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 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 VT8012 / VT8006

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 VT8012 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 VT8006 backplane is the slimmer variant of the VT8012. 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 Module VT1004A

The VT1004A module is 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 14 ).

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

The module VT2710 enables the test of serial communication between an ECU and one or several digital sensors. Either

the ECU or the sensors can be simulated. Tracing of the communication between real ECU and real sensors is possible as

10 Network Module VT6104/VT6204

The four-channel network module VT6104/VT6204 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 VT6010/VT6051A 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.

10.1 Module Features

> Network interface with four independent channels

> Each channel may be individually configured as a CAN or LIN interface

> 6204 additionally supports FlexRay on channel 1 and CAN FD resp. K-Line on all channels

> Proven, interchangeable Vector CAN/LIN/FlexRay piggies may be used as bus transceivers

> Hardware synchronization of the network interfaces with the VT System

> Relays for line breaks and short circuits between signal lines, to ground or to battery voltage

> Switchable termination resistors

> All channels can be connected by using the internal bus bar

11 Power Supply Module VT7001A

The VT7001A module can be used to control up to 2 power supply inputs of an ECU (e.g. terminals 15 and 30). As an

alternative, 2 ECUs may be supplied separately, e.g. for testing differences in voltage supplies.


> 2 external power supplies can be connected

> Internal power supply generates voltage for the ECU from the VT System power supply

> 2 external and 1 internal power supplies may be connected to the 2 outputs to the ECU in various combinations

> Ground lines of outputs can be interrupted (line break of terminal 31)

> Relays for producing short circuits between the output lines

> Measurement of output currents over a very wide range

> Measurement of input and output voltages

> Control of two external power supplies via control voltage or via electrically decoupled serial interfaces

> Generation of arbitrary control voltage curve

> Serial interface for driving an external display

> Hardware synchronization with Vector network interfaces

> The module supplies ground and battery voltage to the bus bars at additional pins
