Equipment and spare partsBrowse manufacturers Search by manufacturerETAS LABCAR rigs are hardware-in-the-loop systems for laboratory tests of automotive ECUs: a housing with I/O and load boards, a real-time simulation target and the operating software. We select the set for the specific control unit.
PCIe system housings with 16 slots for I/O, simulation and load boards. In the .2 generation the real-time PC sits below the slots.
The choice between the 4-core ES5300.2-A and the 8-core ES5301.2-A depends on the complexity of the task; the manufacturer advises asking its specialist.
A PWM and digital I/O board with 48 input and 32 output channels, each configurable as a PWM or a digital channel.
The board measures and generates signals on the card itself and passes the results to the simulation target, which lowers the load on the central processor. Its connectors attach to the ECU directly.
A PCIe arbitrary signal generator board with six channels. The board, its accessories and calibration are separate order items.
A carrier board for PB5338CURR.1-A modules that simulate wheel speed sensors with a current output. One board takes up to six modules, so up to six sensors.
Multi I/O boards for simulating an electric motor (master and slave board) and an internal combustion engine. FPGA inverter models are available for the electric motor.
The master and slave ES5340.2 boards are joined by a gigabit link, and an angle clock bus synchronizes them with other ETAS boards. The pair is installed on an ES5370.1 carrier board.
An analog I/O board with 10 galvanically isolated inputs and five groups of four outputs. Signals are acquired and generated without a common ground reference point.
The ten inputs and five output groups are galvanically isolated, so signals can be acquired and applied without a common reference point. The board is powered from the housing backplane.
Carrier boards let the ES5300 housing take modules of other formats: load boards and signal conditioning circuits. Each load family has its own carrier.
The ES5370.1 board is inserted into a housing slot and carries a PCIe board up to 312 mm long. With ES5370.1 carrier boards the angle clock bus can have up to seven participants.
A 19"/4U chassis for simulating the electric loads of an ECU: pull-up and pull-down loads up to 150 mA and electromagnetic injectors up to 20 A. Boards are exchanged to suit the task.
The module is placed between the ECU and the rig and simulates circuit failures in real time, including loose contacts. One module serves 80 ECU channels.
Before a failure is activated the module disconnects the load, so that a short circuit cannot damage rig channels or components of a real vehicle. The failure duration is set from 20 ms to 60 s.
The ES5095.1 panel brings 80 channels out to terminals with short-circuit bars for measurements and ECU connection. The ES4640 box works with the ES4408 load chassis.
The ES5385.1 is a carrier board for resistor cascade modules with 12 sockets. The ES5392.1 has six high-current channels, each working as a battery node simulation or as an independent switch.
Resistor cascades are fitted to the ES5385.1 board as modules. Separate cables control external power supplies: CBAV326.1-3 for Delta, F-00K-110-687, and CBAV327.1-3 for Toellner, F-00K-110-688.
The ES4710.1 is a built-in electrical safety and power unit for LABCAR HiL rigs, with residual current protection and an emergency stop. The ES4700.1-B distributes mains and DC voltages.
The ES4710.1 protects the user from electric shock and prevents fire caused by short circuits or overload. The ONLY SERVICE socket stays live even after an emergency stop, so it is not used during tests.
The software turns a standard PC into a high-performance simulation target: driver-vehicle-environment models run with cycle times below 0.1 ms. Hardware is connected through PCIe or Ethernet.
Models for the simulation target are prepared in Simulink and connected to external hardware; integration with the INCA calibration tool is covered in the manufacturer course.
A modular and open software for interactive tests of ECUs in the laboratory and the primary user interface of LABCAR: experiments are created and run in it. It runs on a standard PC.
The manufacturer training covers hardware and sensor configuration, real-time Simulink models, experiment scripting, CAN IO and INCA integration.
A professional compact HiL testing system: according to the manufacturer it brings the test environment closer to the developer and lets ECU testing start earlier.
The set depends on the control unit: the number and type of inputs and outputs, the loads, and whether an engine and failures must be simulated. We define the housing, the boards, the simulation target and the software; this needs the ECU designation, the signal list and the required model step size.
A rig is built from an ES5300 or ES5301 housing, I/O and load boards, carrier boards, ES5095 and ES4640 panels, the ES4710.1 power unit, the LABCAR-RTPC simulation target and the LABCAR-OPERATOR software. ETAS lists cables and accessories as separate items.
A rig can grow without replacing the housing: a signal board, a load, an engine simulation or failure simulation can be added. Compatibility depends on software versions and Hardware Service Pack firmware; we check it against ETAS documentation before the order.
ETAS publishes a user guide for every board and release notes for the software. The manufacturer runs a two-day LABCAR and LABCAR-OPERATOR course and accepts hardware repair and calibration through the RMA form.
We are not an ETAS representative. The manufacturer publishes no current public catalog of LABCAR rigs: designations and order numbers come from documentation of 2019 to 2022, software from current downloads. Prices and lead times are set at quotation; version compatibility, factory warranty and certificates are confirmed separately.
