The new version expands MESSINA’s range of functions and integration options as a test platform for the development of automobile electronics. Thanks to the new FMI (Function Mockup Interface), models in various modeling languages can be integrated into the MESSINA Windows test environment. In this way functions and systems can be automatically tested with complex environments – even in the early stages.
A further innovation in version 3.9 is the EtherCAT connection. With its aid developers can now use this well-established standard to develop ECUs as well.
The rapidly increasing number of EtherCAT components and the network protocol enable decentralised, real-time signal detection.
This real-time standard has already proven its worth in automation technology, as it’s highly scalable, simple to use, and cost-effective. It is also increasingly being recognised in the automotive test industry, while additionally providing developers in this field with greater flexibility when selecting hardware.
