TC4016 Functions and parameters
The TC4016 is an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) simulation node based on SENT (Single Edge Nibble Transmission) and PSI5 (Peripheral Sensor Interface 5) protocols. It is capable of receiving sensor data from a wide range of devices with SENT and PSI5 interfaces.
The TC4016 integrates 2 channels of CAN/CAN FD, 4 channels of Digital Input/Output (DIDO), and 3 channels of Analog Input/Output (AIAO).
Connected to a PC via Ethernet, the TC4016 enables real-time monitoring, analysis, and simulation of SENT, PSI5, and CAN/CAN FD bus data. It provides a reliable data environment for R&D and testing personnel, significantly accelerating the development cycle.
The TC4016 supports secondary development through APIs available for both Windows and Linux platforms. It is compatible with various development environments such as C++, C#, LabVIEW, and Python, enabling seamless integration into a wide range of test systems with high efficiency and usability.
