ETAS Virtual Networks
The ETAS Virtual Networks system is a virtual bus system that can be used by simulations. INCA supports CAN and CAN FD monitoring for the Virtual Networks. In the Hardware Configuration Editor, select the ETAS Virtual Networks system to add the virtual bus to your hardware configuration.
Note |

To successfully connect to the simulation, ensure that the CAN transmission rate [Baud] matches the ETAS Virtual Networks system simulation rate. |
System limits
INCA supports the following with ETAS Virtual Networks
- Four CAN and CAN FD monitoring devices
- CAN Monitoring parallel with XCPSimTime on Ethernet system
Functional restrictions
- Stopping and restarting a simulation while running measure data acquisition is not supported.
The recommended setting for the Measure failure behavior option is Abort after failure.
It is not possible to reliably detect a lost connection, so a reconnect may not be triggered even if the connection is lost.
If the simulation runs significantly faster than real time, measure buffers may be overloaded which triggers INCA to stop the recording.
Simulation requirements
To connect INCA to the ETAS Virtual Networks bus simulation the vNetBOA.fmu needs to be added to the simulation system. The FMU is located at
<drive>:\Program Files\ETAS\BOA_V2\FMUs\vNetBOA.fmu
The ETAS Virtual Networks time and the time of potentially parallel running XCPSimTime on Ethernet devices must start at the same time with the same value (typically 0).
ETAS Virtual Networks clock and XCP clock must have the same speed.
Module parameters
Parameters tabNameEnter any name for the hardware module.
Serial numberShows the serial number read from the device.
If the hardware is not connected or if it was not found during the hardware search, enter the complete number by hand (it can be found on the device).
The serial number must be entered as it is needed by INCA to identify the device. The serial number is stored in the hardware configuration.
Firmware VersionShows the firmware version of the connected hardware module.
INCA hardware communicationShows the hardware connection between the hardware and the PC.
