CW-311

WHEEL SPEED SENSOR - AND WHEEL UNIT SIMULATION

The wheel speed and wheel unit simulator CW-311 simulates the tire pressure, tire temperature and wheel speed sensors used in the automotive industry. Its fields of application include HiL test environments for control units.

The CW-311 receives real-time and control data via the integrated CAN bus, from which it generates signals from wheel speed sensors and the wheel unit. It is possible to transmit simulation data from any desired source to the CW-311 via the CAN interface, for example, from an automation computer, which plays back a realistic route model.

The wheel speed information is issued via a current interface. And it is worth noting that it is possible to simulate sensors from different manufacturers. It is possible to dynamically influence diverse parameters, such as rolling direction and air gap, via the configuration interface.

The tire pressure and temperature data from the wheel unit are transmitted via a radio interface in the 433 MHz band; the transmission power is hardware configurable. The detachable pressure module automatically recognises different driving statuses from “parking” through to “travelling” via an internal finite state machine and implements the sensor protocols and data contents accordingly.

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
