Patent number: 10860467Abstract: A configuration system for a test device designed for testing an electronic control unit. The test device is a hardware-in-the-loop simulator or a rapid control prototyping simulator, wherein a software model of a technical system is executed on the test device and the software model communicates electronically via an input/output interface of the test device with a system to be tested that is connected to the test device. Simulation data is electronically transmitted by the communication, and the configuration system is coupled to a modeling system and in the modeling system is a software model characterized by transversely and longitudinally connected function blocks. The configuration system configures the test device by interconnected configuration items such that the configuration items determine the physical characteristics of the input/output interface and/or the connection of the input/output interface with the software model.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2020Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: dSPACE digital signal processing and control engineering GmbHInventors: Joerg Hagendorf, Martin Kronmueller

Patent number: 9727044Abstract: A method for supporting a configuration of an interface is provided, wherein the configuration environment has an overview region that has several subregions. At least one item of information concerning a part of the configuration is displayed in each subregion. For each subregion, an item of information concerning the part of the configuration associated with the subregion is displayed. In the case of a warning and/or error message, a configuration option is displayed so as to be selectable, via which the warning/error message is resolved. The selection of the displayed configuration option causes a functionality to be started via which the displayed configuration option is made possible. In the case of a change in the status of a subregion, the display of the status and/or warning and/or error message and a configuration option derived therefrom in one subregion or several subregions is automatically updated and adapted to the changed status.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2012Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: dSPACE digital signal processing and control engineering GmbHInventors: Lars Grosse, Martin Kronmueller, Holger Naundorf, Matthias Schwarz

Publication number: 20160203244Abstract: A computer-based system and method for assigning at least one signal of a symbol-based program to at least one I/O functionality of a target hardware unit is provided. A modeling tool has a symbol-based program with the signal that is to be assigned. The signal to be assigned of the symbol-based program and the at least one I/O functionality of the target hardware unit are specified in a configuration tool. Using the modeling tool, an I/O functionality of the target hardware unit is assigned in the symbol-based program to the signal that is to be assigned. A signal assignment information item is generated in the modeling tool from this assignment. The signal assignment information item is transmitted from the modeling tool to the configuration tool, and the configuration tool takes over the assignment to the I/O functionality of the target hardware unit of the signal to be assigned of the symbol-based program according to the signal assignment information item.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2015Publication date: July 14, 2016Applicant: dSPACE digital signal processing and control engineering GmbHInventors: Frank MERTENS, Dirk BERNECK, Martin KRONMUELLER, Sebastian SCHULTE, Henrik SUNDER, Frank SCHUETTE
