Germany-based dSPACE, a provider of automotive simulation and validation systems, is expanding its SCALEXIO real-time platform for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) applications by adding the new SCALEXIO FSX product line.

SCALEXIO HIL systems are designed to validate real-time applications in the automotive, aerospace and industrial sectors. SCALEXIO FSX completes the SCALEXIO product family and enables improved electrical fault injection, signal conditioning and customized extensions.

The FSX’s modular architecture allows the simple construction of scalable test solutions and shortens project-specific adaptations of the HIL system in the field. The systems are designed to be easy to handle, enabling users to implement hardware modifications and extensions themselves.

The software also has a modular structure. The FSX extension is configured using the External Device Editor and the system and controls are accessed via the ASAM-XIL API standard. The External Device Editor can be used to define pin assignments and the cable harness required for connecting control units and other external devices.

“With SCALEXIO FSX, we are increasing the flexibility of our HIL offering and responding to current challenges in the context of highly dynamic development projects,” explains Christian Wördehoff, Lead Business Field Manager HIL Testing at dSPACE.
