DETROIT, March 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovations in electronics technology for
engineering development processes are being demonstrated at the 2002 SAE
World Congress and Exposition, March 4-7 by dSPACE, a German-based high-
technology company with North American headquarters in Novi, Michigan.
A market leader and innovator in solutions and systems for development of
embedded electronic controllers, dSPACE provides hardware, software and
engineering support services for controller testing, prototyping control
algorithms, and automatic production code generation. In its SAE exhibit at
booth #2601, the company will have six demonstrations on the dSPACE product
line in various applications:
1. Virtual Vehicle Dynamics Simulator is a new system test simulator that
combines standard, off-the-shelf hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulators to
enable simultaneous testing of engine, transmission, and vehicle stability
systems' electronic controllers and their interactions. The new simulator
features dSPACE's just-released real-time 3D animation software tool,
MotionDesk.
2. dSPACE's Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) uses the company's DS1103
single board solution to control an AC induction motor.
3. TargetLink is an automatic and highly efficient production code
generation software tool that reduces the overall software development cycle
for Electronic Control Units (ECUs).
4. MicroAutoBox is a real-time in-vehicle hardware concept that performs
fast, functional prototyping of control software with bypass technology
illustrating new development in conjunction with an existing ECU.
5. Hardware-in-the-loop simulation for testing ECUs: A turn-key dSPACE
HIL simulator to validate an engine ECU.
6. ControlDesk streamlines software development processes interfaces not
only with dSPACE's hardware platforms but also simulations in MATLAB. By
using a common user interface, dSPACE's ControlDesk helps reduce the effort in
translating between development stages.
"dSPACE provides an optimal mix of standard solutions and customer-
specific engineering," said Kevin Kott, president of dSPACE, Inc. "We can
revolutionize development processes with real-time systems for controller
prototyping, automatic production code generation, and virtual system tests."
dSPACE is a market innovator and leading producer of engineering tools for
embedded controller development and testing. It provides integrated hardware
and software for prototyping control algorithms, automatic generation of
production code, controller testing, and engineering support services. dSPACE
systems enable manufacturers of controllers and ECUs to dramatically reduce
their development times and costs to noticeably increase product quality.
Founded in 1988, dSPACE has its headquarters in Paderborn, Germany, and
engineering project centers in Munich and Stuttgart, Germany. In addition to
its Novi, Michigan subsidiary, the company also has locations in Europe,
Australia, Japan, India, Israel, Korea and Taiwan. Today, more than 7,000
dSPACE systems are in use worldwide, serving customers in the automotive,
aerospace, agricultural, educational, engineering, robotics and noise &
vibration industries. More information is available on the Internet at
