ECU & Engine HILS
Ideal platform for large-scale HILS systems and integrated HILS systems. If you’re looking for a HIL system (hardware in the loop testing), look no further than HELIOS by A&D.
Real-Time Simulation and Hardware-in-the-Loop with HELIOS HILS
Ideal platform for large-scale Hardware in the loop systems and integrated HILS systems
Vehicle systems are becoming more complex due to vehicle electrification, ADAS, and automated driving. For control development/verification, HILS corresponding to large-scale operations that use complex operations and third-party modeling tools for each functionality is needed. For example powertrain HILS (engine, transmission, battery, etc.) and Body Integrated HILS (such as system HILS/vehicle environment/weather environment/steering stability) working as one system is required.
A & D provides a highly scalable HILS platform for linking multiple CPUs and multiple chassis.
The control I/O board is equipped with fail circuits on-board, and no external board is required for fault simulation.
All I/O boards are equipped with a self-diagnostics function as a standard. If a problem occurs during the self-diagnostics test, the user can isolate the cause. It can also be used for pre-use inspection.
The system has an operation time monitor function and can monitor software operation time and power-on time. It can be used to manage the HILS equipment operation time.
- CPU with powerful computing performance
- Distributed computation with core partitioning and multi-nodes
- Fast inter-node communication, low latency model synchronization
- High scalability
- Many options that enable the creation of a test environment in a short period of time
- All-in-one design with integrated I/O and I/F for compact and low price
- Integrated software platform with A&D test bench software (iTest)
- Flexible configuration based on needs of system from small to large scale
- I/O board lineupSelf-diagnostic and fail functions are standard on each board
| Board name | Function |
| ENG-IO | Simulate crank and cam signals Rotation synchronization signals (INJ / IGN / knock, etc.) measurement / output |
| ACT-IO | Voltage / current measurement for solenoids, DC motors, etc. |
| SENSOR-IO | Analog input/output Analog voltage simulation/measurement for sensors, etc. |
| PLS-IO | Pulse input/output Simulation/measurement of various switches, pulse output sensors, etc. (Duty cycle / On-Off / Solenoid measurement) |
| COM-IO* | CAN / CAN FD / LIN / K-LINE / RS-232C |
