Conditions

Specifications are valid under the following conditions unless otherwise noted.

The AL-2010 module is mounted in a standard NI SLSC chassis. This chassis should conform to

the NI recommended cooling requirements and use a standard power supply that meets the

specifications provided in the chassis user guide. All aspects of the SLSC chassis should follow

NI guidelines.

Please Note - These specifications only apply to the product as provided by ALIARO.

Modifications to the module may invalidate these.

Caution - Observe all instructions, warnings and cautions in the board

documentation. Using the module in a manner not specified by this document can

damage the module and compromise the built-in safety protection. Return damaged

models to ALIARO for repair.

Overview

The AL-2010 (Bus Switch Board) board provides fault insertion on all common interfaces used in

a vehicle, it also provides enable or bypass for the bus signals to each Device Under Test (DUT).

The AL-2010 board is designed to fit National Instruments (NI) Switch Load Signal Conditioning

(SLSC) system together with corresponding computer interface boards and is delivered with

LabVIEW driver and a Custom Device for VeriStand.

The main purpose of the board is to be used for test and validation of Devices Under Test

(DUTs), testing for both software and hardware failures. This is usually done by incorporating the

board as part of Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) test system.

For easy board/system configuration, it is recommended to use the board alongside xMove

Configurator.

Description

The AL-2010 (Bus Switch Board) provides fault insertion on all common interfaces used in a

vehicle, both serial interfaces such as Ethernet, RS-232, RS-485 etc. and bus interfaces such as

CAN, LIN and Flexray. It is designed for applications where you need to control the bus

communication to a Device Under Test (DUT) as part of a test procedure.

Features

✓100V, 500mA per channel

✓4 independent bus channels

✓Multiplex bus signals across up to 4 channels (for example, output B1 to B2, 3 and/or 4)

✓Perform several types of fault insertion across all channels

✓8 independent serial channels

✓LabVIEW driver included

Detailed description

Four connectors are available on the front of the board (Connectors 1-4) to be connected to the

Device-Under-Test (DUT). This set of connectors comes with Bus specific functionality such as

fault insertion which shorts the two bus lines (+/-) together. These channels are referred to as

the Bus channels

AL-2010 also provides fault insertion for 8 serial (2-pair) communication channels (Channels S1-

S8). The communication channels are also wired to a piggyback area for adapters (optional)

used for Automotive Ethernet (additional hardware) or LIN sensor emulator.

As shown in the diagram below, the AL-2010 supports four bus channels (B1-B4), each

distributed to four DUT outputs.

As shown in the diagram below, the AL-2010 supports eight serial channels (S1-B8), each

distributed to a corresponding DUT output.

See fig 2, For the serial interfaces the AL-2010 provides fault insertion features such as:

•Connect / Opening circuits

•Shorting signals between Hi / Lo of the serial lines

•Fault insertion outputting Hi or Lo to axillary signals + / –

The boards features can be expanded further using the expansion area on the board, see the

example below.

Figure 3: AL-2010 Block diagram, Bus interfaces for Bus B1

See fig 1 and 3, the AL-2010 provides four buses, each of which can output signals to the four

DUT interfaces (B1-4) on the front of the board. The expansion area (marked B2_In in Figure 3),

allows an additional AL-2010 card to be connected. The buses outputs in that additional card,

can be linked by software to the outputs from the first AL-2010 board.

This functionality allows for a maximum of four boards to be connected in series and for one bus

to output to 16 DUT interfaces. Each bus can be terminated (120 ohm) at the end by software.

RTI Backplane

For communication between the AL-2010 and the bus communication board such as CAN, LIN,

FlexRay or any other serial bus you need to connect a RTI backplane to the SLSC chassis. The

AL-2010 works with the AL-2010 RTI backplane

Figure 6: AL-2010 Backplane

The RTI backplane support RJ-45 for Ethernet and Molex connector for the serial bus

connections.

electromagnetic noise or other interference.

To minimize interference with radio and television reception and prevent unacceptable

performance degradation, install, and use this product in strict accordance with the instructions

of the product documentation.

Furthermore, any modifications to the product not expressly approved by ALIARO may void your

warranty and your authority to operate it under your local regulatory rules.

Caution - To ensure the specified EMC performance, operate this product only with

Shielded cables and accessories.

Unpacking the module

The AL-2010 board ships in an antistatic box to prevent Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). ESD can

damage the device components. Users should be familiar with the steps to prevent ESD damage

when handling the device.

Warning - Never touch the exposed pins of the connectors.

To prevent ESD damage when handling the device, please take the following precautions:

-Ground yourself before handling. Use a grounding strap or by touching a grounded

object.

-Touch the antistatic package to a grounded metal part before removing the device from

the package. A good example would be the metal part of your computer chassis.

Remove the device from the package and inspect it for damages such as loose components.

Contact ALIARO if the device appears damaged in any way. Do not use a damaged device with

any other components. Store the device in antistatic protection when not in use.
