Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing

Virtual testing with simulators

Systematic Testing of Controllers
The production-ready ECU runs in a virtual environment in hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) tests. Automated test runs with extensive test scenarios detect errors systematically, preventing expensive post-production failures.

dSPACE Simulator
dSPACE addresses the entire range of HIL requirements, from single controller test systems to very large simulators for integration tests on numerous electronic control units. Deep and extensive tests on complex systems can be performed efficiently in fully automated test runs.

Advantages of Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing

• Fewer prototypes, fewer test drives, lower costs
  
• Comprehensive and systematic testing
  
• Fully automated test runs
