Measurement System MesSy

Measurement System MesSy

The IRS MesSy II FD is a very versatile, compact, multifunctional measuring module for the parallel voltage measurement of up to 128 measuring channels.  

Digital (I/O) inputs and outputs are used to switch and control external hardware to achieve the desired data acquisition. 

Various communication interfaces such as CAN, serial interfaces, etc. enable very universal use. 

With the DAkkS calibration capability, including an adjustment option, and the high reliability, the modules offer very accurate long-term measurement results.  

A recalibration process can be easily integrated and is maintenance-friendly.   

And all this at an unbeatable price and without software license costs!

Requirements for Lifetime and Durability Validation Tests

Electronic control units for automotive applications require comprehensive validation to ensure that the device operates properly over the years under harsh environmental conditions. During validation, the inputs and outputs of the device under test (DUT) must be stimulated and the operation continuously monitored. IRS offers lifetime testing systems to simulate the required components of the vehicle. Our lifetime testing system has been designed to meet the following requirements: 

  • Simulation of real load conditions 

  • Diagnostics via CAN, LIN, FlexRay 

  • Independent parallel operation of multiple DUTs 

  • Continuous monitoring of all signals 

  • Standardized hardware and software platform 


Lifetime Simulation Test

To meet the requirements, a measurement system is required that covers the following functionalities: 

  • Monitoring multiple analog inputs

    • for all inputs and outputs of the control unit

    • parallel

    • continuously

  • CAN communication

    • Rest bus simulation

    • ISO-TP diagnostics

    • Implementation of custom protocols


  • Input stimulation

    • Digital and analog

    • Static and dynamic


  • Monitoring of supply current

    • especially sleep current of a few µA

    • fast switch to high current measurement upon waking


Hardware

  • 128 analog inputs 

    • 96 single-ended 0-32V 

      • 125kS/s simultaneously 

      • 1MS/s for one channel (of 8) 

    • 32 differential ±48V 

      • 125kS/s simultaneously 

      • 1MS/s for one channel (of 8) 

  • Digital outputs

    • via small signal relays

      • 16 SPST

      • 48 SPST

    • Semiconductor low-side switches

      • 24 x for PWM generation up to 500kHz 

      • 16 x for generic drivers 

    • General-purpose I/Os

      • 16x configurable input/output 

  • 10 CAN interfaces 

  • 25 serial interfaces (for LIN) 


Software

  • LabVIEW-based design for easy integration into NI TestStand 

  • Background signal monitoring without PC processing power 

  • Continuous streaming of  

    • Analog, CAN, and LIN data  

    • with adjustable filtering to reduce file size 

  • Crash recorder to store the "ring buffer" of the last seconds leading up to a failure
