RapidPro SC Unit

Flexible signal conditioning unit

The RapidPro SC Unit, in conjunction with off-the-shelf SC modules or customer-specific modules, lets you adapt almost any type of sensor (temperature, pressure, crankshaft and camshaft sensors, etc.) to specific prototyping systems.

  • Signal conditioning (up to 8 module slots) for dSPACE prototyping systems
  • Easily adaptable to different sensor types via configurable modules
  • Wide supply range (6 V to 60 V), reverse and overvoltage-protected

Key Benefits

The RapidPro SC Unit is highly modular, flexible, intelligent, and especially designed for rapid control prototyping in automotive applications. It comes with a robust, compact enclosure and an advanced mechanical concept. It is suited not only for in-vehicle use, but also for the laboratory and the test bench. All inputs and outputs are automotive-protected. A RapidPro SC Unit can be equipped with single- and/or multi-channel SC modules that are mounted on the carrier board. The whole RapidPro SC Unit can be switched on or off from a dSPACE prototyping system via a remote control input, or all outputs can be deactivated via an enable/disable input. A USB interface is available for communicating with the host PC. dSPACE‘s ConfigurationDesk provides easy configuration of the unit and diagnostics handling.
