACE USB-to-CAN interfaces tailored for measurement and calibration can be reused for ECU diagnostics as well. It is even possible to run measurement, calibration and diagnostic tasks at the same time via the same CAN channel.
