Abstract

The electronic control module is the main control unit of any engine that is responsible for its functioning. Therefore, testing and verification of ECM software logic against various fault conditions are necessary. In the laboratory, these fault conditions are simulated manually, and tests are performed before testing on the real field. Manual test process has the disadvantage of taking longer time and more prone to observational errors. This chapter describes the automation process used to develop the automated test bench set-up. The hardware used are ECM, LUIS, digital FMET Box, wiring harness, CAN adapter and software tools for the automation of test sequences are NI TestStand, LUIS-GUI, and the testing or validation tool.
