Description
The MACH-ETH is an automotive network interface that features one Ethernet port, two CAN FD channels, a LIN channel, a USB and RS-232 port, and multiple I/Os. The device can act as an Ethernet-CAN(/FD), Ethernet-LIN, USB-CAN(/FD) and USB-LIN interface as well as CAN(/FD)-LIN gateway, and a user-scripting feature allows to run user applications directly on the device. The open communication protocol enables access to CAN(/FD) and LIN channels over Ethernet, USB, RS-232, and to transmit/receive frames.

MACH-ETH Communication Protocol Specification
The communication protocol over Ethernet, USB, or RS-232 enables access to CAN(/FD) and LIN bus channels. The allows other systems, such as PLC or computers, to easily access the CAN, CAN FD, and LIN bus through the interface.
A user-scripting feature, which allows to run user applications directly on the MCU, can be used for HiL testing and rest-bus simulations. The device can act as an interface, a gateway, or bridge between all its channels.
An analogue input and a digital output enable the user to interact with external peripherals.

Integration
The open communication protocol (API) allows to easily access CAN(/FD) and LIN channels over Ethernet (supports both TCP and UDP), USB VCP, or RS-232. With the help of the communication protocol, the user can configure the device’s CAN/CAN FD/LIN channels and frames can be transmitted and received.
