Hardware Details
dSPACE Simulator Mid-Size is a ready-to-use, standard hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulator for systematically and automatically testing automotive ECUs. The hardware of dSPACE Simulator Mid-Size is mounted in a 19” desktop rack (height: 6 – 12 HU).
The simulation model runs on the processor board. dSPACE Simulator Mid-Size generates and measures I/O signals via the DS2202 or DS2211 HIL I/O Board, which also performs the signal conditioning. Additional I/O and signal conditioning can be added on request.

Typical Fields of Application

• Engine, transmission, vehicle dynamics and body electronics HIL
• Open-loop or closed-loop environment
• Realistic software system tests/unit tests
• Function integration tests
• Acceptance tests on diagnostic functions
• Automated testing

Connection to Host PC
All dSPACE software for experiment setup and control or test automation runs on your PC. The dSPACE Simulator hardware is connected to your PC via Link Boards (ISA, PCMCIA, or PCI).

^* Devices connected to the dSPACE HIL system, for example, electronic control units, can feed in high currents and high voltages (voltages over 60 V DC or 30 V ACRMS) which can be dangerous for the user. This can happen, for example, in systems for piezoelectric or hybrid applications. That can lead to risks for people and equipment (property damage, personal injury, or death). In any circumstance, you must observe all safety precautions described in the documentation. Please contact dSPACE for additional equipment supporting safety aspects such as electrically safe interface cables.
