Advanced tools for capturing in-vehicle network traffic
Sigent Technology

With Ethernet as an in-vehicle network (IVN) comes the challenge of capturing the traffic of these new technologies. Technica Engineering's new hardware devices feature characteristics that differentiate them from regular Active TAPs.

Capture Modules offer a modular and scalable system, capturing all the relevant in-vehicle network traffic, including 100BASE-T1, 1000BASE-T1, CAN/CAN FD, LIN and FlexRay, with a reliable and precise 40ns resolution hardware time stamp, and they provide time aware injection. Through AVB/TSN compatibility and support of the most relevant in-vehicle communication technologies, Technica’s Capture Modules are an excellent testing tool for today’s self-driving prototype test cars.

Using 802.1AS, the time synchronization in the Capture Modules is ensured, and all captured traffic is provided in layer II MAC frames via the PLP protocol, making Ethernet the ideal logging network. Several devices can be used on the same setup, whenever more T1 ports are needed, and when other IVN technologies are present, the in-built synchronization using 802.1AS allows for simultaneous use with other IVN2Eth Capture Modules.
