DS2690 Digital I/O Board

MultiCompact I/O board for vehicle body scenarios

The DS2690 is used in SCALEXIO hardware-in-the-loop simulators for signal measurement as well as signal generation. It provides digital I/O channels, such as Digital In, PWM In, Digital Out, and PWM Out. 

  • 30 digital I/O channels
  • Onboard failure routing unit
  • Attractive price

The DS2690 offers digital channels that are either predefined for signal measurement or signal generation, or can be individually configured for either.

Application Area

The DS2690 Digital I/O Board is the tailored SCALEXIO solution for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation of body electronics ECUs. Vehicle body applications such as electric window lift and windscreen wipers require many high-current digital I/O channels, as well as the ability to simulate failures. Together with a SCALEXIO system, the DS2690 is galvanically isolated.

Key Benefits

The DS2690 offers a large number of dedicated digital I/O channels for signal generation and measurement. Their supported I/O functionalities cover exactly the ones needed for body electronic ECUs. Real loads can be connected to each channel individually. An onboard failure routing unit (FRU) enables failure simulation on all channels.

I/O Functionality

The DS2690 offers digital channels that are either predefined for signal measurement or signal generation, or can be individually configured. Channels for signal measurement and generation are usable as

  • Digital In
  • PWM In or Digital Out
  • PWM Out

The signal types and channel bundling are configured with ConfigurationDesk.

Real Loads for Real Currents

Testing ECUs under realistic circumstances sometimes requires real currents, so real loads can be connected externally. Substitute loads are available internally as well.
