DaimlerChrysler AG in Stuttgart greatly speeded up function design for its new engine series for commercial vehicles by the systematic use of dSPACE-based rapid control prototyping (RCP) systems. Developed at the Institut für Automatisierungstechnik (IAT), the institute for automation technology in Darmstadt, the model-based measurement strategy is implemented on modular dSPACE hardware, which allows the engine’s actuators and sensors to be connected directly. Added to this system are MicroAutoBoxes connected to existing ECUs via XCP.
