VH1160
The VH1160 is a compact USB-based test hardware that automates ECU conformance tests for CAN and LIN. It is typically used by CANoe-based test implementations to automatically reset the ECU on the hardware side before each test case. Current measurement is used to determine the ECU states (sleep/wake-up). The ability to create short circuits on the network line allows you to perform simple tests on the robustness of an ECU.
VH1160 Advantage
- Easy connection via USB 2.0
- Independent switchable power supply for automotive terminals IGN, Vbatt and GND with immediate status indication by LED
- Easy sleep/wake-up monitoring of the ECU by program-controlled measurement of the current consumption
- Output voltage can be set independently of the input voltage for terminals IGN and Vbatt
- Flexible power supply optionally via standard table-top power supply or laboratory power supply
- Comfortable control from CANoe
VH1160 Application Area
To test an ECU, it must first be supplied with voltage. However, a fixed voltage supply, for example via a laboratory power supply, is not sufficient in many cases. For certain tests, terminals must be switched, an overvoltage or undervoltage be set, and possibly the current consumption measured at the same time. The tests themselves may require a time-sensitive procedure that is no longer feasible with manual operation. The VH1160 was developed for this purpose. With its convenient connection to CANoe it serves as a power supply for ECUs in automated tests and shows its strengths in LIN conformance tests and in the CANoe Test Package VAG, among others.
