Powerful and Extendable: The New Variants of dSPACE MicroAutoBox II
dSPACE is launching two new variants of its rapid control prototyping platform MicroAutoBox II. Since the summer of 2010, the new-generation MicroAutoBoxes have increased computing power and standard Ethernet interfaces. The two latest additions to the family have even more powerful I/O interfaces on top of that, and one of the two also has an FPGA board for extra extension options. As of the end of 2010, all the variants of MicroAutoBox II will support live data recording (with a flight recorder) via USB mass storage devices.
InteThe FPGA board integrated into MicroAutoBox II variant 1401/1511/1512 gives users a flexibly extendable platform that they can easily adapt for their projects. dSPACE will very soon be offering extension modules that can be mounted on the FPGA board to provide I/O interfaces for current application fields such as controlling electric motors. It is already possible to implement customer-specific extensions via the dSPACE Engineering Service.
More Powerful I/O Interfaces
The I/O interfaces of the new MicroAutoBox II variants are now even more powerful, making it far easier to develop applications like cylinder pressure-based motor controls.
For example, the analog interfaces have 16-bit resolution and a sampling rate of 1 MSample/s for the precise capture of dynamic cylinder pressure signals.
There is a new bus controller for greatly enhanced performance in applications with a high volume of CAN, LIN and FlexRay bus traffic.
