OpenECU

Field-ready electronic control units (ECUs) with truly open Simulink application-independent development environment

Highlights

  • ECUs for use in applications ranging from rapid prototyping to volume production systems
  • No proprietary blocks required in the application development layer of software - uses 100% native Simulink® or C-API

  • Applications are portable between ECUs - can go to production with OpenECU or customer specific hardware
  • Supports commercially available calibration tools through CCP, including Pi Innovo calibration tool
  • Onboard conditioning circuitry connects directly to automotive I/O sensors and actuators
  • Complete engine control strategies as Simulink subsystems available

Description

The OpenECU™ family of field-ready electronic control units (ECUs) from Pi Innovo offers an open platform to rapidly develop robust control system solutions for engine, powertrain, chassis, and other applications. This system offers all the advantages of traditional rapid prototyping, but with an open development environment that allows the use of native Simulink models from prototype to production using hardware that meets full-production environmental and packaging requirements.

The code generator automatically produces royalty-free C code from Simulink models. The build process, from the user issuing a "Build" command to the generation of an executable object, is completely automated. The OpenECU modules fully support calibration data mapped to RAM for integration with industry standard on-the-fly calibration tools.

Typical end users include OEMs, tier 1 suppliers, powertrain and chassis system designers, component suppliers, and research establishments. A range of tested OpenECU control strategies for spark or compression ignition engine control and exhaust gas aftertreatment applications are also available. These are defined as a set of base-level, proven Simulink subsystems, which enable developers to concentrate on the strategy features specific to their application.  Pi Innovo also offers comprehensive support and consultancy services, including systems engineering, software development, electronics hardware design / development, and process development.

Features:

  •  MATLAB® object-based Data Dictionary using  Simulink Model Explorer
  •  Ability to use Model Block for large scale modeling capability
  •  One-click build system
  •  Full support of Model-Based Design and non-proprietary native Simulink block use in application layer
  •  Automatic ASAP2 file generation
  •  Supports common calibration tools such as ATI Vision, ETAS INCA, and Vector CANape via CCP
  •  Simulink Block Library supporting hardware I/O functionality, including analog and digital input/output, PWM and H-bridge output, CAN, J1939, OBD, and ISO based communications and diagnostics, engine monitoring and control, flight recorder functionality, injector outputs, and various hardware capabilities and options.
