TS-8900 Automotive Electronics Functional Test System

Data Sheets

A Functional Test System

  • For automotive electronics manufacturing
  • Suitable for medium to high pin count automotive elec­tronic control unit (ECU) applications
  • That uses industry standard PXI, GPIB and LXI instrumentations

·       TS-8900 is the latest addition to the widely established TS-Series of end-of-line test system for automotive electronics manufacturing. Designed to reduce your cost of test, the TS-8900 achieves this by providing a higher throughput and higher test coverage while reducing your equipment capital cost. It is ideal for medium to high chan­nel count applications such as:

  • Powertrain ECU
  • Body and comfort ECU
  • Safety ECU

TS-8900 Platform Overview

The Keysight Technolocies, Inc. TS-8900 provides a cost effective solution to automotive electronics manufacturers who are constantly under pressure to produce quality ECUs at a faster and lower cost than their competition without compromising test coverage

The TS-8900 is a commercial off-the-shelf PXI-based platform designed specifically for automotive electronics functional test. This provides the benefits of enabling test development engineers to perform faster test development, execution and line integration.

With instruments engineered specifically for automotive applications to meet 3 critical components:

  • Time to deployment
  • Flexibility to accommodate a wide scope of ECUs and
  • Decreasing the total cost of test

The TS-8900 comprises a standard platform with test system of both hardware and software that is easily customized to suit your particular test strategy and range of ECUs.

With over 400 automotive applications-tuned libraries in our software, customers will be able to accelerate their platform test development and deployment up to 3x faster than building test systems from individual components.

The TS-8900 is scalable to meet manufacturers’ needs that have requirements to deploy automotive end-of-line test systems that can start small and then scale up as their production capacity needs increase with time, thus keeping cost of tests low.

TS-8900 Platform Characteristics

Speed

The TS-8900 is designed specifically for automotive ECUs with medium to high pin count in mind. With high voltage, current and channel count support built in the load, stimulus and instruments of the system, customers are able to adopt new test methodologies like parallel testing cost effectively while increasing throughput. With over 400 automotive applications-tuned libraries in Keysight’s TestExec SL 7.0, customers are able to develop & deploy their end-of-line test systems faster.

Scalability

The TS-8900’s modular design empowers customers to design & deploy systems that are scalable from, for example, a single device under test (DUT) functional test system to a four-DUT functional test system that is able to test four DUTs simultaneously. Customers thus have the flexibility of growing their functional test system capacities as the demand grows.

Accuracy and repeatability

Equipment stability and signal paths used during the test measurement are compensated based on calibrated data (e.g. SENSE input feature). This provides customers accurate loads, stimulus and measurements resulting in repeatable tests. TS-8900 leverages the measurement speed, accuracy, and repeatability strengths of Keysight instruments, creating reliable and high performance automotive electronics functional test systems.

Global standard and single vendor support

The TS-8900 provides a standard platform with Keysight global support to customers. This is achieved via TS-8900 compliance to various global safety standards and Keysight’s global support infrastructure, thus lowering the total cost of test for customers where they can develop once and deploy everywhere.

TS-8900 Platform Architecture

The TS-8900 comprises seven major sub-systems:

  • System controller (software and I/O)
  • Serial communication
  • Power sources
  • Measuring/Stimulus instrumentation (PXI, LXI, GPIB)
  • DUT-Specific connections (loads, etc.)
  • Signal/Load switching (DC/AC)
  • Mass interconnect

System Controller

The TS-8900 system controller comprises an industrial PC with 3.0 GHz Intel Core2Duo processor and 2 GB RAM with pre-installed Test Exec. 7.0 and Windows XP. With up to 3 PCI slots available, the TS-8900 provides customers with a scalable system controller that is able to able to support up to 1 PCI-based CAN module, a GPIB module and with 1 PCI slot to spare. The TS-5000 family application software comprises of 400 built-in libraries for automotive applications, empowering test engineers to develop test plans in shorter time frames.
