CANoe: Test-, Analyze and Simulate EULYNX components

CANoe is your development platform for EULYNX compliant systems – including object controllers and interlockings. CANoe provides a powerful and flexible environment to develop, simulate, analyze, and test railway signalling systems. Whether you are validating the logic of object controllers using automated testing, simulating the environment of digital interlockings, or integrating with other signalling systems, CANoe supports you throughout the entire lifecycle of your product. Use CANoe’s Railway Signalling Add-On to simulate and test Ethernet interfaces like SCI-XX, SDI-XX and SMI, while simultaneously testing and simulating analog, digital, and serial I/Os using Vector’s VT System.

Key uses cases:

• Environment simulation: Replace physical sensors, actuators, and EULYNX communication partners with high‑fidelity virtual counterparts in CANoe – unlocking test scenarios that real hardware cannot deliver, all while the system under test experiences a seamless, completely realistic environment.
• Exploratory testing: Realize communication to your EULYNX product fast. Send SCI-XX, SDI, SMI or RaSTA telegrams and analyze the response of your system in CANoe with minimal effort.
• End-of-line and acceptance testing: Validate your EULYNX product: Simulate its environment, run automated test cases and benefit from CANoe’s wide range of communication protocol support as well as its hardware support to realize your end-of-line test within a single tool.
• In-depth testing of individual protocol layers: Thorough testing of the SCI-XX, RaSTA and OPC UA (SDI, SMI) protocols has never been simpler: Use CANoe’s fault injection capabilities specifically developed for SCI-XX and RaSTA to get deep insights into your EULYNX system.
• Integration testing: Facilitate integration testing before actual integration, thereby avoiding expensive in-field errors. Due to its high scalability of simulations, CANoe is the perfect fit to test complex EULYNX systems like interlockings or radio block centers.
• Cybersecurity testing: With its fuzzing and penetration testing capabilities, CANoe allows testing of components that must conform to a high security standard. Additionally, CANoe simplifies testing of TLS encryption.

How can you benefit from CANoe and its Railway Signalling Add-on?

• From interactive explorative testing to automated acceptance testing
  • Explore your SCI-XX system by sending ad-hoc SCI-XX commands and messages through CANoe’s stimulating interfaces.
  • Perform automated tests of your EULYNX system early during development to uncover integration issues long before deployment.
  • Fully automate your end-of-line and acceptance tests of EULYNX compliant products.
  • Test your EULYNX component in virtual (Software-in-the-Loop; SIL) or real (Hardware-in-the-Loop; HIL) setups in CANoe. Reuse test cases and environment simulations from SIL for your HIL setup without any changes.
  • Run in-depth tests of the RaSTA protocol layer with a pre-built RaSTA test framework which simplifies test design and implementation in accordance with exhaustive requirement specifications.
• EUYLNX system testing made simple
  • Send SCI telegrams, set outputs, and measure the device under test reactions – synchronized and executed with a single click.
  • Easy tracking of all SCI telegrams, RaSTA messages and Ethernet frames with CANoe’s tracing and Ethernet capabilities.
  • Use the fault injection capabilities of the RaSTA and Process Data Interface layers to check conformity of your system under test.
• Visualize
  • Visualize EULYNX network data using the Graph, Trace and Data windows of CANoe
  • Use the Panel Editor of CANoe to create custom UI elements to control your EULYNX simulation
• Seamless integration of analog and digital I/Os with Vector’s test hardware – the VT System
  • Benefit from a unified testing environment: Simultaneously stimulate and test Ethernet interfaces (such as SCI-XX, SDI-XX, SMI) alongside analog and digital I/Os using Vector’s VT Systems within a single CANoe environment, enabling comprehensive end-to-end validation of EULYNX systems with automated test execution and real-time analysis.
• Open environment
  • Various APIs allow tool coupling (FMI, XIL API, FDX, DYNA4, MATLAB / Simulink, LabVIEW, etc.) and linking of application lifecycle and requirements engineering tools.
  • Employ various programming interfaces, such as the CANoe-internal programming language CAPL as well as C#, Python, Matlab/Simulink and LabView to give logic to the simulated
    counterparts of your EULYNX system – or simply replay prerecorded stimuli.
  • Use the tool vTESTstudio, which is seamlessly integrated in CANoe, for easy test design and test implementation. Link test cases directly to requirements engineering tools.
• Extensive EULYNX protocol support
  • Simulate and test SCI-XX systems according to EULYNX Baseline 4 and NeuPro Release 3. More Baselines and Releases are available on demand.
  • Use UDP, TCP or TLS (V1.2 and V1.3) as transport channels for the integrated RaSTA protocol.
  • Simulate and test SDI-XX and SMI using CANoe’s OPC UA servers and clients.
  • Specify user-defined application layers on top of RaSTA in a straightforward manner.
