Engineering Day 2026

Practical sessions for in-vehicle communication engineers

The Vehicle Communication Engineering Day brings together seven technical webinars covering current topics and products in vehicle communication.

The sessions focus on CAN FD, CAN XL, Automotive Ethernet, network infrastructure, data logging, testing, embedded interfaces and telematics. Our experts will present products from PEAK, Ixxat and owasys, explain where they fit into different engineering workflows and show how they can be used in development, testing and integration.
Register once for the Engineering Day. Your registration gives you access to the complete webinar program. On the day of the event, you can join any session at its scheduled start time and decide for yourself whether you would like to attend individual sessions or follow the entire program.

Registration is free.

Sessions: 

  1. In-Vehicle Communication 2027: Technologies, Solutions and What’s Next
    (    Starting time: 14:00 CET)
    How CAN FD, CAN XL, Automotive Ethernet, embedded interfaces and telematics are shaping the next generation of vehicle communication.This opening session provides an overview of current developments in in-vehicle communication. It explains how CAN FD, CAN XL, Automotive Ethernet, embedded interfaces and telematics fit together and where the main application areas are. The session also includes an outlook on upcoming products and technologies.

  2. From CAN to CAN XL: Engineering, Testing and Logging for Next-Generation Networks
    (    Starting time: 14:30 CET)
    Practical workflows for analysis, prototyping, testing and data logging with PCAN-Explorer, PCAN-USB XL and PCAN-Logger Basic. This session looks at the transition from Classic CAN and CAN FD to CAN XL. It shows how PCAN-Explorer, PCAN-USB XL and PCAN-Logger Basic can be used for analysis, debugging, prototyping, testing and data logging in day-to-day engineering work.

  3. Building Reliable CAN and CAN FD Network Topologies
    (    Starting time: 15:00 CET)
    How to design, extend and connect robust vehicle networks using the right topology and infrastructure components. This webinar covers the basic principles of CAN and CAN FD network topologies. It explains when repeaters, bridges, gateways and other infrastructure components are needed and how they can be used to extend, segment or connect networks.

  4. From Data Logging to microHIL: Flexible Testing for Modern Vehicle Networks
    (    Starting time: 15:30 CET)
    Combine logging, gatewaying and real-time testing to validate vehicle communication from the test bench to the road. This session focuses on data logging, gatewaying and real-time testing with PCAN-Logger Basic and Mobilizer. Typical applications include test benches, in-vehicle testing, troubleshooting, validation and microHIL setups.

  5. Testing Automotive Ethernet: Network Access, Link Control and Fault Injection
    (    Starting time: 16:00 CET)
    Practical approaches to 10BASE-T1S access, reproducible link testing and automated fault injection with the PAE-Media Converter. This webinar shows how Automotive Ethernet networks can be accessed and tested in the lab or on a test bench. It covers 10BASE-T1S, controlled link interruptions and repeatable fault-injection tests using the PAE-Media Converter.

  6. Embedded Interfaces: Choosing the Right Communication Device
    (    Starting time: 16:30 CET)
    How to select and integrate USB interfaces, plug-in cards or embedded chip solutions for development, testing and series applications. This session compares USB interfaces, plug-in cards and embedded communication chips. It explains the differences in performance, flexibility, space requirements, software support and integration effort to help you select the right solution for your application.

  7. From Vehicle to Cloud: Open Linux Gateways and Remote CAN Logging
    (    Starting time: 17:00 CET)
    Connect vehicle data, edge applications and backend systems using owasys gateways and the PCAN-Remote Logger. This webinar covers the connection between vehicle networks, edge applications and backend systems. It presents applications for owasys gateways and the PCAN-Remote Logger, including remote monitoring, fleet connectivity, vehicle data access, edge processing and long-term data logging.
