Introduction
dSPACE prototyping systems' scalable hardware contains at least one powerful real-time processor to compute the new functions. Bypassing lets you combine the functions you are developing with existing ECUs. Sensors and actuators can be integrated via additional signal conditioning and power stage units. dSPACE prototyping systems are ideal for in-vehicle use. The hardware is integrated into the dSPACE prototyping systems' software and configured graphically. dSPACE prototyping systems give you a choice of three hardware platform types: MicroAutoBox, AutoBox, and RapidPro. You can use the RapidPro hardware for signal conditioning, power stages or intelligent I/O subsystems.

| MicroAutoBox is a powerful stand-alone system for function prototyping. |
MicroAutoBox's key strength is its combination of high computing power and comprehensive input/output interfaces, including typical signal conditioning. All in a very compact enclosure. MicroAutoBox can be installed almost anywhere in the vehicle cost-efficiently. MicroAutoBox offers variants with interfaces for all major automotive bus systems: CAN, LIN, K/L-Line, FlexRay, and (NEW) Ethernet-based interfaces.
|
| AutoBox's modularity means your hardware always fits your requirements precisely. |
If your main concern is scalability, and you would prefer to remain flexible with regard to processor power and input/output interfaces, AutoBox is the right hardware for you. AutoBox is a modular hardware system for test drives or test bench installation. It has a wide range of interface boards and processor boards for you to create your individual system.
|
| The RapidPro units can either be used individually or combined in a stack. They can be adapted to specific applications flexibly by means of modules. |
For the signal conditioning, power stages, and intelligent I/O subsystems that you need, you can use the RapidPro hardware and its corresponding software. With its compact, robust housing, the RapidPro hardware is ideally suited to both in-vehicle and test bench use. Its great selection of hardware- and software-configurable modules lets you reuse, reconfigure, and extend all the components in later projects, with a minimum of effort.
