These days, remaining CAN bus simulation is nothing too special anymore; however it is usually a step separated from the “standard” design flows. In order to allow for a higher grade of automation, Schleißheimer integrated a special scheduler in version 3.4 of their tool CanEasy which they will be presenting at the embedded world show in Nuremberg on booth 120, Hall 10. Furthermore, it now supports the LIN bus as well as CAN.
The scheduler works table-based, it sends LIN messages and triggers events as well as program and function calls. The tool’s functionality can be extended by the user with plug-ins and VBA programs.

CanEasy is a simulation and analysis environment for CAN and LIN, in which real and simulated ECUs (remaining bus simulation) communicate with each other. The system is mostly configured automatically. The import function for communication matrices (dbc and ldf files) automatically generates complete vehicle environments with a nearly unlimited number of parallel busses. Therefore the communication is bus-overlapping. Signals can be created, recorded and analysed. The XCP protocol helps obtaining diagnosis data from the ECUs. CanEasy interprets and generates standard, extended and multiplex messages. The software tool is used by automotive companies, their suppliers and companies developing ECUs. The largest customer is Continental, for which Schleißheimer also works as a development partner.
“This is our second time at the Embedded World, and certainly not without reason. We experience a growing demand since a lot of companies want to lower the software costs and at the same time demand better processes and more autonomy in the development process” says the CEO, Hans-Joachim Schleißheimer. “By now we have a lot of new features, some of them due to customer requests. The new version supports all stages – from process planning to the deesign specialist – with LIN bus, advanced automation, easy configuration and quick extension via plus-ins or VBA”.
