What is SCALEXIO?
SCALEXIO is a modular and scalable real-time platform used for comprehensive and sophisticated development and validation of functions for electronic control units (ECUs).
A SCALEXIO system consists of hardware and software, combined according to project requirements. It can be equipped with I/O interfaces as well as bus and network interfaces for various applications. SCALEXIO systems come in different sizes and can be used for laboratory as well as in-vehicle applications.
During HIL tests, SCALEXIO simulates the environment of the ECU whereas during RCP projects, the system replaces the ECU in a vehicle or controlled system, allowing you to experience and test control functions in a real environment.

What our customers say
In my opinion, dSPACE provides some of the best HIL hardware and software in the market. Overall, I'm very happy with the HIL system and how it has helped us improve our software testing capabilities.
With the dSPACE simulation solution, we have a flexibly configurable way to efficiently and reliably check the correct functioning of sensors and driver assistance systems of real vehicles in our test centers.
We were really impressed with SCALEXIO's ease of expandability.
