System Integration for Production Purposes

In principle, there are two ways to combine different test procedures:

SYSTEM CASCON offers CAPI (CASCON API), implemented by default
for the embedded platform integration option.
This interface has three different levels for control and thus offers the
highest degree of exibility and integration depth.

GOEPEL electronic offers a broad range of solutions, including related services,
specically for automated production testing. Our portfolio also includes customerspecic engineering. The result is a unique combination of products and services for
any kind of JTAG/Boundary Scan integration:

• embedded integration (tight or loose coupling)
• vector migration between systems (indirect coupling)
GOEPEL electronic offers proven solutions for both options, based on
standard products with specially designed, universal software interfaces.
Embedded integration uses a common system platform, while indirect
coupling is dened by separate execution environments (SW/HW), in
which the linking is achieved by merely transferring vectors (remote
execution).

While Level 1 only aims at loose integration applications, Level 2
also enables transparent access to the UUT through parallel I/O and
additionally supports non-JTAG compliant targets at the (TAP) interface
protocol level. On Level 3, the master software also takes over fully
independent vector control. This scalability makes it possible to use
predened test programs with dynamically generated vectors, for
example, for adaptive fault diagnosis.
Various options are available for system coupling:
• project-specic connection by the user
• system-specic CASCON Link Software (CLS option)

There is often a need for integrating stand-alone systems or inline testers into a
specic production environment. Such integrations are typically based on a Local Area
Network (LAN) connection or data servers and enable numerous process controls such as:

System Integration

This type of coupling makes use of the export/import functions of
SYSTEM CASCON to execute test procedures on other systems, such as
In-Circuit Testers. In the event of a fault, response vectors will provide
feedback, and SYSTEM CASCON will generate the same fault diagnosis
as if the test were conducted on the native system. Migration typically
also requires format conversion, which can be provided by GOEPEL
electronic in the form of pre-installed solutions.
