Unified Diagnostic Services by Gofore
Seamless ECU diagnostics with UDS client solutions
Reliable, standardised, and portable UDS by Gofore for automotive and mobile machinery
The Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS) protocol is the industry standard (ISO 14229-1) for ECU diagnostics and maintenance. Gofore's highly portable UDS client solution enables efficient communication with electronic control units (ECUs) in vehicles and mobile machinery—whether on the production line, during maintenance, or remotely via telematics.
Features and benefits
UDS diagnostics for any environment
- Standardized & vendor-independent: Fully compliant with ISO 14229-1, ensuring compatibility across different ECUs and machines.
- Versatile use cases: Supports diagnostics via connectivity devices, HMI interfaces, and laptops, making it ideal for various deployment scenarios.
- Highly portable & efficient: ANSI C-based, modular architecture with a small memory footprint, easily adaptable to different environments.
- Full UDS functionality: Enables software flashing, fault memory interrogation, and direct ECU control via a user-friendly interface.
- Remote maintenance capabilities: Perform firmware updates and system diagnostics from anywhere using telematics solutions.
With extensive experience in UDS development, Gofore offers tailored solutions for mobile machinery manufacturers who need reliable, efficient, and scalable UDS clients. Our team of experts ensures seamless adaptation to your hardware, providing custom GUI design, bootloader development, and ongoing support.
Use cases
Versatile deployment for efficient ECU management
- Remote ECU management: Use a connectivity device to download software remotely and manage ECUs via CAN bus.
- Use machine HMI: Execute a UDS client application in an HMI device to update ECU’s and other devices in the CAN bus.
- Laptop-based maintenance: Connect a laptop to the machine CAN bus for diagnostics and software flashing using a UDS client application.
A more advanced use case for the UDS client is leveraging a connectivity or telematics device for remote maintenance. Here, the portability of the UDS client is crucial, allowing it to run seamlessly on a wide range of devices.
UDS – The protocol without which vehicles come to a standstill
Modern vehicles and machines are hardly conceivable without UDS. The protocol enables standardised diagnostics, error analysis and over-the-air updates. Find out more about its functions and advantages in our blog article.
