Computing Gateways
Communication solutions for in-vehicle networks
The amount of software in modern electric vehicles is growing steadily, leading to an increase in data and communication solutions. More and more often, OEMs and their suppliers are confronted with the need to integrate different in-vehicle networks in test and production equipment.
Ixxat Computing Gateways are sprecially design to meet modern automotive demands and support a wide range of applications that can be easily configured with just a few clicks. They run without needing any additional software or hardware. Computing Gateways can execute multiple applications simultaneously, such as data logging, vehicle communication visualization, gateway functions, residual bus simulation, automation interoperability, custom code execution, and Matlab/Simulink integration.
Mobilizer series
The new Mobilizer was developed for the diverse and high demanding requirements of automotive communication and testing, including FlexRay and Automotive Ethernet. It combines high performance and maximum flexibilityinto one solution.
FRC-EP series
The FRC series was developed for demanding end-ofline test applications and for the communication needs of testbed tests, including FexRay. This product family can be used for gateway and simulation tasks.
CANnector series
The CANnector enables simple automotive gateway and logging applications. It was specially designed for engineering work, test bench, and EoL tests in production.
Computing Gateways Product Families
Ixxat Computing Gateways enable the connection between incompatible networks with different communication protocols and addressing systems. These product families offer various combination options for network protocols. Each gateway combination can be created quickly and easily using drag & drop, programmable C code, or preconfigured Matlab/Simulink models. The following overview shows all protocol connections of the Mobilizer, FRC-EP and CANnector product families.

Introducing Mobilizer
The Mobilizer is designed for high-performance control cabinet conditions and features a robust aluminum housing with passive cooling, enabling operation within a wide temperature range. An integrated temperature monitoring system ensures reliable performance even under high computing loads. Depending on the model, the Mobilizer supports up to six digital I/Os, two analog inputs, and four analog outputs, enabling the parallel integration of multiple measurement devices.
The device is used by engineers as a desktop unit, but with accessories, it is also suitable for DIN rail mount ing in test benches and control rooms.

Advanced Configuration Tool (ACT)
The Mobilizer-, CANnector- and FRC-EP product families represent the hardware basis for numerous automotive applications. However, the extensive performance of the products is only achieved in combination with our Advanced Configuration Tool (ACT). This engineering software was developed with the aim of offering users the greatest possible flexibility and simple user guidance when solving their applications.
Endless features, One solution
Intelligent gateways from HMS offer a variety of integrated applications that can be configured with just a few clicks. Once configured, they work standalone without additional software or hardware, unlike conventional solutions. Users do not have to choose a single application, but can set up and run several applications in parallel on one gateway – in the shortest possible time and without any programming knowledge.
Domain or zone architecture?
Since modern electronic components in automobiles require centralized data processing, many car manufacturers are switching from the established domain architecture to a zonal E/E architecture. Regardless of this, the intelligent gateways of the Mobilizer, CANnector and FRC-EP families are suitable for solving communication applications in both system environments - regardless of their architecture. In addition, the HMS gateways support all common on-board networks and their message catalogs such as Fibex, DBC, ARXML, A2L or LDF.
Automation and PLC interoperability
Communication tasks between in-vehicle communication in the vehicle and factory automation often require several hardware and software components, which means a significant amount of time and money. The intelligent gateways of the Mobilizer, CANnector and FRC-EP series facilitate access to the network in the vehicle for communication, diagnostics and flashing, thereby closing the gap between factory automation and vehicle communication safely and reliably.
CAN Range Extension
Intelligent gateways enable the wired or wireless connection of test benches, test objects and test/simulation tools via CAN/FD over longer distances. Ixxat offers scalable solutions for range extension - from simple non-intelligent repeaters for CAN/CAN FD for segmentation or galvanic isolation to intelligent bridges and powerful platforms that support many different bus systems and offer conversion and interpretation functions.
Overvoltage & EMI protection
In automotive production lines, vehicle components such as engines, drives or batteries are tested under high voltage conditions. This means that all connected test components are also exposed to high voltages. The Computing Ggateways and all CAN repeaters have integrated galvanic isolation that protects all system components from high voltage and electromagnetic interference (EMI), between one and four kilovolts.
