dSPACE Simulator Mid-Size

Standardized, off-the-shelf HIL simulator based on DS2202 or DS2211 HIL I/O Board

• For ECU function and integration tests
• Ideally tailored for testing powertrain, vehicle dynamics and body ECUs
• Signal conditioning, load simulation and electrical failure simulation
• Open and scalable

Open Hardware Concept
dSPACE Simulator Mid-Size is a ready-to-use, standard hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulator for testing automotive ECUs systematically and automatically.
The simulation model runs on the processor hardware (single-processor or multiprocessor systems). dSPACE Simulator Mid-Size generates and measures I/O signals via the integrated dSPACE I/O boards. The function range is complemented by load and failure simulation.

Typical Fields of Application

• Engine, transmission, vehicle dynamics and body electronics HIL
• Open-loop or closed-loop environment
• Realistic unit tests
• Function integration tests, release test, and ECU diagnostics tests
• Automated testing
• Real-time simulation
• Electric drives applications (combined with Electric Motor HIL Solution)

Hardware Details
The hardware of dSPACE Simulator Mid-Size is mounted in a 19” desktop rack (standard height: 6 – 12 HU).
The DS1005 PPC Board and DS1006 Processor Board can be used as processor boards. The DS2202 or DS2211 HIL I/O Board generate and measure the I/O signals. The signal conditioning, loads, failure insertion units (FIU) and power supply are also mounted in the 19” rack. Additional I/O, signal conditioning, fault simulation, and current measurement can be added on request.

Connection to Host PC
All dSPACE software 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).
