Product background and integration into existing test setups.
Connected test setup
HiL simulation for airbag ECUs
A complete HiL simulation for an airbag ECU combines internal acceleration sensor signals via SPI with peripheral acceleration and pressure sensor signals via PSI5. The SQUIB-Loadbox measures and analyzes ignition timing. A PC system processes the data and connects to the simulators via USB or a network.
Six or more PSI5-Simulyzers are often used alongside several SPI-Simulyzers. A higher-level configuration assigns devices and signal traces and defines the bus parameters. This simplifies API operation and enables continuous monitoring of the sensor signals.
