FUJITSU TEN developes a multi-node real-time
sumilator equiped
with Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4-2GHz as the latest addition to its automobile
ECU, CRAMAS(*)
- The new CRAMAS is expected to shorten the
time required to develop large-scale
automotive
control systems as well as to
improve the
efficiency of testing and evaluating
such
systems - |
| (*) CRAMAS: Computer Aided Multi-Analysis System |
FUJITSU TEN LIMITED (Head Office: Kobe, President,
Takamitsu Tsuchimoto, Capital: 5.3 billion
yen) has added to its CRAMAS lineup a new
system which incorporates several real-time
simulators in multi-node. With each simulator
equipped with Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4-2GHz high-speed CPU board, this system
can improve the efficiency of functional
evaluation for the development of large-scale
automotive control system while expediting
the experiment and evaluation process during
the line production design stage.
This system will be exhibited at the
2002
Automotive Engineering Exposition (sponsored
by the Society of Automotive Engineers
of
Japan, Inc.) to be held at Pacifico
Yokohama
(Yokohama city) from July 23 (Tue)
to July
25 (Thu), 2002.
The improvement of safety and comfort of
automobiles over the recent years has
created
a request for higher-capacity firmware
in
ECU (Electronic Control Unit) and the
extended
process for functional development
and reliability
evaluation.
FUJITSU TEN's real-time simulator CRAMAS,
launched into market last year, enables manufacturers
to evaluate the function and reliability
of their control algorithm installed in ECUs
for engines and transmissions under the simulated
conditions as if they were actually mounted
on automobiles.
Upgraded from the previous CRAMAS software
and equipped with Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4-2GHz high-speed CPU board, the newly developed
system exhibits higher computing performance.
Furthermore, linking several simulators
in
multi-node has not only enabled the
simulation
of complicated and diversified movement
of
automobiles including that of engines
and
transmissions but also contributed
to the
shortening of ECU development period
as well
as to the improvement of efficiency
in tests
and evaluations.
This product will be made available
on a
BTO (built-to-order) basis.
[Main Characteristics]
The product can:
EExhibit high computing performance enabled
by Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4-2GHz high-speed CPU board.
ESimulate large-scale control system
through
multi-node.
EBe easily operated from PC and can
be used
jointly with PC for data compiling.
EBe applied to non-automotive electronic
control units
[System Configuration]
Main Unit Case, CPU, ADIO Board (analogue/digital
input/output), CORE Board (Custom Signal
Processing Equipped with FPGA), CAN
Transmission
Board, CRAMAS Base Software
