DS6101 Multi-I/O Board

SCALEXIO I/O board with signal conditioning for automotive systems

The DS6101 provides a large variety of I/O functions and can be used to generate and measure typical automotive signals. This makes the DS6101 ideal for applications with extensive I/O requirements.

  • 69 channels with comprehensive I/O functions
  • Signal conditioning for signal levels of 12-V, 24-V, and 48-V automotive systems
  • Ideally suited for engine, powertrain, and vehicle dynamics applications 

Application Areas

The DS6101 comprises a large variety of I/O functions needed for hardware-in-the-loop simulation and can be used for generating and measuring typical automotive signals. This makes the DS6101 ideally suited for applications with extensive I/O requirements. For failure simulation, you can connect additional hardware to your system. The same holds true for bus communication. There you can use the DS2671 Bus Board  or the DS6301 CAN/LIN Board.

Key Benefits

The DS6101 Multi I/O board offers 69 I/O channels for voltage-related functions, including analog, digital, resistance, and special input/output groups, for example for lambda probe simulation. The integrated signal conditioning is tailored to automotive project requirements, such as voltages of 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V.

I/O Functionality

The DS6101 provides 33 I/O functions that are supported by different I/O channels. They are defined and configured graphically with dSPACE ConfigurationDesk.
