ECU Configurator Tool

The ECU Configurator is a PC application that can configure our Gateway ECUs over CAN bus. The software can be used to set communication channels (CAN, CAN FD, LIN) parameters, frame routing and mapping, I/O mapping, and LIN scheduler for LIN master. A Kvaser CAN interface is needed in order to use the application. The ECU Configurator can be purchased with or without the Kvaser interface. Software License This is a perpetual license valid for one company. The license can be installed on an unlimited number of computers, and can be used with any Kvaser CAN interface and any of our Gateway ECUs and configurable gateways. The license is not bound to a computer nor a serial number of a Kvaser CAN interface. Features Tech Specs Documents Downloads Data conversion between CAN, CAN FD and LIN buses One CAN channel One optional CAN FD channel One LIN channel SAE J1939 support Configurable frame and data routing between channels Up to seven multi-purpose inputs and outputs with current measurement Configurable I/O mapping onto CAN or LIN frame data PC tool for easy configuration Waterproof automotive-grade ECU Suitable for 12 V and 24 V systems ECE-R10 (E1) approval (planned for 2021/Q4) Customisation on request Usage Examples: CAN-LIN bridge CAN – CAN FD gateway Remote I/O ECU Universal SAE J1939 ECU The ECU Configurator (p/n: GW-ECU-CONFIG-TOOL) PC application allows to easily configure the ECU over CAN bus. The user can set ECU’s mode, communication channels’ parameters, inter-channel frame conversion (frame mappings), and I/O mappings. The configuration is stored in the device’s non-volatile memory. The CAN-LIN Gateway is available in several variants that offer combinations of single-CAN / dual-CAN (CAN FD supported), with/without CAN termination, and automatic wake-up and sleep based on CAN bus activity / control over the ignition switch (KL15) input signal.
