Key Considerations for Powertrain HIL Test
Safety, availability, and cost considerations can make performing thorough tests of embedded control devices using the complete system impractical. Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation is a real-time test technique used to test these devices more efficiently. During HIL test, the physical system that interfaces to an embedded control device is simulated on real-time hardware, and the outputs of the simulator mimic the actual output of the physical system. The embedded controller “thinks” it is in a real system. HIL simulation meticulously tests embedded control devices in a virtual environment before proceeding to real-world tests of the complete system. This application note covers recommended best practices for powertrain HIL testing.

Bundled White Papers: Strategies to Manage Obsolescence in Aerospace and Defense Test
Test engineers spend as much as 50 percent of their time (or even more in some cases) actively dealing with obsolescence in their test program sets. Read about different solutions in the marketplace to help you overcome the challenges you face today. Also explore best practices in operations implementation, hardware acquisition, and software design to reduce the sustainment burden of handling obsolescence in test systems long before the equipment goes end of life. ...

Secure Access to Field Device Data Holds the Key to Digitization and Optimized Maintenance
The digitization of field devices offers plant operators a huge potential to reduce operating costs while increasing productivity. With over 40 million field devices installed, the HART communication protocol is the most widely used digital communication technology in the process industry.
This Whitepaper shows how the HART signal can be used for continuous device monitoring and diagnosis to provide considerable added value over the complete plant lifecycle – from planning and installation through to operation and maintenance.

Questions to Ask About Manufacturing in Mexico
This book will lay out the questions to ask so that you can direct your attention to developing the appropriate legal framework, ensuring regulatory compliance, meeting all labor laws, managing site selection and infrastructure, simplifying logistics and other topics to review when setting up manufacturing operations in Mexico. ...
Smart Manufacturing in the Digital Factory.
The digitization of production towards Smart Factory presents great challenges, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). They need to integrate new digital solutions into running production systems and involve employees in the transformation process.
This is not only about the fusion of IT and production technology, but ultimately about a fundamental change in the entire corporate culture and structure. Because transformation does not stop at the factory gates. People, machines and products communicate permanently with each o ...
