Safety Precautions for Using Connector Panels 20

Safe Invehicle Usage of dSPACE Products

Guidelines for safe invehicle usage of dSPACE products

Any in-vehicle use of dSPACE products in line with the contractual purposes requires the use of enclosed test tracks that are specially safety-secured for the specific purpose, i.e. with appropriately restricted access and further appropriate safety measures.

DS1103 Hardware Installation and Configuration November 2014

Safety Precautions

If you intend to use dSPACE products outside enclosed tracks, you have to check with the relevant authorities in your country under which circumstances this is possible. You and the local authorities involved bear full responsibility for such use.

You must take appropriate measures to ensure that the overall system enters a safe state if a dangerous situation occurs, for example, by implementing emergency shutdown or a limp-home mode. This especially applies in the following cases:

n Where safety-critical interventions that affect vehicle behavior are

performed, for example, the stimulation of a bus system such as CAN, or the calibration or bypassing of in-vehicle electronic control units (ECUs) that control powertrain, chassis, or body systems.

n Where dSPACE products are deployed in conjunction with ECUs

which would be a hazard if they malfunctioned.

The guidelines accordingly apply to the use of dSPACE products in aircraft or vessels in line with the contractual purposes.

Safety Precautions for Transportation

Transportation of DS1103 installed in an Expansion Box

The DS1103 PPC Controller Board installed inside the expansion box will be damaged during transportation and shipment!

Due to the weight of the heat sinks on the board, both the expansion box and the board itself will be damaged by acceleration and shocks.

n For shipment and transportation, remove a DS1103 from the

expansion box (PX4, PX10 or PX20).

n Ship the board separately from the box.

n Put it in an antistatic bag and then in a strong cardboard box, in

which the board is firmly fixed against movement.

DS1103 Hardware Installation and Configuration November 2014

Safety Precautions for Installing and Connecting the Hardware

system is powered up and/or external devices are switched on. Make sure that the expansion box (if used) and external devices are turned off beforehand.

Safety Precautions for Using Expansion Boxes

Objective

Installing

Grounding

To avoid damage to the expansion box and to achieve safe and trouble-free operation, the following guidelines have to be observed.

Before doing any installation work on an expansion box:

n Make sure that the PC is turned off and no external devices are

connected to the box.

n Unplug all external connectors from all boards already installed,

because these connectors might conduct dangerous high voltage into the chassis or parts of the circuit.

n If there is any chance that external devices connected to the

boards might conduct dangerous high voltage into the chassis, never unplug the power cord, which is the system’s protective ground, unless all other connectors are unplugged.

n The power cord must be plugged into a grounded wall outlet only.

Turning expansion boxes on and off

Expansion box in use

n Before you work with an expansion box, you should always turn

on the expansion box before the host PC.

n Do not switch off the expansion box while the host PC is still

running. This might lead to unpredictable errors.

n The operating temperatures of hardware devices directly affect

their life time and their function. You must therefore ensure that the ambient temperature of the dSPACE system does not exceed the specified maximum temperature. For details, refer to PX4:

Ensuring Correct Operating Temperatures on page 247, PX10: Ensuring Correct Operating Temperatures on page 252, PX20: Ensuring Correct Operating Temperatures on page 262, or AutoBox: Ensuring Correct Operating Temperatures on page 275.

DS1103 Hardware Installation and Configuration November 2014

Safety Precautions for Using AutoBox/Tandem-AutoBox in a Vehicle

n Do not block the air vents or place the unit too close to a wall or

other obstacle.

n Guard against foreign objects (staples, etc.) falling or blowing into

the box, or liquids being spilled into it.

n Do not expose the system to excessive dust or moisture.

n The fans of the expansion boxes have a dust filter. You have to

check the dust filter for dirt at least once a year. More frequent checks may be necessary depending on the operating conditions. If the dust filter is dirty, you must replace it.

A dirty dust filter blocks the input air stream and increases the temperature in the box, which may shorten the life of the hardware components. For instructions, refer to How to Check and Replace the Dust Filter of an Expansion Box on page 50.

Safety Precautions for Using AutoBox/Tandem-AutoBox in a Vehicle

Objective

Guidelines

To avoid damage to the AutoBox/Tandem-AutoBox and to achieve safe and trouble-free operation, the following special guidelines have to be observed.

n Turn off the engine while connecting or disconnecting the car

battery. Even a brief disconnection of the battery while the engine is running results in a load dump of the car generator producing hazardous voltages of more than 100 V.

n Only valid for AutoBox up to Version 3.0 and Tandem-AutoBox up

to Version 4.0:

Double check the supply voltage polarity of the AutoBox/TandemAutoBox. Reverse polarity will immediately destroy the AutoBox/Tandem-AutoBox power supply even if the remote control input is turned off.

n Do not block the air intake of the fan on the rear side, and provide

sufficient space for free air flow.

n Do not operate the AutoBox/Tandem-AutoBox for extended

periods of time when the cover is removed.

DS1103 Hardware Installation and Configuration November 2014

Safety Precautions

n The fans of the expansion boxes have a dust filter. You have to

check the dust filter for dirt at least once a year. More frequent checks may be necessary depending on the operating conditions. If the dust filter is dirty, you must replace it.

Safety Precautions for Using Connector Panels

Objective

Guidelines

To avoid damage to the hardware and to achieve safe and trouble‑free operation, the following guidelines must always be observed.

n Before connecting a panel to a board, make sure that the PC or

the expansion box (if used) are turned off and no external devices are connected to the panel.

See http://www.dspace.com/go/FAQ.

n To stay up-to-date with information on possible

problems, you should periodically check the known problem reports.

See http://www.dspace.com/go/ProblemReports.

If self-help does not solve the problem, contact dSPACE Support and give them information about your dSPACE environment and the problems you have. The best way to do this is with the support request form provided on the website at http://www.dspace.com/go/supportrequest, but you can also send an e-mail or phone us. For details, refer to Contacting dSPACE Support (

Software Installation

and Management Guide).

After you install and configure your system, you are ready to implement a model – either via a Simulink model including blocks from dSPACE’s Real‑Time Interface (RTI) or via a handcoded algorithm – and download the corresponding application to your real‑time hardware. ControlDesk Next Generation can be used to experiment with your real‑time application. Refer to First Work Steps with a dSPACE System.

External devices

Checking the System Requirements

Objective

Host PC

Expansion box

Before installing dSPACE’s hardware, you have to check whether your hardware meets the system requirements.

Your host PC must fulfill the system requirements concerning:

n The dSPACE software and other required third-party software,

n The requirements for the hardware which is needed for

connecting the host PC and the expansion box.

This connection has to be established via a bus interface.

For details, refer to Appendix: System Requirements ( Software Installation and Management Guide).

If you want to install the DS1103 in an expansion box, the box must fulfill the following requirements.

Required slots You need one free full-size ISA slot and two free adjacent brackets (refer to the illustration in How to Install the DS1103 on page 38). In addition, one free full-size ISA slot is required by the DS814 (bus connection) or the slot CPU (Ethernet connection).

Bus interface If you want to connect the expansion box to the host PC via a bus interface, the DS814 has to be installed in the box.

A suitable dSPACE link board has to be installed in the host PC.

Slot CPU If you want to connect the expansion box to the host PC via Ethernet, a slot CPU has to be installed in the box.

Keep in mind that the host PC requires a network adapter to establish an Ethernet communication.

Resources of dSPACE boards

The resources in the host PC and in the expansion box needed by your dSPACE boards depend on your installation, refer to Resource Requirements of dSPACE Boards on page 31.

Compatibility to dSPACE Releases

The following notes describe the compatibility of dSPACE Releases to the different board revisions of the DS1103 PPC Controller Board:

n If you use release DS1103 Revision 09 for dSPACE Release 4.1 or

later releases:

n Programs or models that were prepared and compiled for

board revision DS1103-07 (400 MHz CPU clock, cooling by fan) and earlier must be recompiled.

n Programs or models that were prepared and compiled for the

DS1103-09 run on earlier board revisions without changes. However, applications that use the new functions of the DS1103-09 are not supported on the DS1103‑07.

n If you use dSPACE Release 4.1 or earlier releases:

These releases do not support the DS1103-09.

Installing the Hardware

Objective

Shipment with expansion box

Where to go from here

dSPACE’s real‑time boards can be installed in the host PC or in an expansion box connected to the PC via Ethernet or a bus interface.

An expansion box is an enclosure to be used for dSPACE boards only. It provides 20 (PX20), 10 (PX10) or 4 (PX4) full‑size 16‑bit PC/AT slots with the standard 0.8 inch (20.3 mm) spacing.

If you order the DS1103 together with an expansion box, the DS1103 is not inserted in the expansion box. The board is shipped separately to avoid damage to itself and to the expansion box during transportation.

Information in this section

Resource Requirements of dSPACE Boards

Depending on the installation, dSPACE boards require resources in the host PC and the expansion box.

Setting up the DS1103

Before inserting the DS1103 in the host PC or expansion box, you have to check if any of the board's default settings must be changed.

Installing the DS1103

After setting up the DS1103, you can install it in your host PC or in an expansion box.

Installing a Connector Panel

CP and CLP connector panels provide easy-to-use connections between the board and external devices.

Installing AutoBox/Tandem-AutoBox in a Vehicle

AutoBox is an expansion box for in‑vehicle applications. After the dSPACE boards are installed in an AutoBox, the AutoBox itself has to be installed in a vehicle.
