Description

Hardware Details dSPACE Simulator Mid-Size is a ready-to-use, standard hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulator for systematically and automatically testing automotive ECUs. The hardware of dSPACE Simulator Mid-Size is mounted in a 19 desktop rack (height: 6 12 HU). The simulation model runs on the processor board. dSPACE Simulator Mid-Size generates and measures I/O signals via the DS2202 or DS2211 HIL I/O Board, which also performs the signal conditioning. Additional I/O and signal conditioning can be added on request.

Typical Fields of Application Engine, transmission, vehicle dynamics and body electronics HIL Open-loop or closed-loop environment Realistic software system tests/unit tests Function integration tests Acceptance tests on diagnostic functions Automated testing

Connection to Host PC All dSPACE software (p. 127) for experiment setup and control or test automation runs on your PC or notebook. The dSPACE Simulator hardware is connected to your PC via link boards (ISA, PCMCIA, or PCI, p. 426).

1)

Devices connected to the dSPACE HIL system, for example, electronic control units, can feed in high currents and high voltages (voltages over 60 V DC or 30 V ACRMS), which can be dangerous for the user. This can happen, for example, in systems for piezoelectric or hybrid applications. Such currents and voltages can result in property damage, personal injury, or death. Under all circumstances, you must observe all the safety precautions described in the documentation. Please contact dSPACE for additional safety-related equipment, such as electrically safe interface cables.

Failure Insertion Units A standard dSPACE Simulator Mid-Size supports electrical failure simulation on all ECU output pins connected to the HIL I/O Board. A hardware extension allows electrical failures to be simulated on ECU inputs as well. The host PC controls both types of failure simulation via an RS232 interface. ECU outputs (per load/FIU unit): Five DS791 failure insertion units (FIUs) with 10 channels, connected to all 50 actuator channels. (If no FIU is required, it can optionally be replaced with ve DS792 Fuse Cards.) ECU inputs: optional, via hardware extension (DS793 Base Board and DS794 FIU Modules)

Remote-controlled with ControlDesk

Failure Simulation and automated with AutomationDesk Cable break simulation (open wire) Simulation of short circuits: from ECU pins to ground or battery voltages Simulation of cross-wired short circuits between ECU pins via common fail planes Simultaneous activation of multiple failures (latch mode) dSPACE Simulator Mid-Size is also available without FIU cards on request.
