Handling boards dSPACE hardware contain sensitive electronic devices. Before unpacking, installing and removing them, take the following precautions to avoid damage caused by high electrostatic voltage:

n Make sure that you and all material the board comes in contact with are properly grounded.

n Do not touch the contacts of the connectors.

Installing hardware Before doing any installation work, make sure that:

n The power supply (car engine) is switched off.

n No external devices are connected to the dSPACE system.

Connecting devices To avoid risk of injury and prevent damage to the hardware:

n Do not connect any high-voltage devices to the I/O connectors of the hardware.

n Do not apply voltages/currents outside the specified ranges to the connector pins.

n Do not connect or disconnect any devices while the dSPACE system is powered up and/or external devices are switched on. Make sure that external devices are turned off beforehand.

Safety Precautions for Using MicroAutoBox in a Vehicle

Objective To avoid damage to the MicroAutoBox and to achieve safe and trouble-free operation, the following special guidelines have to be observed.

Guidelines n Turn off the engine while connecting or disconnecting the car battery. Even a brief disconnection of the battery while the engine is running results in a load dump of the car generator producing hazardous voltages of more than 100 V.

n Double-check the supply voltage polarity of MicroAutoBox. Reverse polarity might destroy parts of MicroAutoBox immediately under some circumstances, even if the remote control input is turned off.

Safety Precautions for Using MicroAutoBox Break-Out Boxes

Objective To avoid risk of injury and/or damage to the hardware and to achieve safe and trouble-free operation, you must comply with the following guidelines.

Working with Break-Out Boxes

Depending on the connected devices there can be hazardous voltages on the contacts of the boxes caused by failures. To avoid risk of serious injury or death due to electric shock:

n Do not touch bare contacts, connector pins or any connected terminals and devices while the system is powered.

Changing the existing cable harness via Break-Out Box can cause uncontrolled movements of and/or damage to connected devices. To avoid risk of injury and material damage:

n Before changing the cabling, think through the effects of the changes you are planning.

n Ensure that no one is in the potential danger zone of the device (test bench, etc.) when the changes first take effect.

Changing the termination of bus lines via termination switches can cause failures in bus communication. These failures might lead to uncontrolled movements of and/or damage to connected devices. To avoid risk of injury and material damage:

n Ensure that the termination change complies with the bus specification.

Connecting devices To avoid risk of injury and damage to the MicroAutoBox:

n Do not connect any high-voltage devices to the I/O connectors of the Break-Out Box.

n Do not apply voltages/currents outside the specified ranges of the used MicroAutoBox to the terminal points of the Break-Out Boxes.

n Do not connect or disconnect sensors/actuators while the power supply of MicroAutoBox and all the devices is switched on.

n Observe all safety precautions described in the documentation of the connected devices.

Installation location To avoid damage to the Break-Out Boxes:

n Do not use the Break-Out Boxes in the vehicle's engine compartment.

Introduction to MicroAutoBox

Objective The dSPACE system based on MicroAutoBox comprises hardware and software.


Hardware

Objective MicroAutoBox combines the advantages of a rapid prototyping (RCP) system with those of an automotive electronic control unit (ECU). Therefore, it is ideally suited as hardware for dSPACE Prototyper in a vehicle.

MicroAutoBox operates without user intervention, just like an ECU, and can be installed virtually anywhere in the vehicle. At the same time MicroAutoBox provides all the benefits of a dSPACE real-time system. A PC or notebook can be attached temporarily for program download, data analysis and calibration.

Variants Different variants of standard MicroAutoBox are available. This document describes the installation and configuration of all variants:

Basics on DS4340 FlexRay Interface Modules

Objective Basic information on the DS4340's features, bus termination, feed-through lines, and connecting the bus lines is given below.

Features of DS4340 modules

DS4340 modules are FlexRay communication modules provided by dSPACE. They have the following features:

n Freescale MFR43x0 FlexRay Communication Controller

n Dual physical layer interface with TJA1080

n Feed-through for FlexRay bus signals in passive-linear bus topology

n Switchable termination circuit

DS4340 modules are supported by the RTI FlexRay Configuration Blockset.

Bus termination You can terminate the bus lines if the channels of the DS4340 module are connected at the end of the FlexRay bus. The termination resistance is switched via software in the RTIFLEXRAYCONFIG CONTROLLER SETUP block, refer to Options Page (RTIFLEXRAYCONFIG CONTROLLER SETUP) ( FlexRay Configuration RTI Reference). For a detailed description of bus termination, refer to DS4340 Connections in Different Topologies on page 37.

Feed-through lines If the DS4340 is not connected at an end of the FlexRay bus and it is connected at a linear passive bus, you can use the feed-through bus lines to keep the stub length as short as possible. This improves the EMC robustness and FlexRay signal integrity, especially in a topology consisting of many nodes and long distances between the splices or ECUs. For details, refer to DS4340 Connections in Different Topologies on page 37.

CAUTION

MicroAutoBox 1401/1507: Do not configure a FlexRay module by yourself. You may destroy parts of MicroAutoBox.

If you want to use the wake-up function, the configuration must be done by dSPACE.



Basics The transceiver TJA1080 provides two inhibit signals (INH1 and INH2) which can be used for waking up MicroAutoBox. When the transceiver detects an activity on the FlexRay bus, the inhibit signals are set to UBAT voltage level. This starts MicroAutoBox if the inhibit signals are connected to the REMOTE pin of MicroAutoBox (Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) Connector, M 3 pin). For detailed information on the inhibit signals (INH1 and INH2), refer to the TJA1080 data sheet.

The inhibit signals are not connected to the Sub-D I/O connector by default. To connect them, you must solder SMD resistors (resistance:0 Ω, size: 1206) on the DS4340, see the following circuit.

Preconditions Two SMD resistors are required (resistance: 0 Ω, size: 1206).

Connecting to a LIN Bus

How to Configure MicroAutoBox as the LIN Master

Default configuration If you run MicroAutoBox within a LIN network, it is configured as a LIN slave by default. You must reconfigure MicroAutoBox if you want to use it as the LIN master.

Changing the default configuration

You can configure MicroAutoBox as the LIN master by adding a series connection consisting of a 1 kΩ pull-up resistor and a diode. This circuit must be wired in parallel to the LIN transceiver. For detailed information, refer to the specification of the LIN transceiver used.

Possible methods The configuration varies according to the MicroAutoBox variant.

n For MicroAutoBox 1401/1507, you can add the pull-up resistor internally. The diode is already soldered on the DS1507. Refer to Method 1.

n For MicroAutoBox 1401/1505/1506 and 1401/1505/1507, you can add the pull-up resistor internally. The diode is already soldered on the DS1506. Refer to Method 2.

n For MicroAutoBox 1401/1501 and 1401/1504, you must add the series connection of the pull-up resistor and diode externally. Refer to Method 3.

Method 1 To configure MicroAutoBox 1401/1507 as LIN master


2 Open the enclosure of MicroAutoBox You will find the two CAN_TP1 modules on the bottom of the DS1507. You can solder 0805 SMD resistors at the marked positions (PAD) as the master pull-up.

Pin Description

Objective The pin description is divided into several categories.


Power Input and Output

Pin description The following table gives a description of the pins used for power input and output:

Power Input and Output 122

Digital Input 123

Digital Output 125

Analog Input and Output 127

Interfaces 128

Pins Signal Description/Function

V3, V4, W3, W4, W5, X3, X4 VBAT Main power supply input. Connect at least 2 pins to the plus of your car battery.

F3, F4, G3, G4, G5, H3, H4 GND Main power supply return and reference for all input and output signals. Connect at least 2 pins to the minus of your car battery. Use unused pins to reference your signals. This signal is also connected to the case of MicroAutoBox.



Digital Input

Pin description Most digital signals have separate input and output pins. If your software defines a signal for output, the corresponding input has no function. If the software defines a signal as input the corresponding output pin has the same level as the corresponding input pin.

When software does not control the digital I/O signals (during reset or before correct initialization) each output will be in the same state as the corresponding input. This allows you to define the default (reset) state of each output by driving the input with an external signal.

E1 VDRIVE This input supplies all digital input and output circuits.o Connect this input to VSENS to get TTL-compatible

logic levels to your inputs/outputs.o Connect this input to VBATprot to get automotive-

compatible logic levels to your inputs/outputs.o Do not connect this pin directly to VBAT, because

the input and output circuits are not load dump or reverse voltage protected at this signal.

o While MicroAutoBox is being powered down, the output stages have pull-up behavior to VDRIVE. So the outputs may reach the level of VDRIVE. If this behavior is critical in your application, you have to power down your external devices or VDRIVE before MicroAutoBox is powered down. You can also use the REMOTE signal (Kl.15) with the power control software functionality to first switch off VDRIVE via a relay.

E2 VSENS Sensor Supply output.Use this output to supply your sensors and/or VDRIVE.

c2 VBAT prot Protected VBAT output.Use this output to supply VDRIVE when automotive logic levels are needed.


If you use this feature ensure that your software initializes your output signal to the same state you defined for the input.



124 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

The following table gives a description of the digital input pins:

Pins Signal Module Description/Function

M3 REMOTE - Start signal of entire system (active high) with pull-down.

M2, M4, M5, M6

CTM ch 1 … 4 DIO Capture/compare inputs with pull-up. Inputs for frequency or pulse-width measurement.

N1 ... P2 Group 6 ch 1 ... 8 DIO Standard discrete digital input with pull-up.

P3 TPU ch 1 DIO This input drives the first channel of the internal Time Processing Unit of the DIO module, which is useful for motor management. Therefore, the signal is conditioned by an adaptive Schmitt trigger, which generates one single impulse whenever the input voltage crosses 0 V to negative voltages. This single impulse is also used for driving the main CPU INT13.

P4 TPU ch 2 DIO - also drives the main CPU INT4 (see Interrupt Handling ( MicroAutoBox Features)) even when a corresponding out is used- provides a pull-up



R1 TPU ch 5 DIO - also drives the main CPU INT7 (see Interrupt Handling ( MicroAutoBox Features)) even when a corresponding out is used- provides a pull-up


R3 TPU ch 7 DIO - also drives the main CPU INT9 even when a corresponding out is used- provides a pull-up- can generate external interrupt (see Interrupt Handling ( MicroAutoBox Features))

Digital Output

General behavior of digital signals

Most digital signals have separate input and output pins. If your software defines a signal for output, the corresponding input has no function. If the software defines a signal as input the corresponding output pin has the same level as the corresponding input pin.




R6 ... S6 TPU ch 10 ... 16 DIO Like TPU ch 2 ... 9 in, but no additional function. TPU ch 10 ... 16 in have pull-ups.

T1 ... U1, W6

Group 2 ch 1 ... 8 DIO Standard discrete digital input with pull-up

a6, b3, b4, b6, c3 ... c6

Group 5 ch 1 ... 8 DIO Standard discrete digital input with no pull-up/pull-downIn the second function these signals can be analog to digital converted (10-bit resolution) by the DIO module.

Y3, Y4, Y6, Z3, Z4, Z6, a3, a4

Group 4 ch 1 ... 8 DIO

Pin description The following table gives a description of the digital output pins:


Pins Signal Module Default state

Description/Function

A3 ... A6, B3 ... B5

Group 1 ch 1 ... 7 DIO Type 1 low Standard discrete digital output.Group 1 is for output only. You cannot change the default state of the signal because there is no corresponding input pin.

B6, C3 ... C6, D3 ... D5

CTM ch 1 ... 8 DIO Type 1 high PWM outputs of the DIO-Capture/Compare unit.

D6,E3 ... F2,F5

Group 6 ch 1 ... 8 DIO Type 1 high Standard discrete digital output.

F6 TPU ch 1 DIO Type 1 high DIO-Time Processing Unit output 1.Due to the special "TPU ch 1 input" this signal will not directly follow its input. It rather shows the single impulse created by this input signal conditioning.

G1, G2, G6 ... H2, H5 ... K2

TPU ch 2 ... 16 DIO Type 1 high DIO-Time Processing Unit output 2 ... 16.Depending on the DIO TPU firmware the TPU outputs can perform a complete motor management or simply generate PWM or discrete output signals.

K3 Group 2 ch 1 DIO Type 1 high Standard discrete digital output.While resetting the DIO module this signal is high, independent from the state of "Group 2 ch 1 in".



Default state means the state of the signal without any connection to the corresponding input and/or without any output action by the software.

Analog Input and Output

Pin description The following table gives a description of the analog input and output pins:

Default state means the state of the signal during reset.

K4 ... L4 Group 2 ch 2 ... 8 DIO Type 1 high Standard discrete digital output.

L5 ... M1 Group 3 ch 1 … 3 DIO Type 1 low Standard discrete digital output.Group 3 is for output only. You cannot change the default state of the signal because there is no corresponding input pin.

Baud Rate Limitations of the Serial Interface

Objective Due to the limitations of the UART baud rate generator, not all baud rates can be programmed exactly to the desired baud rate without error.

Baud rate calculation The UART baud rate generator provides several baud rates:

To calculate the divisor T for a chosen baud rate

To calculate the real baud rate from a given divisor T

To calculate the resulting error

If ErrorBR≤ 2%, messages will be transferred and received correctly.

T = Round230400

BR (chosen)

BR (chosen) = The baudrate to be generated

T = The baudrate generator divisor (2 ≤ T ≤ 65535)

BR (real) = The baudrate you get

ECU Interface Connector

Objective MicroAutoBox 1401/1507 provides a 4–pin LEMO connector that grants access to the signals of the ECU interface (LVDS interface), for example, to connect MicroAutoBox to the RapidPro system.

Matching cable If you require a cable with a matching LEMO connector, you can order it from dSPACE.

Power Input Connector

Objective MircoAutoBox 1401/1507 provides a power input connector. It is a 7-pin, male connector with two high-current pins. It is adapted from a 15-pin Sub-D connector.

For pin descriptions, refer to Power Input and Output on page 171.

Matching cable A preconfigured cable for the supply voltage is provided by dSPACE. This cable is intended to operate MicroAutoBox with a laboratory power supply during development. Therefore, VREMOTE (pin 4) is shorted to VBAT (pin A2) inside the connector in order to save a separate switch. Do not use this cable in the vehicle. Otherwise, MicroAutoBox will always be turned on.

The VBAT wire (red) contains a melting fuse (4.0 A, time lag). Each wire has a cross-section of 1.5 mm².



Pin Description

Objective The pin description is divided into two categories.



Pin description The following table gives a description of the pins used for power input and output for MicroAutoBox 1401/1507:


Interfaces 172

Pin Signal Description/Function

A2 VBAT Main power supply input. Connect this pin to the positive pole of your car battery.

A1 GND Main power supply return and reference for all input and output signals. Connect this pin to the minus pole of your car battery. This signal is also connected to the case of MicroAutoBox.

4 VREMOTE o The remote voltage may be used for starting MicroAutoBox with a remote switch: KL15, for example (output of the ignition/driving switch).

o If you connect the remote pin to the car battery directly, MicroAutoBox will always be turned on, and the car battery will soon be exhausted if the engine is not running. Thus, a switch is highly recommended.

o The remote voltage should not exceed the supply voltage.

Interfaces

Pin description The following table gives a description of the pins of the ECU interface which can be accessed via the ECU interface connector, and a description of the pins of the 78-pin Sub-D I/O connector. Which I/O signals are available depends on the FlexRay IP module you use (DS4340 or third-party).

ECU interface connector The following table gives a description of the interface pins which can be accessed via ECU interface connector:

Sub-D I/O connector The following tables give a description of the interface pins provided by the 78-pin Sub-D I/O connector.

CAN_TP1 Module 1 The CAN_TP1 Module 1 has the following pins:


1 ECU / IF TX - ECU Type 1 ECU interface (also called LVDS interface). You can also use this interface to connect a RapidPro system to MicroAutoBox. This reflective memory-based ECU-bypassing interface is proprietary to dSPACE.Connect the MicroAutoBox-RX pair to the ECU-TX pair and the MicroAutoBox-TX pair to the ECU-RX pair. Always use a CAT5 twisted-pair cable for this connection. For the ECU interface connector, use mass-produced cables provided by dSPACE.

(FlexRay) IP Module and DS4340 Module Different module types can be installed on the DS1507 (slot 2 only) by dSPACE: A standard IP module, a third-party FlexRay IP module or a DS4340 module. The table describes the pins when a third-party FlexRay IP module or a DS4340 is installed.

10 Serial 2 K/LIN CAN Type 1 LIN or ISO 9141 interfaceThe K line/LIN interface is bidirectional. The L line is input only. Both lines have no pull-up. For proper function of the K line connect an external pull-up resistor (4.7 kΩ) from this line to VBAT.

11 Serial 2 L CAN Type 1











The Sub-D connector can also be used for access to the signals of a standard IP module installed on the DS1507. Because the connector is primarily used for FlexRay, not all signals of the IP modules are available. See Sub-D I/O Connector on page 166.

Problems with Multiple Plug & Play Boards

Objective Working with more than one dSPACE board in plug & play configuration presents us with two problems. The first is that the logical name of a board as assigned by the software must be associated with a physical board. The second is that under certain conditions, assignment of the names to the boards may change unexpectedly. It is vital to detect this situation, because otherwise an application to be loaded to a certain board might be loaded to another board of the same type by mistake.

For example, assume you have one board connected to the engine ECU and another connected to the ESP system of a vehicle. In order to avoid severe damage to the car, you must avoid loading the program intended for the ECU-related board to the ESP-related board, and vice versa.

Affected boards The problem described always applies to DS1104 boards (and MicroAutoBox via DS815 or DS817) because plug & play mode cannot be disabled.

It also applies to DS1103 and DS1005 boards if they are configured to plug & play mode. For these boards, plug & play mode can be used only if they are installed in a PC directly. This might be the case with an industrial PC with many ISA slots and a built-in PC.

The problem can be avoided for DS1103 and DS1005 boards installed in a PC simply by disabling the plug & play mode. This means, however, that you must set up a configuration free of I/O address conflicts by setting the I/O address switches of the boards manually.

Not affected boards n The problem never applies to DS1006 boards, because these boards do not support the plug & play mode.

n The problem never applies to DS1103 and DS1005 boards installed in a dSPACE expansion box independently of the type of interface used to connect the box to the PC, because when they are installed in expansion boxes, the plug & play mode must be disabled.

Handling plug & play boards in ControlDesk

ControlDesk’s Platform Manager handles the boards by detecting their type (DS1005, DS1103, DS1104, MicroAutoBox via DS815 or DS817) and their actual I/O address. For plug & play boards, the actual I/O address is dynamically assigned by the PC BIOS or the plug & play components of the operating system. If you add hardware



262 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

components to your host PC or remove them from it, or enable or disable motherboard components, the PC's BIOS and/or the operating system's plug & play components assign new resources such as I/O addresses to all plug & play components, including dSPACE boards in plug & play mode.

This may result in different I/O addresses being assigned to the same board without even touching any of the dSPACE boards! This situation cannot be automatically corrected by the Platform Manager. It does, however, detect a change in the configuration, that is a change in the names assigned to the boards and the particular board. Detection is based on the board serial numbers.

The Platform Manager detects such a change if at least one board was allocated a different name by the device driver. The affected board is removed from the dSPACE configuration and cannot be accessed by the Platform Manager to avoid confusion when loading applications and to prevent damage to external devices connected to the board. The Platform Manager displays an error message and requires the user to reregister all the hardware before all boards can be used again.

Method To restore a consistent dSPACE board configuration

1 From ControlDesk’s menu bar, choose Platform – Initialization – Clear System.

Boards setup in plug & play mode are then reregistered automatically.

2 In the Platform Navigator, double-click the corresponding board icon to open the Platform Properties dialog.

3 Compare the serial number of each dSPACE board (label on each board’s bracket) with the one shown in the board’s property page of the Platform Manager to make sure that your applications are still loaded to the correct dSPACE boards.



Property pages The following table displays the affected dSPACE boards and the property pages showing the boards’ serial numbers:

For details, see Properties: Platform Properties ( ControlDesk Reference).

Problems with the Flight Recorder

Troubleshooting One of the following error messages may come up when you use the flight recorder.

n After using the Clear System command, you must reregister all installed dSPACE boards that do not support plug & play or where plug & play mode is disabled by means of the address switches.

n It is your responsibility to check and ensure that all applications are still loaded to the correct board. Since this is not under complete control of the dSPACE software it might even be necessary to change external connections to the boards! In a subsequent release of the Platform Manager it will be possible to assign board names to the particular boards as needed.

Problems Related to the Firmware

Corrupt firmware

Error messages One of the following error messages may come up when you try to download an application to MicroAutoBox. The application is not executed.

n <board_name>: Startup code has not been executed correctly after loading <application>.

n <board_name>: No firmware (bootstrap code) found. Please load the firmware again.

n There is not enough global memory while loading <application> to board <board_name>

If the error messages are caused by a corrupted bootstrap loader which is included in the firmware, you have to re-program the firmware.

Overrun during flight recording detected (data incomplete)

During data saving, the bit rate was so high that some data could not be recorded. Reasons: o Too many variables are saved in

too short a period, or o Data is written to the flash too

fast. The flash of MicroAutoBox has a bit rate of approx. 700 KByte/s. If this bit rate overruns, data is lost.

Reduce the variables or the cycle time of the model/program, so that the flash has a longer period to save the data.

Detected incomplete or faulty flight recorder data

During data saving or conversion, failures in the data structure occurred. The BIN file or the data in the flash memory is corrupt.

Contact dSPACE support for further measures.

Error Message Cause Remedy

You should not switch off MicroAutoBox’s power supply or disconnect MicroAutoBox from the host PC while loading an application to the box. This may be the reason for a corrupted firmware.



Method To re-program the firmware

1 Update the boot firmware as described in Updating the Firmware ( dSPACE System First Work Steps).

2 Download the application again.

If the application does not start, you have to proceed with the following steps.

3 Re-install your dSPACE software – probably on a second PC.

4 Write any application to the flash memory.

5 Clear the flash memory.
