1 I/O Interface Modules for the ECU Test

An ECU has numerous I/O interfaces to which actuators and sensors can be connected. A modern and flexible test system

must operate these interfaces and acquire data during the function test. With the VT System, Vector provides a modular and

scalable test system.

1.1.1 Overview of Advantages

> All relevant test components are integrated into a single device:

> Measurement hardware with signal conditioning

> Relays e.g. for switching short-circuits

> Electronic load for actuator simulation

> Resistance decade for simulation of a sensor

> Minimal wiring effort for test setups

> Voltage range adapted to automotive applications

> Seamless integration into CANoe

1.2 Application Areas

With the VT system test systems for the function test of ECUs and vehicle networks can be assembled. CANoe is the associated

test automation software. The modular design of the VT System allows to build test solutions ranging from simple test setups

to complex test systems:

> Dedicated test systems for individual ECUs

> Universal function testers for ECUs and subsystems

> Flexible test hardware for the developer's work station

1.3 Functions

The VT System is connected to the ECU in place of the actuators or sensors. The loads and sensors are simulated by the VT

System modules. However, the signals can also be connected to the original actuators and sensors.

All components required for testing the connected ECU´s inputs or outputs are integrated into the VT System modules:

> Relays for switching various signal paths (e.g. internal or external load)

> Creation of short-circuits between the two signal lines (to ground or battery voltage)

> Simulation of loads or sensors

> Measurement unit with signal conditioning

> Connection of additional measurement and test devices via two additional bus bars

> Clearly arranged status display on the front access panel

Since all channels are connected via two wires, the system supports all relevant input and output types, even motors controlled

in the ECU via an H-bridge circuit, for instance.

The characteristic technical data of the modules like the allowed current and voltage ranges have been specially configured for

the requirements of testers in the automotive field.

1.4 Integration into CANoe

The VT System adds the following functions to the test automation features of the CANoe and vTESTstudio:

> Automatic recognition of the modules of a connected VT System

> Easy configuration via specific dialogs in CANoe

> Management of the entire VT System in CAPL and/or XML test modules, access to all measurement and stimulation

signals

> Display of measurement signals in the analysis windows (Graphics Window, Data Window), recording with the

Logging block of CANoe

1.5 PC Connection

The PC with CANoe or CANoe RT is connected via the real-time industrial Ethernet protocol EtherCAT® using 100 Mbit/s

Ethernet. The Ethernet interface available on the PC can be used.

1.6 Backplane VT8012A / VT8006A

The backplane provides the Ethernet connection for the CANoe PC and supplies the VT System modules with 12V operating

voltage. Each installed VT System module is also connected to the EtherCat® bus through the backplane. With the second

Ethernet connector, several VT System racks can be connected to bigger test systems. Vector also provides completely

assembled test racks on a project basis.

Using the VT8012A backplane, up to 12 VT System modules can be installed in a 19-inch desktop housing or in a 19-inch rack

frame (4 U).

The VT8006A backplane is the slimmer variant of the VT8012A. Mounted in a 9.5-inch desktop case, up to six VT modules can

be installed.

1.7 Setup and Wiring

The backplane takes up the lower quarter of the housing height. In the space above, the plug-in modules of the VT System are

directly accessible from the back. There the ports for connecting DUTs, original loads or sensors, and bus bars are located on

the modules.

They connect the associated wire harnesses directly to the modules. This setup keeps contact resistances low. It also enables

high currents in the load modules.

All ports are plug connections, making it easy to use different wire harnesses for different ECUs. Wire harnesses can be

manufactured without soldering, since the provided plug connectors have screw terminals.

Figure 2: The VT System modules contain all components required for the function test.

2 Load and Measurement Modules VT1004A and VT1104

The VT1004A and VT1104 modules are connected to up to 4 outputs of an ECU, which are connected to actuators such as

servo motors or lamps in real-vehicle operation mode. This module is also available as a variant (VT1004A FPGA) with user

programmable FPGA (ref. chapter 17 ).

2.1 Functions for each Channel

> Various signal paths to the original loads and bus bars are switched via relays. The relays may be used, for example,

to generate short circuits to ground or to battery voltage via a bus bar, or to break the line to an original load (broken

wire simulation).

> Relay for short circuits between the input lines

> Electronic load for predefined current or resistance with electronic overload protection

> Voltage measurement with calculation of instantaneous, average and effective values

> Determination of PWM signal parameters (frequency, duty cycle, high and low voltage levels)

Furthermore, it is possible to reverse the two-line connections of the two bus bars via relays (combined for all channels of a

module).

In each of the eight columns, the overall current and the voltage against AGND can be measured. In addition to the individual

switching of single matrix nodes, each column can be switched in PWM mode or with an encoding bitstream. With this feature,

10 Real-time Modules VT6011 and VT6051A

The two real-time modules VT6011 and VT6051A handle the execution of the real-time test and simulation part of CANoe and

drive the VT System hardware. The user’s PC is connected to the real-time module by Ethernet and does not affect the real-

time behavior of the test system.

10.1 Common Functions

> The backplane and VT6104A/VT6204 network modules are connected directly to the real-time module; no interfaces

are needed for them on the user’s PC.

> Easy to configure, no special actions necessary on the real-time module

> Separate Ethernet interface for connecting the user’s PC

> 2 USB Master Ports enable the use of further interfaces such as the VN2610 for MOST or the VN3600 for FlexRay.

10.2 VT6011 Functions

> COM Express PC module with Intel® Celeron processor

> 2 PCI Express cable ports for 2 VT6104A/VT6204 network modules

> Passively cooled

10.3 VT6051A Functions

> High-performance COM Express PC module with Intel® CoreTM i7 processor for a high number of network channels

> 4 PCI Express cable ports for 4 VT6104A/VT6204 network modules

> Active cooling

> Support of Extended Realtime. This enables additional cycle times of 500µs and 200µs for measurement signal

11 Network Module VT6104A/VT6204

The four-channel network module VT6104A/VT6204 is a high-performance interface module for the VT System. As with other

VT System modules, faults can be fed onto the signal lines. The module offers high performance and low latency times, because

a PCI Express cable is used to connect the network interface to the VT6010/VT6051A real-time module or a PC. If connected

to the PC, a PCI Express cable connector (x1) is needed. This may be added to the PC using an appropriate expansion card.

11.1 Module Features

> Network interface with four independent channels

> Each channel may be individually configured as a CAN or LIN interface

> 6204 additionally supports FlexRay on channel 1 and CAN FD resp. K-Line on all channels

> Proven, interchangeable Vector CAN/LIN/FlexRay piggies may be used as bus transceivers

> Hardware synchronization of the network interfaces with the VT System

> Relays for line breaks and short circuits between signal lines, to ground or to battery voltage

> Switchable termination resistors

> All channels can be connected by using the internal bus bar

12 Ethernet Network Module VT6306 and 100BASE-T1piggy 1101 rsp. 1000BASE-T1piggy 88Q2112

The six-channel Ethernet Network Module VT6306 is a high-performance Ethernet interface module for the VT System. The

base module provides two 100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T channels and a socket for a piggyboard with six Automotive Ethernet

channels. The piggy board modules 100BASE-T1piggy 1104 rsp. 1000BASE-T1piggy 88Q2112 carry the physical bus access

chips as well as the typical VT System fault injection capabilities like line breaks and shortcuts. The channels 1-3 of the

100BASE-T1piggy 1104 additionally provide an adjustable resistive signal attenuation. The module including the piggyboard

offers high performance and low latency times because a PCI Express cable is used to connect the network interface to the

VT6010 or VT6051A real-time module or a Vector Rack PC. If connected to the Vector Rack PC, a PCI Express cable connector

(x1) is needed. This may be added to the Vector Rack PC using an appropriate expansion card.

Hint: VT6306 cannot be operated at any PC but requires mandatorily a Vector PC, either VT6000 or a Vector Rack PC with a

suitable PCI Express adapted card.
