ASM Box

One Solution

covering all signal modulation patterns

The ASM Box allows efficient verification of PVE and OBD calibration via modulation of actuator and sensor signals, especially for homologation with government mode in addition to the common user mode. Because no faulty hardware is required for failure generation it achieves cost savings of at least 20 percent in typical use cases. Using the ASM Box for automated drifting of sensor signals for robustness testing improves the OBD system quality as well as the efficiency. ASM Box comes in 4 modules in different stages of expansion. All modules are based on a model-based automotive RCP system. With predefined Simulink® models, efficient and fast simulation of any engine component can be realized. The standard models can be easily customized to satisfy individual needs. In the case of calibration tasks, it is possible to use a calibration tool with XCP support to control the model behavior and simultaneously handle ECU labels and signals. In the case of homologation, the ASM Box offers a user friendly GUI with the possibility of controlling the system via WiFi and LAN.

Easy modulation of almost every signal – from injection parameters to NO_x or particle sensors: The ASM Box is a milestone in vehicle homologation and PVE.

Proven Results

Summary of realized signal failure patterns

The following signal failure patterns have been successfully realized with the ASM Box

CAN protocol for NO_x sensors and PM sensors as well as modulation of any message on a powertrain CAN bus without interfering with other messages.
For SENT protocol the feedback message of the Delta P sensor, EGR-LF and MAF sensor signals have been modulated.
Successful modulation via PWM signals of EGR-HF, AIR flap, MAF sensors, ignition and VVT actuators.
Any temperature sensor and rail pressure sensor via analog signals.
Oxygen sensor simulation for CJ135 has been realized for LSF, LSU4.9, LSU5.1 and LSU-ADV.
One of the highlights are injection system failure patterns for both Solenoid and Piezo injectors. The common misfire patterns are realized as well as complex scenarios such as shifting the start and end of injection.
