Problem Definition : ECU Fault Detection Systems

Industry: Electronics

Branch:

Description: An engine control unit (ECU) is a type of electronic control unit that determ
needs to keep running. It does this by reading values from multidimension
the Fault in the ECU, all the parameters of the ECU can monitored and logg
ECU is using CAN protocol; however some of the ECUs also have GPIB. Lab
communication protocol a GPIB or CAN card can be used. There are CAN a
Measurement Toolkit which is made specifically for this purpose. Compact
can be further used for other Hardware in Loop tests also.

Suggestions:
Hardware: ECU, GPIB card/RS 232/ CAN card, CRIO

tests also.
