[ECU Testing] Perform Automatic Input/Output Static Characteristics Tests on the Bench

Automatic function test for integration of design, QA and manufacturing

Are you forced to use HILS in the development environment to check block functions or do you spend a lot of time manually operating checkers and measuring instruments to acquire test data? We fulfill the desire of designers to only a part of the tester functions used in the production line and bring it to design evaluation. We have created a completely new automatic function test environment that improves production efficiency in a common test environment from design evaluation and manufacturing to QA.

Worldwide support for 20+ years, shipped 1,000+ units

Are you trying to develop a functional test solution for your ECUs and components? Warranty periods for auto parts commonly exceed 10 years. It is not realistic that a company permanently supports parts that it procured for itself or a test system that it internally developed. There is an option to outsource the tasks to professionals who have many years of experience in support and shipping.

Universal solution for various ECUs. No need to change configuration.

With Keysight’s solution, you no longer need to build a new test each time you design a new ECU. An N x M switching matrix is placed on each ECU pin and all lines connecting measurement equipment and power supply. Even if the pin layout changes, adjustment can be made simply by changing the connection of the switch using the software. This helps reduce the engineering resources and budget needed to develop each function tester and generate a high ROIC.

Switch matrix interlocking sequencer software A test program can be created only by arranging a sequence. Necessary switches are automatically switched with a description of a line for connection between nodes. 

Matrix that absorbs changes in pin layout 24 × N or 16 × N switch matrix enables ECU tests of multiple models. Up to several hundred channels can be connected by adding the required number of cards.

Module configuration helps ensure flexible extensibility

The measuring section and signal and power line switching all use a card-type module structure. It allows easy creation of a test environment according to the ECU function to be evaluated.

Access from other software environment Various APIs are released. This allows access from sequencer software of your preferred software environment and creation of an operator mode.

Power lines can also be constructed as necessary Multiple power supply systems required for testing can be prepared by combining a Load Card that can supply up to 30 A per channel and an external load.

Providing further scalability In addition to the compact use of TS–8989 alone, external hardware such as other measuring instruments, a CAN communication control unit, and PLC can be connected with the TS–8989 sequencer software as the core.
