With AutoBox, dSPACE PHS hardware can be used for in-vehicle applications. It provides extended robustness and can be directly powered by a car battery.
AutoBox is the ideal enclosure for using your dSPACE PHS-based real-time system to carry out in-vehicle control experiments such as test drives in the development of powertrains, chassis control or advanced driver assistance systems. You can install AutoBox quite easily in your test car, e.g., in the trunk or the passenger cabin.
AutoBox is a robust box for mounting processor boards and I/O boards. It provides space for dSPACE PHS hardware (7 slots in the AutoBox, 15 slots in the Tandem-AutoBox). Designed for in-vehicle use, AutoBox can operate with 12 V, 24 V and 48 V power supplies under rough environmental conditions.

1) A link board or a slot CPU board is not required for PHS-bus systems based on DS1007.
2) The maximum voltage between any input pins or any input pins and output ground must not exceed 100 V.
3) The maximum output power must not be exceeded.
4) Derating occurs at output power > 200 W and ambient temperatures > 30 °C (86 °F).
5) Shock mounts must be regularly inspected for visible signs of wear or damage and have to be replaced if necessary.
6) The dSPACE processor and I/O boards have different maximum ambient temperatures. When they are installed together, the lowest maximum ambient temperature applies.
