Mx-Sim™ Virtual ECU Development on a PC

Validation of closed-loop algorithms and multi-ECU real-time systems challenges developers and testers. HIL test hardware is often scarce and costs are often prohibitive.

MicroMax’s Mx-Sim™ changes that by turning your PC into a simulation workstation for system development and testing. Mx-Sim is a virtual system development tool for multiple ECU implementations. With its simulated I/O and vehicle bus, you can simultaneously verify correct operation of multiple ECUs. Because Mx-Sim supports preemptive real-time operation, you can run your simulations at full speed. And because Mx-Technology™ is used, the test cases you develop during early phases of development can be used with your HIL system without the aggravation of rewriting them. And, of course, Mx-Sim supports any model-based development tool.

Configurations

Virtual ECU: Fully prove your ECU algorithm functionality with open-loop testing.

Virtual HIL: Fully prove your ECU algorithm in a closed-loop environment using real-time simulation. Calibrate the system using standard CAN/LIN tools.

Real HIL: With Mx-VDev™ transforms, you use the same test cases with your HIL equipment that you created with your virtual simulations.

Simplify your life and take the hassle out of developing powertrain, body electronics, active/ passive safety, or other mechatronics systems. Call us today for a demonstration of Mx-Sim™ Virtual ECU Development on a PC.

Mx-Sim Benefits

Mx-Sim™ Advantages

Powerful Virtual HIL tester: Accelerate your testing of applications and device drivers, as well as automatically execute your integration and system tests.

Virtual bus interface: This interface connects multiple ECU implementations with the plant implementation. You can fully test without additional HIL hardware

Real-time, preemptive scheduling: Preemptive interrupt behavior is synchronized using Mx Sim’s time processing unit emulation. You can run at full speed.

A single test tool: Your design, development, and implementation can be tested with a single tool.

Leverage your development tests: Since MicroMax’s Mx-Technology™ is used, you can complete software design verification even before integration with the electronics, and provide your HIL validation team with proven, reusable test cases.
