SCALEXIO Essential - Performance Meets Cost Efficiency
SCALEXIO Essential is designed for engineers and developers working on cutting-edge mechatronic systems. This rack-mounted platform delivers flexibility, performance, and integration capabilities.
What is SCALEXIO Essential?
SCALEXIO Essential is a HIL system developed for testing and validating classic edge ECUs in the automotive sector. Additionally, the new system design is also suitable for other industries such as off-highway applications in agriculture or construction machinery, for example. SCALEXIO Essential is available with a full-featured software package. The system design offers you all the essential functions you need to quickly set up your basic HIL application.
With a powerful quad-core processor and freely programmable FPGAs, SCALEXIO Essential can be flexibly used for the development and validation of electronic control units. It has a large number of bus and network interfaces in combination with analog and digital connections as well as resistance simulation, relay channels, and current measurement channels. Since it is operated using the familiar dSPACE software tool chain, a seamless transition to other dSPACE systems is possible without any problems.
