  • Method and device for emulating control and/or regulating functions of a control or regulating device
    Patent number: 8170860
    Abstract: A method and an emulation device for emulating control and/or regulating functions of a control or regulating unit, in particular of a motor vehicle. For emulation, the functions are swapped out into an external emulation computer, a data circuit is produced before the beginning of the emulation via a software interface of the emulation computer and a software interface of the control/regulating unit. In order to significantly accelerate the development and programming of new control/regulating functions of the control/regulating unit, the software interfaces are configured for the emulation of different control/regulating functions before the beginning of the emulation without changing the software.

  • Method and device for emulating control and/or regulating functions of a control or regulating device
    Publication number: 20030171905
    Abstract: A method and an emulation device (1) are described for emulating control and/or regulating functions of a control or regulating unit (2), in particular of a motor vehicle. For emulation, the functions are swapped out into an external emulation computer (3), a data circuit (9) being produced before the beginning of the emulation via a software interface (12) of the emulation computer (3) and a software interface (13) of the control/regulating unit (2). In order to significantly accelerate the development and programming of new control/regulating functions of the control/regulating unit (2), the software interfaces (12, 13) are configured for the emulation of different control/regulating functions before the beginning of the emulation without changing the software.
