High-Voltage Test Adapters – The Solution for Safe Testing of HV Components

Special test adapters for safe testing of high-voltage components on the HiL tester

If high-voltage components or subsystems of electric and hybrid vehicles are to be tested, HV components must be constructed so that they are safe to touch and all queries to be measured or influenced must be fed to the test system galvanically isolated from the high voltage. Softing realizes special test adapters for HV control units, in other words for Battery Management Controllers (BMC) as well as for Cell Supervision Electronics (CSE).

Passive Cell Simulation for ECU Tests without Real Cells

Passive Cell Simulation by Softing

Passive cell simulations are used to avoid being permanently dependent on real batteries or very complex and expensive active cell simulations during the development of Cell Supervision Electronics (CSE). These simulate the complete cell stack in a balanced state of charge, the individual cell controllers detect suitably charged cells and thus a fully functional battery system.

The Perfect Match – Individual workshop tester meets flexible CAN/CAN FD Interface

Softing TDX.workshop and Kvaser U100 – Strong Together in After-Sales

GlobalmatiX equips camper fleet from roadsurfer

After an intensive comparison of competitors, roadsurfer GmbH has decided in favor of the xTCU interface including the comprehensive C3M software package. The GlobalmatiX offer is seen as the best prerequisite for realizing the ambitious expansion plans in Germany and Europe on the IT side as well. In 2022, the roadsurfer station network will comprise more than 50 locations in 12 countries.

HV Insulation Fault Simulations for Testing Safety-Relevant Functions

High-Voltage Insulation Fault Simulations

HV insulation fault simulations are used to test and validate safety-relevant system functions, either during the engineering process or also after repairs carried out by after-sales service or the repair shop, or directly on the vehicle.

How Customers Benefit from International Standards

How Customers Benefit from International Standards

How Customers Benefit from International Standards – The use of standards in the Automotive sector generates significant efficiency gains. Tests can start earlier due to the unambiguousness of data descriptions, ECUs become less expensive due to standardized buses and protocols and the use of uniform runtime environments saves rework and maintenance costs.

HV Measuring Adapters and HV Breakout Boxes (BOB) for Safe Working on High-Voltage Systems

High-Voltage Equipment by Softing

Alongside interfaces for tapping individual I/O signals, HV measuring adapters also provide possible access to the HV power supply. In the case of HV breakout boxes, I/O signals and supply lines can be specifically manipulated by using suitable jumpers. Equipped with the original vehicle plug connections, this means that signals at the control unit plug can be measured without any contact or can be specifically influenced by interruption, short-circuit or connection of a bleeder and transfer resistor.
