IXXAT has extended its FRC-EP series with the new, compact FRC-EP170. With the FRC-EP series, which consists of the FRC-EP170 and the FRC-EP190, IXXAT offers universally usable hardware platforms for applications on the test bench or in the vehicle, attractive for their high performance, favourable prices, broad range of applications, and support for a wide variety of software solutions.

With increasing complexity in automobile technology, suitable solutions for communication with the control units are required - whether for the development, test benches or test driving. Such solutions must be inexpensive, easy to operate and robust. With the FRC-EP150 and the related software packages, IXXAT has provided this perfect combination with exceptional results.

IXXAT Automation is pleased to announce the immediate availability of version 6.1 of the CANopen Master API. In addition to previously supported CAN interfaces, CANopen Master API 6.1 now works with the new FPGA based CAN-IB200/PCIe active CAN interface.
