GenX Toolchain

Vehicle Network Definition Tool

VxNet

Integrated within SmartWheels GenX — no separate installation required

VxNet is ANCIT's purpose-built DBC editor for CAN-based automotive networks. Create and edit DBC files from scratch, import vendor network databases, and merge multiple vendor DBCs into a single ECU-specific network definition — all within the GenX toolchain.

Everything You Need to Define a Vehicle Network

From raw signal definition to multi-ECU merged databases — VxNet handles the full DBC lifecycle.

DBC Creation & Editing

Create CAN network databases from scratch. Define messages, signals, nodes, attributes, and value tables with a structured editor designed for automotive engineers.

Vendor DBC Merging

Merge multiple vendor-supplied DBC files into a single consolidated ECU DBC. Resolve conflicts, filter relevant messages, and build your own network definition from OEM-provided databases.

Excel CAN Matrix Import

Import a CAN signal matrix from Excel and automatically generate a DBC file — eliminating manual entry and reducing errors in the network definition process.

Multi-Format Export

Export DBC files to ARXML (AUTOSAR), Excel, C header files, and subsets of the original DBC. Seamlessly feed into AUTOSAR toolchains or your GenX configuration.

CAN FD Support

Full CAN FD compatibility — define extended frame messages, bit rates, and FD-specific signal attributes for modern high-speed automotive networks.

GenX Integration

VxNet is embedded inside SmartWheels GenX. Network definitions flow directly into ECU configuration — no file handoffs, no format conversions, no broken toolchains.

Workflow

From Vendor DBC to ECU Network in Minutes

VxNet is built around the real workflow of an ECU software engineer — not the other way around.

1
Collect Vendor DBCs

Gather DBC files from your OEM, sensor suppliers, or other ECUs in the network. Import them directly into VxNet.

2
Filter & Merge

Select the messages and signals relevant to your ECU. Merge them into one clean DBC — resolving naming conflicts and address collisions.

3
Edit & Validate

Add custom messages, define Tx/Rx nodes, and validate the network database against AUTOSAR and CAN protocol rules.

4
Push to GenX

The finalized DBC feeds directly into SmartWheels GenX for ECU configuration, AUTOSAR mapping, and production code generation.
