Expansion framework for interface units

Scalable interface architecture for long-term expandability and support of future vehicle network architectures.

Guaranteed Flexibility: Maximum Modularity and Expandability

The ARCOS 2 evo expansion frame has been developed for the requirements of modern automotive testing. Crucial vehicle and test bench interfaces, such as CAN, LIN, FlexRay, and Ethernet (ETH), can be integrated flexibly if needed.

Thanks to its systematically modular concept, the ARCOS 2 evo accurately meets all project- and vehicle-specific requirements – from prototype to series validation. This upgradability ensures that future communication standards and interfaces can be integrated without changing the system.

This way, the ARCOS 2 evo protects your investment, making sure that you can use your measurement system for several development cycles.

Highly Reliable Even Under Extreme Conditions

The ARCOS 2 evo has been designed for the continuous operation in winter as well as summer testing. With its validated and proven temperature range of -40 °C to +80 °C, the logger is well-equipped for measurement tasks under extreme climatic conditions – from cold climate testing in Arctic regions to hot climate testing in the desert.

The large supply voltage range of 6.5 V to 54 V DC supports a variety of vehicle networks and test set-ups, within the vehicle as well as on the test bench, and reliably covers voltage fluctuations, cold start conditions, or changing supply sources.

Our well-tried measurement platform helps OEMs and tier 1 suppliers validate their systems under real-life environment and operating conditions.

Modular, Highly Compact, Powerful
