Vehicle Network Toolbox

Communicate with in-vehicle networks using CAN, J1939, and XCP protocols

CAN Communication

Configure and establish connections to a CAN bus using CAN or CAN FD protocols then send, receive, encode and decode CAN messages. These messages can be logged for offline analysis and replayed in another Simulink model.

XCP Protocol

Communicate with ECUs using the XCP protocol via CAN, CAN FD, or Ethernet. Read and write data to specific memory locations within the ECU, and link A2L files to perform calibration and measurement tasks.

J1939 Protocol

Set up communication via the J1939 protocol, including associating a database file, specifying CAN interface hardware, transmitting and receiving J1939 parameter groups, and encoding and decoding signal data.

CAN and CAN FD Apps

Use the CAN Explorer and CAN FD Explorer apps to visualize active traffic on a specific CAN channel, decode messages and display them in engineering units.

A2L Description Files

Use A2L (ASAP2) description files to communicate with ECUs over XCP protocol from MATLAB or Simulink. These files contain information about memory address, data type, and rules for converting stored values into physical units, simplifying calibration and measurement tasks.

MDF Files

Easily import and export MDF files, view basic properties, create MDF files, and write timetable data to existing MDF files. You can read in subsets of MDF files and create a datastore to work with large files.

Virtual Channels

Use virtual CAN and CAN FD channels to simulate network communications in a loopback configuration without physical hardware. Use MathWorks virtual channels or those from third-party vendors like Vector and Kvaser.

Vector CAN Database Files

Associate Vector CAN database files (DBC) with CAN channels or messages in MATLAB or Simulink to decode and encode CAN messages using application-specific names and scaled engineering units.  Use CAN Pack and CAN Unpack blocks in Simulink to encode and decode CAN messages defined in ARXML files.

CDFX Files

Access data in ASAM calibration data format (CDFX) with the cdfx function provided by Vehicle Network Toolbox. Use calibration data from a CDF file as inputs to a Simulink model.
