Sontheim COMfalcon - Model IoT -High-End VCI With Linux Operating System

SHARE

The new high-end VCI with Linux operating system and IoT functionality thanks to mobile data transmission. The Vehicle Communication Interface – New standards in the service sector. COMfalcon® IoT combines the robustness of our proven interfaces with the latest interfaces and features. Thanks to modern LTE (2G fallback) com­munication, you can transmit data at any time and from anywhere. Remote diagnostics or even flash-over-the-air app­lications, such as on an integrated on-board telemetry are thus possible at any time, even in the hand­held area. Other wire­less interfaces include WLAN and Bluetooth 5.0 LE to establish a connection to a diagnostic device. In addition, the device also has a LAN interface and a BroadR-Reach interface for broad­band data exchange. The VCI can be connected to a vehicle via four independent CAN (CAN FD ready) channels.

Housing and status indicators

The COMfalcon® IoT has a robust IP44 housing with bumper as well as extremely stable heavy-duty connectors. A software configurable trigger function for easy and individual data recording is also integrated. Thanks to its compact design and high shock resistance, COMfalcon® IoT can be used in various areas of the automotive industry. Two multicolor LED bars and an LED status display always visualize the current status/error code of the device.

Customized cable harnesses

In addition to standard cable sets, customer-specific cable sets can be provided at any time. Via a 25 pin connector the VCI can be connected to a vehicle via the customized or standardized (OBD/ISO) interface.

Embedded diagnostics

Own embedded app­lications can be operated directly on the COMfalcon® IoT without the need for a third device (laptop or PC). This makes it possible, among other things, to create your own infor­mation such as flash routines or ECU descrip­tions and implement them on the VCI and thus access the CAN or file system, for example. OTX workflows and ODX descrip­tions can there­fore function out-of-the-box with the new COMfalcon® IoT. This makes app­lications possible in which the complete diagnostic appli­cation is located on the VCI and a popular LAN/WLAN-capable end device (WIN/MAC/Android) takes over the display. The embedded applications are portable and can be reused for future Sontheim VCI generations.

Controller and operating system

A powerful dual core controller, 500 MB of RAM and the inte­grated Linux operating system ensure maximum performance and flexi­bility. Data up to 64 GB can be stored on the integrated memory.

Further functionalities

Optionally, the Vehicle Communication Interface also features GNSS. This allows the current location to be recorded and trans­mitted worldwide. In addition, the IoT Device Manager provides the appro­priate cloud software. Whether for updates-over-the-air or fleet management tasks – the portal offers OEMs all the options for state-of-the-art analysis of all devices in the field.
