Sontheim COMfalcon - Model plus -High-end VCI with LUA Scripting and Linux Operating System
Housing and status display: The interface has a robust aluminium housing with protection class IP65. Due to the compact design and the high shock resistance COMfalcon® plus can be used in different areas of the automation and automotive industry. Two 14-segment displays and nine LEDs always indicate the current operating status/error code of the device.

- RS232, K-Line
- Protocol handling
- Optional with data-logging, scripting, CAN voltage level oscilloscope funcionality
- Optional with integrated SD card
- Compact housing with protection class IP65
Interfaces
The COMfalcon® plus has a total of four CAN interfaces and a Freescale PowerPC architecture. The connection to the diagnostic PC is established via WLAN/LAN or bluetooth as an option. In addition to the CAN channels other interfaces such as RS232 or K-Line are available for diagnostic purposes.
LUA scripting
Own embedded applications run directly on the COMfalcon® plus in LUA without the need for a third device (laptop or PC). Among other things, it is possible to store your own information such as create and implement flash routines or ECU descriptions and thus access the CAN or file system, for example. Furthermore, the embedded applications are portable and can be reused for future Sontheim VCI generations.
Error frame detection
This function enables the monitoring and observation of a CAN network. The COMfalcon® plus has its own logic to detect error frames and to count up in a certain internal memory area. This is used to identify intermittently occurring errors such as fake messages of a CAN participant.
ID related level measurement – resistance measurement/current measurement
This feature enables the CAN levels to be read in IO-related as well as active and passive termination resistors to be measured and thus, for example, to carry out fault diagnosis on a vehicle or machine. This is particularly important if data is lost from the network, which can be caused by short circuits, for example.
