Product Information VT System

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 18 ).

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).

9 Switch Matrix Module VT2832


The Switch Matrix Module VT2832 allows arbitrary switching of currents in a matrix with eight columns and four rows. This can be used for example to
connect different channels one by one to a measurement device. Four additional channels can be switched directly which also leads to overall eight
individually switchable channels. By the exclusive use of semiconductor switch elements, the number of switching cycles is practically unlimited.

9.1 Functions for each column

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, for example periodic switching operations or
bouncing contact simulations can be generated.

The four-channel network module VT6104B/VT6204b 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 VT6020/VT6060 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.

13 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
1101 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.
