Implementation Of PSI-5 Serial Sensor Interface On ADwin Real-Time Data Acquisition Systems
The PSI-5 communications interface is a 2 wire serial communications interface which is used to interface sensors to Electronic Control Units (ECU) in applications such as accelerometers for airbag systems. Promoted by major auto suppliers such as Bosch and Continental, the PSI-5 interface has been in use for more than 10 years and has shown itself to be both robust and reliable. Figure 1 shows the PSI-5 telegram definition.
LINBus Communication Card for ADwin-Pro-II Systems
The new Pro-II-LIN-2 card now available for ADwin-Pro-II systems provides convenient LIN communications capabilities that can be used to test different types of sensors, switches and other mechatronic devices in distributed automotive applications. The card, which is fully compatible with the LIN 2.1 interface standard, has 2 single wire LIN serial communications ports that can be individually configured as a master or slave with transfer rates up to 19,200 kBit/sec and stand...
Low-Cost Solutions for Chip and Board Level Tests
Depending on the complexity of analog and digital technology-based IC chips and electronic boards, there are different test solutions available for R&D and production line testing. While complex and expensive chips and boards are tested with large, sophisticated testers, more cost-effective test solutions are a necessity when testing low-cost chips and boards. A real-time system with a modular architecture such as the ADwin family of data acquisition devices makes an ideal an...
Measuring and Sending Analog Sensor Data via the CANbus
In automotive or other vehicle applications, it’s often desirable to read data from one or more sensors providing an analog voltage output and to transmit this data via the CANbus; this way it can be read along with other data being broadcast by an ECU by a single data logging device. ADwin data acquisition systems provide an ideal platform to implement a simple solution for this. These stand-alone real-time data acquisition and control systems feature analog, digital, CANbus...
