Xpack4 technology
The flexible Xpack4 system can be used stationary or mobile thanks to its modular design. Different single board computers, modules, carrier boards, housings and complements enable the setup of customized hardware platforms.
The system obtains its specific IO and bus functionality by using specific interface cards (modules) and respective carrier boards. When building the systems, we use standard components from the aerospace, railway and automotive industry as well as our long-standing expertise to offer our customers a comprehensive hardware portfolio. Furthermore, current single board computers are the foundation for the connection to CarMaker and the implementation of virtual test driving. Short IO access times and broadband data interfaces emphasize the performance of the Xpack4 technology in a HIL environment.

Equipment
CarMaker
Our simulation software CarMaker enables comprehensive model testing on hardware.
RealtimeMaker
The embedded software solution RealtimeMaker enables test automation as well as the control of Xpack4 hardware components, Fail Safe Tester and real-time applications. As a generic integration platform, RealtimeMaker offers the possibility to integrate software and developed models to test them on real-time hardware. Signal-based tests can therefore be realized open loop.
