The PCI-8517 is designed for developing FlexRay applications. As part of the NI-XNET platform, the PXI-8517 works well in applications requiring real-time, high-speed manipulation of hundreds of FlexRay frames and signals, such as hardware-in-the-loop simulation, rapid control prototyping, bus monitoring, automation control, and more. The PCI-8517 contains two fully functional FlexRay interfaces, allowing an individual engine control unit (ECU) to be connected to the interface when other cold-start nodes are not available. You also can use the interfaces individually to connect two separate FlexRay networks while maintaining full performance on each interface.
