dSPACE SCALEXIO HIL System

Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation makes it possible to test new ECUs and software in a largely virtual environment throughout the entire devel­opment cycle, without real vehicles or prototypes. The idea is to connect real ECU prototypes to real-time models of the vehicle and its mechanical, elec­trical, hydraulic and electronic components. This allows systematic and fully automated testing of the ECU and the entire electronic vehicle system.

This course uses the dSPACE SCALEXIO technology to demonstrate which hardware components you need to integrate in order to customize and extend a simulator so that it matches your requirements. Step by step, you will learn the idea behind HIL simulations and the po­tential they offer. Practical examples are used to illus­trate the basics and a selection of advanced handling features in ConfigurationDesk, the configuration and implementation tool for dSPACE SCALEXIO hardware.

Please note: ControlDesk, AutomationDesk, and Bus Manager are not covered by this course. If you want to learn about the extensive and powerful method of automated testing in combination with ECU diagnostics, fault simulation, and report generation, we recommend you to book this course in conjunction with the Automa­tionDesk courses. For engineers whose tasks include configuring LIN, CAN, and CAN FD communication for the SCALEXIO real-time systems using the Bus Manager, we recommend the Bus Manager training.
