The Leader in Key Technologies

As a clear source of inspiration, Softing does not just follow important associations and standardization committees is new technological developments. The company‘s aspirations extremely help­ful. This means that we incorporate standards are far more directed at proactively developing trends and at an early stage of product development and often implement technologies in its core areas of expertise (diagnostics, them parallel to the specification phase. An advantage in terms measure­ment, testing). Alongside trusting collaboration with of time, cost and expertise that we are more than happy to pass the sector´s innovation drivers, our active participation in all on to our customers.

PROGRAMMING INTERFACES PROTOCOLS Often, the areas of application described are also required in The basis of most ECU functions is communication. And for tools and test systems that originally had a completely different communication to work, it needs a set of rules: protocols. It focus. We ensure access to Softing expertise in these cases is irrelevant whether an exchange is taking place between by providing relevant functions via APIs. In addition to the ECUs or between a tester and an ECU.

Incidentally: Communication between systems, for example between main­ frames and test systems, is also one of Softing‘s domains. EXCHANGE FORMATS Regardless of whether a customer implements the entire Softing tool suite or uses a subset, the reusability of configu­ rations and results is always the basis of fruitful collaboration and predictable project costs.

11 ELECTRICAL DRIVING Whether partial electrification, as is the case in a hybrid vehicle, or pure electric drive: New challenges are going to have to be mastered. In Testing, this initially concerns safety requirements for the high-voltage area. But both in Testing and Diagnostics, entirely new components such as the electric engine and the battery are going to have to be processed. Overall functions are gradually being spread over several components: Take the brake for example which consists of a mechanical and electric brake (recuperation) and which has to be taken into con­ sideration as a whole.

Using DTS.monaco

Softing DTS.monaco is used in numerous engineering departments all over the world to take care of diagnostic tasks. The range of ODX and expert application cases extends through ECU release to the commissioning of HiL systems and test benches. The tool is also regularly used for updating and validating vehicles during on-road tests.

TESTING AND DEBUGGING THE ESTABLISHING OF TESTER ECU COMMUNICATION Regardless of the integration level of software and ECUs, com­ munication problems along the OSI communication layers result in specific challenges for diagnostic experts. These problems are critical for the remaining life cycle of the vehicle because, for example, in manufacturing, this behavior can lead to delays in or an entire absence of vehicle programming. The debugging of this kind of defective communication behavior thus necessitates an interface which both sends out services and jobs individually or cyclically to the test system and interprets information from off- board communication in detail and records on-board messages. The complexity of this kind of analysis is growing increasingly in the latest E/E architectures and their security measures against undesired external tampering attempts. Softing DTS.monaco ▲ Fig.: Testing Diagnostic Communication is always up to date here and reliably supports corresponding protocols and mechanisms. This is supported in particular by the status of the connection and the representation of the relevant control units “Diagnostic Service”, “Symbolic Trace”, “Bus Trace” services and bus communication. The DoIP monitor integrated in as well as the “Logical Link List” with reliable information on the the new DTS9 generation is particularly helpful in this respect! DIAGNOSTICS

VALIDATING ECU OR FUNCTIONAL DIAGNOSTIC SPECIFICATION (EXAMPLE ISO 15031) During the life cycle of an ECU/vehicle, various diagnostic ser­ vices and functions specified by the OEM or legislator have to be supported. Softing DTS.monaco can be used for a first step in this partly approval-relevant validation. With the “Diagnostic Service” control (see figure above), it is possible to test the re­ levant services and responses for their correct implementation in detail in the diagnostic database (ODX 2.0.1 or ODX 2.2). The tool also offers a special control unit with underlying ISO-com­ patible database for OBD validation. Here it is possible to reli­ ably test the different modes and functional command groups of the OBD specification. No expert knowledge is necessary for this as the procedure is determined by the user interface. This simplification means that a result can be quickly and efficiently 25 determined with the HiL system or vehicle.

IDENTIFYING AND TESTING ERRORS WITH DOCUMENTATION The identification of a test unit as well as the reading out of the ▲ Fig.: OBD Diagnostics error memory are activities which are repeated throughout the product life cycle. Regardless of whether HiL, test bench or vehicle – the versions as well as any error memory entries which might occur must be acquired and documented in every test sequence. The most important aspect here is a simple and intuitive ope­ ration as well as reliable documentation (in part with a direct central link to IT systems). This kind of identification and error report can be generated and stored by Softing DTS.monaco. An XML file format for reports is expedient here. This is supported in particular by the control units “ECU Identification”, “DTC” and “Tool Quicktest”.

VISUALIZING MEASUREMENTS AND ACTUATOR INTERACTION ▲ Fig.: ECU Quick Text The visually meaningful representation of measurement parame­ ters and their thresholds is necessary particularly at the test bench and in vehicle validation. Softing DTS.monaco helps visualize various states regardless of whether a NOx sensor has to fulfill its values within a certain time or if it has to be indicated that pres­ sure or temperature has reached a threshold value. Corresponding services and parameters can be configured for this in a data server and reused. Naturally interaction with actuators is also possible. To ensure this is all documented, Softing DTS.monaco contains a recorder which records and can reproduce data reliably.

UPDATING ECUS – FLASH PROGRAMMING ECU and vehicle updating is an important application area ▲ Fig.: Graphical Instruments for Softing DTS.monaco, as an accompanying measure in the engineering process to validate various software versions, but also to prepare the automated flash procedure for manufac­ turing and after-sales service. The compatibility to all kinds of methods and file formats is just as important here as simple and reliable operation. A process usually consists of several sub- steps as well as an initialization routine – now often additionally safeguarded with the Seed & Key procedure. Naturally, with its “flash” control element and numerous configuration possibilities, Softing DTS.monaco offers sufficient flexibility to be able to support complex procedures. In other words: ODX-D + Flash Job (with reference in ODX-F), External Flash Files (HEX, MOT, BIN, S3 and S19), Flash Sequences, Security Access, Late- bound Flash Files, Flash Files > 4GB (“64-bit Flashing”), among others, are supported. ▲ Fig.: Flash Programming DIAGNOSTICS

PROJECT MANAGEMENT All files belonging to a measurement test are compiled into projects within the application. This includes hardware and software configu­ rations as well as external resources in the form of characteristic maps, simulation models, scripts and ECU descriptions.

Flexible export and import functions facilitate the consistent trans­ mission of projects to a range of devices and also enable the copying of parameter sets between different measurement tests.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION Softing PEA is responsible for the parameterization of all connected hardware components. The software supports the Softing product 44 family SMT and various modules from third-party suppliers.

Various convenient functions reduce the effort involved in configu­ ration. This is how, for example, lists of transducers and measuring points can be imported, communication descriptions integrated and measurement channels parametrized using electronic transducer memories.

TRIGGERING Along with the possibilities offered by conventional measuring systems (such as, for example, edge- and level-based triggers), the application also offers additional events. This is how, for example, timers can be evaluated and channels monitored for activity, inactivity or status violations.

Furthermore intelligent state machines, which satisfy even the most demanding of requirements of measurement sequence control, can be generated using freely definable, logical links.

DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING The measuring software‘s high-performance arithmetic library enables mathematical post-processing of acquired data currents as well as specific online evaluation of physical variables.

Among other things there is a formula editor for calculating arith­- metic and logical operations, a range of different filter elements, para­meter­iz­able controllers, characteristic map, integrators and differentiators as well as statistical evaluations using classification procedures. All operations are run in real time, synchronized with data acquisition. MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY

DATA RECORDING The channels are recorded using an integrated data recorder. This can be both operated manually and controlled by events. Longer measuring cycles can be divided into phases; useful additional functions are available for series of measurements.

In addition the recorder makes it possible to assign extensive metadata to measurement records thus ensuring optimal documentation of the measurement chain.

ONLINE VISUALIZATION The Softing PEA visualization elements enable a live representation of acquired measured data. The interfaces can be designed and the displays linked with the relevant data sources at the click of a mouse. 45 No knowledge of programming is required.

If required, the visualizations used can be scaled, marked in colors and with images as well as ordered in thematic groups. This means the display is always guaranteed to be very clear with highlighting of significant physical variables and system states.

PLUG-INS By using plug-ins, special, application-specific functions can be added to the measuring software. Measured data in plug-ins can continue to be processed and plug-in output can be incorporated into regular data logging.

Plug-ins can be used in all kinds of use scenarios, such as the integra­ tion of additional device drivers, the implementation of special data con­verters and the embedding of MATLAB/Simulink models.

SCRIPTING The script interpreter integrated in Softing PEA is a further add-on. The simple, C-similar syntax of the free script language Lua makes for a short famil­iarization period as well as resource-friendly execution.

This means complex logical links, procedural sequences, state machines and reactive residual bus simulation to name but a few can be defined and run in Lua scripts. MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY

LICENSED MODEL The software function scope can be tailored to suit the particular scaling. These are always individual licenses and, depending on application. Both for technical and functional reasons, there are the hardware used, linked to a USB dongle (standard PC) or a number of partial license options which help ensure perfect measuring computer (SMT system).

BREADBOARD ASSEMBLY EXAMPLE Test boards for CAN Mobile GT3-CUP and RSR (Porsche).

The original components such as cable harness, ECUs and real loads (lighting,...) work, as they do in the vehicle, as a combined and structured test board.

Measurements (e.g. vehicle buses) can also be made by using additional breakout boxes. Extensive tests and further develop­ ments, such as the checking of current software versions, can take place outside the vehicle and be verified at an early stage.

This method is extremely efficient, interoperable and construc­ tive, particularly when resources are scarce (e.g. racing car).

Based on long years of experience, Softing offers a wide range of solutions for the qualification of vehicle components – from flexible engineering systems to fully automated systems for manufacturing and quality assurance. The most recent 56 example is a development test bench for power windows.

▲ Fig.: Power-Window Test Bench TESTING CheckRack The solutions of our CheckRack series enable the automated testing of electronic components. Specific requirements of test processes and test sequences can be adapted to suit the particular needs.

THE CHECKRACK SERIES IS AVAILABLE IN THREE DIFFERENT DESIGNS:

CheckRack XL A test system for lots of different electronic modules. CheckRack XL makes it possible to test different specimens using one test system. The point of this development was to concentrate lots of different verification and test solutions at one site with one system hardware.

CheckRack A test system that is tailored exactly to suit your module or module family. This alternative is, on the one hand, very specific and focused but, on the other, can be made very attractive in terms of price.

CheckRack CM This is the CheckRack custom made and represents the highest form of customization. This is the tailor-made solution to suit your individual task, always with the greatest possible degree of standardization thanks to the use of time tested modules and components.
