The EPB/EMB Trolley features an integrated control system based on National Instruments cRIO real-time units and CAN/CAN FD interface, enabling full customization of operational parameters.
- Variable power supply: simulates vehicle battery conditions with adjustable voltage (0-120V) and current (up to 200A).
- DC motor control: direct management with polarity reversal (H bridge) and energy absorption for regeneration simulation.
- Integrated sensors: real-time monitoring via strain gauges, load cells, and other sensors.
- CAN compatibility: supports custom CAN protocols (DBC) for integration with customer brake ECUs.
Three primary modes ensure adaptability to diverse testing needs:
- Manual Mode: direct control for initialization, diagnostics, and targeted tests. Operators can send CAN commands and monitor parameters in real time.
- Semi-Automatic Mode: step-by-step execution of predefined sequences for repeatable testing.
- Automatic Mode: full integration with test benches. The system synchronizes with bench commands (e.g., clamping force, torque) and logs data for detailed analysis.
- Dynamic tests: stops with constant force or PID-modulated torque/deceleration.
- Static tests: torque ramps with timed or angular re-application.
- Vehicle simulation: dynamic voltage adjustments to replicate real-world conditions (e.g., regeneration during braking).
- Durability testing: repeated apply/release cycles for long-term reliability assessment.
- Precision: real-time control of clamping force and torque, with high-resolution sensor feedback.
- Flexibility: compatible with various EMB/EPB brakes and CAN configurations.
- Integration: direct connection to existing test benches (e.g., TecSA dynamometers) and data acquisition systems.
- Efficiency: optimized energy use and advanced real-condition simulation.
