ECU calibration unit has a data throughput of up to 5 MByte/s
Measurement data throughput depends on the microcontroller used. On the Renesas V850, Freescale MPC5xxx or Infineon XC2000, data throughput is 1 MByte/s, while on the Infineon TriCore-PD it is 3 MByte/s, and 5 MByte/s is possible with the TriCore-ED. Signals are acquired time-synchronously, even in very fast tasks with cycle times less than 50 microseconds, and they are provided with precise time stamps. With the TriCore-ED it is even possible to achieve cycle times less than 15 microseconds.
The device is connected to the ECU’s microcontroller using a compact adapter measuring 23x24mm. The plug-on device enables simple and flexible mounting on the ECU. Together with the cable and the waterproof plug connections, the hardware is designed for the high temperatures of automotive applications. The measurement system is well suited for use in the vehicle interior and engine compartment, on test benches and in the laboratory. The VX1060 base module processes the measurement and stimulation data and interfaces to a measurement and calibration tool such as CANape via the standardized XCP on Ethernet protocol.
Only minor changes to the ECU code are necessary to acquire measurement data. Measurement effects on ECU execution times are minimal; with the TriCore-ED it is even possible to measure without affecting execution time.
