Test Boards | Working as if you were working on a vehicle – but with full comfort
From a compact test board at your desk to a functional mock-up unit (FMU) – individual breadboard assemblies for maximum reliability in engineering and testing
Different original components can be attached to test boards comfortable and according to their target arrangement in the vehicle and connected to each other. This is the perfect way to subject, in particular, the cable harness and ECUs to complex networking and function tests in conjunction with real sensors, actuators and other subsystems. Test boards thus enable flexible tests for series validation – long before tests are possible on real vehicles.
Due to the suitable mechanical construction with variable T-slot profiles, all essential parts of a test board are easily accessible for engineers and testers at any time. Drilled boards allow for the simple, fast and structured mounting of all components. This is how original parts can very easily be substituted by spare parts or simulations at any time – and vice versa.
From test boards for individual control units to function clusters and complete vehicle FMUs – we would be glad to advise you in accordance with your individual tasks, and engineer and design the appropriate test setup.

Functional Mock Up (FMU) – Setup For Complete Vehicle Tests
Three-dimensional test boards in vehicle size for simulations and complex networking tests with original components
In functional mock up systems, test boards are arranged three-dimensionally in the characteristic shape and size of a vehicle. In this way, up to 200 control units and original components, such as seats, steering wheel, center console, interior and exterior lighting as well as the entire wiring harness, can be tested in combination. FMUs enable high-quality flexible tests for series validation long before the test is possible within real vehicles.
