LABCAR system components are building blocks for open and scalable Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) test systems.
They leverage established LABCAR technology, i.e. hardware and software products, which are integrated in a modular and flexible architecture.
A basic HiL system configuration comprises three main LABCAR system components: LABCAR System Base, LABCAR System Software Pack, and PT-LABCAR Engine ECU I/O (i.e. a domain specific building block).
LABCAR System Base
LABCAR System Base integrates power supply, a target PC for model computations, housing for the signal box, and the system’s rack.
LABCAR System Software Pack
LABCAR System Software Pack bundles the software products LABCAR-OPERATOR, LABCAR-RTPC, LABCAR-MCS and LABCAR-RTC.
PT-LABCAR Engine ECU I/O
The building block PT-LABCAR Engine ECU I/O comprises boards for generation and measurement of engine ECU signals and a standardized wiring harness to the PT-LABCAR Connector and Breakout Box.
Alternatively, the domain specific building block can be replaced by customized components for applications other than engine ECU testing.
LABCAR System Add-Ons
In addition to these main building blocks, optional extensions are available for failure simulation (LABCAR System Fault Simulation) and for integration with INCA measurement and calibration tools (LABCAR System M/C).
