Uniform specifications enable wide test coverage and reliable comparability of results

The new NovaCarts Test Case Generator (TCG) from MicroNova is now available. This tool makes the electronic safeguarding of control units more efficient by automating the process of test case generation in EXAM. Because of its uniform basis and procedure, the test results are comparable and reproducible.

New HiL Software Version comes equipped with expanded XiL-API

As of today the 4.1 version of the operation and control software NovaCarts from MicroNova is available for sale. An expanded XiL interface will boost the efficiency of test procedures through the simultaneous use of multiple real-time computers. Additionally, the new graphic user interface (GUI) enables configuration of the triggered recording of measured values.

NovaCarts cards and modules from MicroNova enable hardware-based and software-based simulations

The new NovaCarts cards from MicroNova are now available. The smart cards and modules can be combined with each other in flexible configurations and can simulate all conditions to which a battery management system (BMS) might be exposed. The solutions are future-proof and designed for the test requirements of future technologies, such as solid-state batteries.

Tailor-made applications for the clear presentation of data from different sources

MicroNova now supports companies from all sectors with individual applications to monitor their data and, above all, keep them under control: Based on the application platform “Cluu”, individual apps can be created that merge, analyze and present data from various sources in a clearly arranged manner.

MicroNova presents X-in-the-loop platform and the latest EXAM release

Version 4.4 of the test automation tool EXAM and the NovaCarts X-in-the-loop (XiL) platform – MicroNova is presenting two new solutions for testing electronic control units at the Automotive Testing Expo 2017 in Stuttgart (June 20-22) and at the International Congress on Advances in Automotive Electronics in Ludwigsburg (June 27 & 28). The new release of EXAM now includes functions for assigning…

Test control unit functions inexpensively at an early stage with a powerful HiL simulator

The new, compact “NovaCarts Advanced” hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) systems fit on any desk, making them ideal as developer test stations and enabling users to test individual control devices or controller functions simply and conveniently early on in the development process.

Optimized “NovaCarts Real-Time Suite” Allows Testing of Models, Software, and Hardware

Version V4 of the NovaCarts Real-Time Suite by MicroNova is now suitable for so-called X-in-the-Loop (XiL) tests. This means that engineers can use the real-time software platform for hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) tests as well as model-in-the-loop (MiL) and software-in-the-loop (SiL) simulations.

MicroNova has extended the NovaCarts hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) simulators with the network protocol J1939. The protocol defines CAN bus signals and data formats for communication between different ECUs and is mainly used in powertrain and chassis components in commercial vehicles. NovaCarts test systems are therefore also suitable for ECU tests on heavy road or off-road vehicles.

Increased Bandwidth for NovaCarts Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) Simulators

NovaCarts HiL simulators from MicroNova now come with the bus standard “Controller Area Network with Flexible Data Rate” (CAN FD). CAN FD enables significantly higher data transmission rates than the traditional CAN bus system and is therefore ideal for more complex control units requiring greater bandwidth.

Plug & play-capable NovaCarts I/O components with system-on-a-chip approach

With their NovaCarts I/O boards and modules, MicroNova and carts are introducing a new generation of test systems for the development of control equipment. There are currently six different plug & play components available for e.g. the simulation of batteries in hybrid and electric vehicles. Each component has a system on a chip as well as algorithmic, software-based intelligence, enabling fast…
