Reduce Cost of Testing Your Body and Chassis ECUs with HIL
As vehicles have become more connected and automated, body and chassis systems have completely transformed. The complexity and number of electronic control units (ECUs) continue to expand—from active suspension and emergency steering to seat control, rear-view mirror ECUs integrated with infotainment systems, and passive safety systems such as airbags or seat belts. Engineers need a fast and accurate way to test functionality while eliminating potential failure points before production starts:
- Adapt to inevitable changes in signal lists and I/O requirements
- Conduct fault insertion and signal conditioning
- Integrate models, third-party devices, and toolkits to accurately simulate the full system
Body and Chassis HIL Test System
- NI SLSC hardware standardizes connectivity and simplifies overall system integration by reducing system point-to-point wiring through signal accumulation and standard cable use.
- Custom PXI or CompactRIO system with a broad range of modular I/O connected directly to the FPGA for testing with higher fidelity through high-speed deterministic execution.
- VeriStand includes features to configure real-time I/O, import and simulate models, and automate real-time tests.
