Rapid Control Prototyping

Driver AID

• Easy-to-use and easy-to-configure host interface
• Data acquisition
• Configurable logger functions (MEMO, post-mortem, etc.)
• Actuators management and feedback control (clutch, gearbox, brakes, etc)
• Limit values monitoring and alarms management
• User defined variables, based on algebraic operations on input/costants
• Automatic test management
• Graphical representation of acquired variables 
• Signals plausibility assessmen
• Interface support with external measurement devices
• Possibility of developing ad hoc functionalities, even if not defined in the initial specification requirements 

ECU full-pass

• FormulaSAE & tractor pulling ECUs developed on National Instrument platforms
• The control system is designed starting from a white sheet
• Base control algorithms (AFR control) and advanced  functions (traction control, water injection) developed in LabVIEW RT/FPGA
• Control the entire vehicle (engine and vehicle strategies + vehicle sensor data) with a single ECU thanks to FPGA's high frequency loop execution, NI's modularity and flexibility
• High level signal elaboration with Real-Time module
• Calibration/telemetry interfaces accessible from host-pc
