Test Benches with Motion Platforms
Testing ECUs with integrated sensors
dSPACE test benches can be equipped with motion platforms to stimulate sensors and actuators that cannot be accessed otherwise.
- For chassis systems and vehicle dynamics
- Pitch and roll motion to simulate the lateral and/or longitudinal acceleration using gravity
- Unlimited rotary motion around the vertical axis to simulate the yaw rate
Key Benefits
Test benches can also include a motion platform for electronic control units (ECUs) to stimulate the ECU’s integrated sensors and actuators. These systems allow for the stimulation of acceleration sensors and yaw rate sensors that cannot be accessed otherwise.
A dSPACE SCALEXIO system can provide additional physical variables from the environment simulation and simulate any missing components.
A typical use case for test benches with 3-D motion platforms is testing sensor clusters or ESP ECUs with integrated sensor clusters. The sensor cluster is mounted inside a 3-D motion platform so it can be rotated around three axes to simulate the motion of a vehicle.
