We'll take a look at the most relevant requirements of DAQ systems by comparing and discussing different implementation concepts, with a focus on the role of the PC, modularity, and spatially distributed topologies. Flexibility is a key factor in choosing the right measurement equipment, and we'll introduce the most recent development from imc. So, whether you're new to DAQ or just want to brush up on your knowledge, come join us for this informative session!

As newer batteries with more capacity and higher charging requirements are introduced testing facilities are faced with making significant investments in new equipment to meet the power requirements of next generation batteries. A&D has introduced a system, which will allow current generation cycler to be dynamically combined on-demand to support higher charging/discharging currents. This presentation will explain the hardware and software components of such a system.

AV/ADAS development effort generates huge amount of data that needs to be analyzed according to applicable regulations such as UN157, ISO34500 etc. The scenario-based testing methodology means that relevant scenarios and KPI's need to be extracted from data for use with accurate Digital Twins. Robustness and accuracy of the digital twin for the vehicle, system and the environment extracted from real data is another critical element necessary for V&V as part of a structured methodology.

This presentation gives an introduction to the latest developments in power analyzers by utilizing a new and distributed approach to power measurements. This distributed approach is achieved by utilizing remote satellites for voltage and current measurement, which are linked to a base unit with fiber-optic cables only. This new generation power analyzer will enable you to do powertrain efficiency measurements faster, without EMC distorting the results, and remaining absolutely safe.

Understanding the external sensor stimulation technology for ViL and the technology’s significance can provide independent evaluation for sensor and connectivity performance. To ensure fidelity of the sensors and connectivity, EMC/EMI tests provide a definitive evaluation of the vehicle components in their working environments. Combining EMC/EMI tests with sensor and antenna tests for vehicle level performance tests offers a new range of test capability for vehicle and ADAS/AD functions.

EVs have successfully established a significant presence in the market. Automotive OEMs and Tier suppliers are heavily investing in this emerging powertrain technology. At the heart of EVs’ future success lies battery technology, which plays a crucial role in determining their power and efficiency. This presentation provides a high-level overview and testing requirements of high-voltage batteries.

The STRIDE Robotic Platform allows the user to perform ADAS testing quickly, simply, and effectively, while also enabling testing which is outside the scope of other robotic platforms. In addition to detailing the features and capability of the platform, this presentation will also present some detail regarding the open-source programming and method by which non-traditional test cases such as curved vehicle trajectories, hill-climbing, and more can be performed.

Industry leaders, Vector Infomatik and CSM, have partnered to provide a comprehensive offering of measurement hardware, network interfaces, ECU communications, and analysis software known as The Vector-CSM eMobility Measurement System. This synergistic system combines data from physical sensors such as thermocouples, accelerometers, voltage and current measurements with Vector's industry leading network and ECU interfaces to DAQ computer(s) for real time analysis of power and efficiency.

Electric Vehicles are no longer a curiosity…they are here and now! But where does the field of Noise and Vibration Harshness (NVH) fit in the world of EV's? With less sources of noise and vibration OEMs and suppliers need to rethink how to use this new 'quiet cabin' to enhance experience of those inside the vehicle. This rethink presents great opportunities for the industry to dream big and deploy new ideas.

At TÜV SÜD, we are committed to delivering the highest quality and performance in our EV battery and system solutions. We recognize the importance of safety and reliability in these systems through product development and validation, and that's why we used the combined experience from our North America, European, and Asian battery labs to develop the most capable independent battery test lab in North America. We recently opened our state of the art testing lab in Auburn Hills.

There are many variables associated with testing, most of which we need to account for and accommodate, it is likely that those very variables have led us to the need to test. However, there is a variable which we influence simply by being there. That variable is operator behaviour. When we are present we unintentionally influence the outcome because the operator, more often than not, will behave differently simply because they are aware they are being observed. How can we remove that variable?

Product design and validation require multiple rounds of testing with different levels of accuracy. When transitioning from simulation or software in the loop (SIL) to hardware in the loop (HIL), one must consider many factors that will greatly impact the testing. One of the biggest challenge to obtain reliability and repeatability resides in the determinism of every component of the system. Selecting proper hardware along with the right control strategy will greatly your costs and schedule.

Being intentional about identifying real failure modes is an effective use of product development resources. For vibration testing, this means measuring the right data and analyzing it to correlate an accelerated test or virtual twin to a known amount of usage. With the tools and know-how, using acquired data to arrive at an appropriate vibration test profile is achievable. This presentation will demonstrate how VR hardware and software deliver test profiles with field-representative results.

This presentation brings an opportunity to review new measurement system for determination of center of gravity (CG) on vehicle seats. In certain seat testing process, CG is required to be known. Using the CG information, setup of seat durability testing can be determined with following industrial regulation e.g. FMVSS210. Kyowa has developed new 3D seat gravity test system to provide automated CG determination process and more consistency of test results than conventional test method.

Discussion of trends and innovations as it relates to the testing of electric vehicle systems, subsystems and components.

We will present a streamlined xEV powertrain controller development environment comprising  AURIX (TM) based controllers with ultra-high fidelity Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) real-time simulation. In this session, we will introduce system modeling basics for HIL simulations and present a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive unit with Infineon microcontroller and Typhoon HIL simulator, with a focus on signal level ECU testing and fault injection.
