Download Advanced Configuration Tool

The Advanced Configuration Tool (ACT) is a Windows application for configuring and managing firmware on CANnector, FRC‑EP, and Mobilizer devices. It allows users to create gateway projects, configure bus systems like CAN, CAN FD, FlexRay, LIN, and EtherCAT, and simulate restbus communication (RBS). After installing ACT on a Windows 10 or 11 PC, the built-in IxAdmin tool provides access to firmware updates, IP settings, and configuration management. Configurations are created via a user-friendly drag‑and‑drop interface and can be downloaded directly to the device. ACT also supports data logging, signal manipulation, and real-time visualization via an integrated HTML5 web server.
