Application of electricity for
automotive

Equipment to study basic automotive electricity.

Ref.: 9EQ300AA6C - 230 V Ref.: 9EQ300AA3C - 115 V

The purpose of this equipment is to familiarise students, in a

flexible way, with basic electricity in general and, more specifically,
its application in cars. The application can be used to analyse and
check different basic electric circuits as well as their components
without wasting any time on assembly and dismantling. The
configuration of the circuit to be analysed is carried out quickly
by means of connection bridges. The equipment enables also
the generation of faults in several of the circuit’s components.
However, if you want to extend some activities, the application
has a complementary circuit assembly board. This board enables
electric/ electronic elements to be interconnected (resistances,
capacitors, diodes, etc.) in a quick and easy way without the
need to solder the components, making it possible to reuse the
components for several different assemblies.

Equipment conceived to study different sensors, depending on technologies, types of regulation, capturing
parameters and means of transmission of information used in the different electrical electronic systems which
can be found at present in a vehicle. Thanks to these sensors the electronic systems receive information of the
physical and or chemical magnitudes necessary through the ECU in order to make the calculations required to
start the different actuators working. The actuators will be in charge of producing the physical variations which
make the different electromechanical components of the vehicle work. The equipment has 12 sensors, similar
to those actually used in the car (CKP-CMP-MAF- MAP etc.) through which and thanks to the combination
of different technologies used in their construction a high number vehicle sensors can be studied. Some of
the signal reception elements can be connected to the UCE ADA304 application, and along with the ADA305
actuator they make the equipment form a complete electronic control system.

ADA 304
ECU electronic control unit

Equipment for the study of electronic control

systems in a car

Ref.: 9EQ304AA6C - 230 V Ref.: 9EQ304AA3C - 115 V

Equipment to study how the electronic control unit (ECU) of a petrol engine works with a multipoint sequential
injection system and static ignition. The equipment enables, by means of a series of potentiometers, different
operation conditions to be simulated (amount and air mass, temperature, rpm, cooling temperature etc.) which
the ECU, depending on the programming, uses to carry out the necessary calculations and make the different
system actuators work (injectors, coils, air flow valve, electrofan, etc). Input and output signals can be adjusted
independently. Nevertheless, to avoid malfunctions (unlikely) on the injected system, an AUT mode has been
implemented where the sensor signals evolves depending on the programmed algorithm thus allowing the
student to quickly begin to understand how the injection system works. Similarly, it incorporates the auto-
diagnosis system which alongside the DD-Car software allows the student to become familiar with auto-
diagnosis techniques.

Ref.: 9EQ306AA6C - 230 V Ref.: 9EQ306AA3C - 115 V

The objective of this equipment is to familiarise the student with

data and multiplex networks. The information is transmitted by

latter mode allows analysis how the series data transmission,
employed in all multiplexed buses, operates in a simple and very
didactic way. In the real mode the two buses operate at real speed
(125 Kbits/sec for the CAN and 19200 bits/sec for the LIN) whilst
the slow mode can operate at 1 bits/sec or at 5 bits/sec. while
makes it easy to analyse the data which has been sent.

combined cycle hybrid vehicles.

Ref.: 9EQ307AAZC

The goal of this equipment is to get students to know hybrid vehicle technology. The application uses the most
efficient system on the market: the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV).
The application consists of a panel showing all the parts of a hybrid vehicle and a virtual instrument panel with
advanced functions for data generation, acquisition, and analysis.
This system is used to:
• Make conceptual studies in combined cycle PHEVs simulating the operation of a real vehicle on different
journeys and contexts.
• Assess high-voltage electricity flows.
• Analyse the power combination of an internal combustion engine and an electric motor/generator.
It includes an application developed with MATLAB/Simulink, the user manual, and practical exercises.

Interactive panel
The interactive panel has the same devices as a vehicle: start switch, accelerator, brakes, speed selector, A/C switch,
and off-board battery charge button (plug-in).
It reproduces the different stages in an engine operation cycle (electric motor, internal combustion engine) as well as
the battery pack status (charged, depleted, generator).
Two measuring positions, V1/V2, to check the parameters selected with the software:
• Battery pack charge level.
• Battery voltage.
• Battery charging current.
• Electric motor work voltage.
• Vehicle speed.

• Enable the reversal of the classic learning sequence,
replacing the component – circuit – application process
with that of application – circuit –component.
• Enable students to develop their malfunction diagnosis
and repair skills.
