Fail Safe Tester: Simulation of electrical faults for reliable system validation

Fail Safe Tester simulates electrical faults such as cable breaks, short circuits, or loss of contact in a targeted and reliable manner. It allows you to test the impact of such faults on your ECUs or systems in a controlled way and to precisely analyze the behavior under realistic fault conditions.

What is Fail Safe Tester?

Modular device to simulate typical electrical faults such as cable break, short circuit, mixed up signal lines, or loose contact
Operates between the HIL system and one or multiple ECUs for flexible and targeted manipulation of signal lines to peripherals
Realistic reproduction of fault conditions and systematic tests of ECU behavior
Control via common interfaces or directly in CarMaker or RealtimeMaker

Who benefits from
Fail Safe Tester?

OEMs, suppliers, test engineers, and validation departments that want to protect their systems against electrical faults
Development teams from the application areas ADAS, autonomous driving, vehicle dynamics, or powertrain benefit from realistic fault simulation for complex systems

How can Fail Safe Tester be used?

Fail Safe Tester can simulate the following electrical faults:
- Interrupted signal lines (cable breaks)
- Mixed up signal lines
- Short circuits with other electric lines
- Increased contact resistance (e.g. because of corrosion)
- Leakage current (e.g. due to humidity)
- Loss of contact (loose contact)
Flexible configuration and connection of different signal paths using relay and an internal switching logic
Modular plug-in cards for power, tension, and switching applications expand the test functionality and adapt to specific test requirements
