Combustion Engines

Description

With dSPACE systems, you can either develop and prototype new control strategies for internal combustion engines or test single or several networked engine ECUs together in a HIL setup. dSPACE real-time systems therefore provide the necessary automotive bus- and engine-specific I/O interfaces, such as crank, cam, lambda, and knock sensors, and are capable of generating or simulating signals for injection and ignition. Crank and cam signals are processed with a 0.1° resolution, which enables very precise control and test strategies. In addition, cylinder-pressure-based control development is supported with very fast analog input channels. By using FPGA resources, it is even possible to implement extremely fast control loops with an in-cycle response, which enables control design for CAI or HCCI strategies.
