The components must therefore be able to handle all conceivable faults. For the test, these faults are simulated on the ECU pin and the respective behavior and diagnostic entry documented. Typically, such fault simulations are used for function tests during development, for testing, release and validation of ECUs and components, as well as for integration validation during HiL testing or at the Functional Mock-Up (FMU). https://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/pole-position-with-the-telematics-gateway-xtcu.htmlhttps://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/pole-position-with-the-telematics-gateway-xtcu.html#commentsFri, 21 May 2021 15:50:00 +0200https://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/pole-position-with-the-telematics-gateway-xtcu.htmlWith the xTCU telematics gateway from Globalmatix in combination with Memotec measurement technology – comprehensive information everywhere in real time. In racing, it is often just tiny details that make the difference between victory and defeat. In addition to the driver’s skill, it also depends on the racing team having the appropriate expertise. Among other things, data acquisition and measurement technology is installed in the vehicle in order to constantly monitor and ultimately optimize it. https://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/mastering-test-complexitiy-with-individual-test-systems-by-softing.htmlhttps://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/mastering-test-complexitiy-with-individual-test-systems-by-softing.html#commentsMon, 17 May 2021 12:23:00 +0200Marion Menacherhttps://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/mastering-test-complexitiy-with-individual-test-systems-by-softing.htmlIt is a long journey from the start of engineering to the installation of all vehicle components and ECUs in the production vehicle. Comprehensive testing of the electronic components during the entire engineering process is essential. This is the only way to thoroughly safeguard and optimize hardware and software functions. Errors can be detected and remedied quickly – the earlier the better. https://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/sovd-the-diagnostic-standard-of-tomorrow.htmlhttps://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/sovd-the-diagnostic-standard-of-tomorrow.html#commentsTue, 11 May 2021 13:42:00 +0200https://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/sovd-the-diagnostic-standard-of-tomorrow.htmlDue to current megatrends such as autonomous driving, significantly higher computing power is required in the vehicle than can be provided by today's ECUs. Consequently high-performance computers (HPCs) are being installed in the vehicle to implement both centralized control and diagnostic functions. Standardization of the interface is therefore an obvious step, and is currently being carried out in ASAM e.V. under the name SOVD (Service Oriented Vehicle Diagnostics).
