Safety Precautions for Using Expansion Boxes 18

Safety Precautions for Using AutoBox/TandemAutoBox in a Vehicle

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

Basics on Changing I/O Base Addresses

Objective

Notes and Hints

For several conditions you have to change the default I/O base addresses (port addresses) of dSPACE boards. This is to avoid conflicts with other devices within your system.

Note the following hints on changing the default I/O base address.

N O T I C E

Assigning I/O addresses already used by other devices may lead to system failure, data loss on the hard disk, and even hardware damage.

n Refer to your PC’s technical reference manual for a

description of the standard I/O map and to the documentation of additional I/O boards that might be inserted in the PC.

n Refer also to the lists of resources used in the diagnostic

utilities of the PC’s operating system. However, these are not always complete.

DS1103 Hardware Installation and Configuration November 2014

Setting up the DS1103

Note the following hints on changing the default I/O base address of dSPACE boards:

n The I/O address ranges of dSPACE boards in your system must not

overlap. If your expansion box is connected via Ethernet, this applies also to the address ranges of the slot CPU and the FlashDisk.

n There are other devices like network boards or SCSI controllers

using the same I/O address range.

This does not apply if the expansion box is connected to the PC via Ethernet or via the link boards DS815, DS817, DS819, DS821 and DS814. In this case, only the link boards (PC) need resources in the PC. These resources are assigned automatically by the link boards’ plug & play feature.

n If you want to install the DS1103 in an expansion box, the plug &

play circuit on the DS1103 must be disabled. This is done automatically, when the board’s I/O base address is set to an address other than “000H”.

n Suppose you have connected several expansion boxes to your host

PC via one of the link boards (PC) DS815, DS817, DS819 or DS821, or via a MultiLink Panel DS830. If two (or more) of these boxes contain a dSPACE board of the same type, you have to set them to different I/O base addresses to allow the identification in ControlDesk Next Generation.

Within an Ethernet multiconnect group, the I/O base addresses of all included dSPACE boards must be unique.

Instructions on address changing

For detailed instructions on changing the I/O base address, refer to How to Change I/O Base Addresses on page 35.

How to Change I/O Base Addresses

Safety precautions

The DC–DC converter built into the AutoBox/Tandem-AutoBox lets you operate a dSPACE system connected to a car battery. Due to the high currents involved, special care must be taken when connecting the AutoBox/Tandem-AutoBox power supply to the car. Wires with high cross-section (6 mm2 minimum) are mandatory to avoid poor performance of the power supply and excessive heating of the wires.

WA R N I N G

Hazardous voltages

Risk of electric shock

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

n Turn off the engine while connecting or disconnecting

the car battery.

N O T I C E

Only valid for AutoBox up to Version 3.0 and Tandem-AutoBox up to Version 4.0: Reverse polarity destroys the AutoBox/Tandem-‑AutoBox power supply even if the remote control input is turned off.

n Double check the supply voltage polarity of

AutoBox/Tandem-AutoBox.

Wiring diagram

The wiring has to be performed according to the illustration below. If you use Tandem-AutoBox up to Version 4.0, both power supplies must be connected.

DS1103 Hardware Installation and Configuration November 2014

Installing AutoBox/Tandem-AutoBox in a Vehicle

For operation with DC voltages > 32 V, set up a power cable with adequate cable and fuse ratings. For further information, refer to dSPACE support.

n The remote voltage should not exceed the supply

voltage. Overvoltage protection of the remote pin is 100 V.

n The remote voltage may be used for starting

AutoBox/Tandem-AutoBox with a remote switch: KL15, for example (output of the ignition/driving switch).

n If you connect the remote pin to the car battery directly,

the AutoBox/Tandem-AutoBox will always be turned on, and the car battery will soon be exhausted if the engine is not running. Thus, a switch is highly recommended.

Cable supplied by dSPACE

A preconfigured cable for the supply voltage is provided by dSPACE. This cable is intended to operate the AutoBox/Tandem-AutoBox with a laboratory power supply during development. Therefore, pin 4 (remote) is shorted to pin A2 inside the connector in order to save a separate switch.

Do not use this cable in the vehicle. Otherwise, the AutoBox/Tandem-AutoBox will always be turned on.

As of March 2009, the VBAT wire (red) contains a melting fuse. The red wire has a cross-section of 10 mm², the black wire of 6 mm². Depending on the AutoBox/Tandem-AutoBox version, the melting fuse has the following characteristics:

n AutoBox:

n Up to Version 3.0: 60 A/32 V, time lag

n Version 4.0 and later: 25 A/32 V, time lag (label on the cable:

CB402AB)

How to Check and Replace the Dust Filter of an Expansion Box

Objective

Checking interval

Effect of using dirty dust filters

Tools and spare parts

The fans of various expansion boxes (PX10, PX20, AutoBox, TandemAutoBox) have a dust filter. Check the filter periodically. If it is dirty, you must replace it. Cleaning the dust filter is not sufficient to restore the characteristics of a new one.

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.

N O T I C E

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.

You need the following tools and spare parts:

n Phillips screwdriver, PH 1

n If the filter is dirty, you need a new one: dSPACE provides a pack

of three replacement dust filters for the different expansion boxes. The order numbers are as follows:

n PX10: FILTER_PAD_PX10

n PX20: FILTER_PAD_PX20

n AutoBox, Tandem-AutoBox: FILTER_PAD_ABX

The Tandem-AutoBox has two dust filters.

Method

To check and replace the dust filter of an expansion box

If you use a bus interface to connect the host PC to an expansion box, you currently have the five alternatives listed in the following table.

Link Boards (PC) Link Boards (Box)

DS815 DS814 DS817 DS814 DS819 DS814 DS821 DS814

The DS814 Link Board (Box) must be installed in the expansion box. It requires a free 16‑bit ISA slot in the expansion box.

The DS815 to be installed in the host PC (usually a notebook) is a PC Card, and requires a free PC card slot in the host PC.

The DS817 to be installed in the host PC is a PCI interface, and requires a free PCI slot in the host PC.

The DS819 to be installed in the host PC is a PCI Express x1 interface, and requires a free PCI Express slot (x1… x32) in the host PC.

The DS821 to be installed in the host PC (usually a notebook) is available in two variants:

n DS821‑54 mm, requires a free ExpressCard/54 slot in the host PC

n DS821‑34 mm, requires a free ExpressCard/34 slot or a free

ExpressCard/54 slot in the host PC

To use the DS821‑34 mm in an ExpressCard/54 slot, dSPACE highly recommends to improve lateral stability in the notebook slot by using an ExpressCard Kit. Contact dSPACE for further information.

DS1103 Hardware Installation and Configuration November 2014

dSPACE recommends to use the DS821‑34 mm only in combination with newer notebooks which provide a free ExpressCard/34 slot. If you use them with older notebooks (for example, which provide only ExpressCard/54 slots), your system might crash when you boot your notebook. To solve this problem, update the BIOS of your notebook.

It is highly recommended to use the DS821 Link Board only in combination with the dSPACE CardSafe. For details, refer to Using dSPACE CardSafe on page 65.

Setting Up a Peer-to-Peer Connection

How to Set Up a Peer-to-Peer Connection

Objective

A peer-to-peer connection between the host and client means that neither the host nor the client is connected to any other network.

You must carry out this step, even if you want to integrate the expansion box into an existing network. In that case the IP address of the expansion box must comply with the conventions of the network. So its default IP address (192.100.100.98) must be changed after setting up a peer-to-peer connection between the host PC and the expansion box.

Method

To set up and test a peer‑to‑peer connection

1 If the host PC is already part of an existing network, switch it off,

and disconnect it from the network.

DS1103 Hardware Installation and Configuration November 2014

Setting Up an Ethernet Connection Between PC and Expansion Box

2 Connect the expansion box to the host PC, using the supplied

crossed‑over patch cable.

For a peer-to-peer connection, the crossed‑over patch cable supplied with the expansion box must be used. If connecting to an existing network, for example, via a hub, a standard patch cable must probably be used. If you are uncertain, ask your network administrator.

3 Turn on the expansion box.

During booting, the expansion box beeps several times. The last beep sequence indicates whether the default IP address is active (three short beeps) or if the IP address has been changed by the user (one long beep). In the following it is assumed that the default IP address (192.100.100.98) is active.

4 Turn on the host PC.

The host PC will take longer to boot and will display error messages because of the missing connection to the network. Ignore these error messages for now.

The connection between the host PC and the expansion box can now be tested.

5 Open a Command Prompt window (DOS window): For example,

from the Start menu, choose Run ..., enter cmd and click OK.

6 Enter the command:

ping 192.100.100.98

address of the expansion box.

If the following message appears, the peer-to-peer connection is ready for use (the values vary on different computers and networks):

Pinging 192.100.100.98 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 192.100.100.98: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32 Reply from 192.100.100.98: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32 Reply from 192.100.100.98: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32 Reply from 192.100.100.98: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32

, which is the default IP

Next steps

n If the expansion box is used only in a peer-to-peer connection, the

network setup is now complete. Continue with the First Work Steps with a dSPACE System document.

n If the expansion box is to be used in an existing network, proceed

with How to Change the IP Address of the Expansion Box on page 88.

Solving problems

If any problem comes up when you set up a peer-to-peer connection, see Problems with Peer‑To‑Peer Connection on page 216.

Integrating the Expansion Box into a Network

Setup procedure

The following instructions show how to integrate an expansion box into an existing network step‑by‑step:

1. A peer-to-peer connection is needed temporarily to change the IP address of the expansion box. Refer to How to Set Up a Peer-to- Peer Connection on page 85.

2. The IP address of the expansion box must be changed to comply with the IP addresses used in the network. Refer to How to Change the IP Address of the Expansion Box on page 88.

3. After you have changed the IP address of the expansion box, you can restore the previous IP address of the host PC. Refer to How to Restore the TCP/IP Configuration of the PC on page 89.

4. Finish the work with How to Connect the Expansion Box to the Network and Test the Connection on page 90.

How to Change the IP Address of the Expansion Box

Setip utility

Preconditions

Method

To change the IP address, use the

<InstallationFolder>\exe

n Before trying to change the IP address, be sure that you

setip

utility located in

have tested the peer-to-peer connection to your expansion box via the ping command.

n The IP address of the expansion box can be changed

only if the old IP address is known and the host can connect to the expansion box. If the IP address of the expansion box is unknown, refer to IP Address lost on page 214.

To change the IP Address

1 Contact your network administrator to obtain an unused IP

address that you can use for the expansion box.

2 Open a Command Prompt window (DOS window): For example,

from the Start menu, choose Run ..., enter cmd and click OK.

3 Enter the command

setip <current IP address> <new IP

address>

The new IP address will be valid after rebooting the the expansion box.

Write down the new IP address of the expansion box. You will need it later to establish the connection.

Example

Next step

The default IP address of the expansion box is 192.100.100.98. The IP address assigned to the host PC for the peer-to-peer connection is

192.100.100.1. With these settings the host PC can connect to the expansion box as described in How to Set Up a Peer-to-Peer Connection on page 85. Assume that the IP address of the host PC was previously set to 183.27.33.14. The IP address to be used for the expansion box is 183.27.33.18.

In a Command Prompt window (DOS window), enter the command:

setip 192.100.100.98 183.27.33.18
