The special strength of the MicroAutoBox hardware is its unique combination of high-performance, comprehensive automotive I/O and an extremely compact and robust design - all for a favourable price which lets you equip several vehicles or a whole test fleet to check the reliability of your control functions.
Moreover, with dSPACE's comprehensive software and hardware support, you can also keep overall system costs low. MicroAutoBox offers interfaces for all major automotive bus system: CAN, LIN and FlexRay.
Benefits and features of dSPACE
- Develop, test and optimise control functions rapidly and reliably in real time
- Variants for a wide rang of applications with CAN, LIN and FlexRay interfaces
- Robust and compact design ideal for in-vehicle prototyping
- Integrated flight recorder for long-term data acquisition
More features
Application programs are stored in non-volatile memory, allowing MicroAutoBox to start up autonomously after power-up. A PC or notebook can be connected temporarily for program download and data analysis (hot plugging). I/O functionalities for typical automotive applications are already included, and the box contains signal conditioning for automotive signal level.
Three standard variants
MicroAutoBox is available in three standard variants which differ in terms of interfaces and I/O functionalities. With interfaces to the CAN and LIN bus (all three MicroAutoBox variants) and the FlexRay bus (MicroAutoBox 1401/1505/1507), intelligent sensors and actuators can be integrated during the prototyping process and safety-critical real-time system can be developed. dSPACE offers engineering services to adapt the I/O and signal conditioning to your specifications.
Application areas
MicroAutoBox is a real-time system for performing fast function prototyping from scratch. It operates without user intervention, just like an ECU. MicroAutoBox can be used for many different rapid control prototyping (RCP) applications, for example:
- Chassis control
- Power trains
- Body control
- X-by-wire applications
