XMS Box
Test unit for electronic braking systems
Modern braking electronics are networked with other control units via serial bus systems and can be diagnosed via these. The development and validation of such systems require test units that can simulate real-world driving situations and enable braking processes to be tested safely and reproducibly – ideally both on a PC and autonomously in a vehicle environment.
SYS TEC electronic has developed the XMS-Box – a compact controller for simulating and testing electronic braking systems.
When connected to a PC via USB, the XMS Box acts as a real-time controller for ISO-K and CAN, as well as an RS232/ISO-K level converter. This enables the PC to generate realistic driving scenarios and run automated test sequences.
Pre-programmed test patterns are stored in the XMS box and transmitted to the braking system without the need for a PC. The response data is recorded locally and can be retrieved later on a PC . Buttons and status LEDs allow the user to monitor the operating status and test sequence at any time.
SYS TEC electronic has developed configuration software and Windows drivers to facilitate integration into existing test programmes. When the PC software is updated, the XMS-Box’s firmware is automatically updated as well, ensuring that the PC application and test hardware remain compatible at all times.
SYS TEC electronic was responsible for the entire development process: from the design of the test unit, through hardware and software development and prototyping, right through to series production, including a testing and update strategy. This provides the customer with an integrated solution for their brake tests , backed by long-term support.
Why the XMS Box helped our client’s project move forward
With the XMS Box, the client gained a flexible test system that:
- simulates realistic driving scenarios both in the laboratory and in the field,
- can be used either independently or with a PC,
- can be quickly integrated into existing test infrastructures thanks to standardised drivers,
- and significantly increases test coverage and reliability in the development of braking systems.
The combination of hardware, firmware, PC software and series production from a single source reduced the integration effort, shortened development times and ensured a stable test setup with long-term availability .
