1. Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunications Automatic Test System for Mazda BSD Tx Chip Scientific coordinator: Prof.Dr.Ing. Mihaela Lascu Student: Gîdea Marius Iulian 1 Timioara, 2010

2. Project requirements:  Develop an automatic test system  Work in automotive temperature range  Use LabVIEW as programming language  ECUs tests and validations  Generate test reports  Easy to modify implemented tests 2

3. Automatic test system – block diagram 3

4. The test bench: 4

5. Personal contributions:  Implement the connecting cable in OrCAD 9.2  Develop the routing box  Create a map for test points  Design and build the nails adaptor 5

6. Personal contributions:  Nails adapter 6

7. Personal contributions:  Nails adapter 7

8. Personal contributions:  Routing box (front and back panel). 8

9. Personal contributions:  Develop the test software in LabVIEW (front panel) 9

10. Personal contributions:  Develop the test software in LabVIEW (block diagram) 10

11. Personal contributions:  Generate test reports  Run and optimize tests 11

12. Personal contributions:  Optimization of the testing times  Create VIs for measuring devices  Develop a CAN communication with the ECU using LabVIEW environment  Assemble the test bench 12

13. Mazda BSD Tx Chip  BSD – Blind Spot Detection  The device is a 24 GHz radar  It is mounted in the rear bumper of the car  Warns the driver when there are vehicles in the blind spot of the side-view mirror  Lane changing in the city and on highway becomes safer 13

14. Mazda BSD Tx Chip  How it works 14

15. Mazda BSD Tx Chip  PWM controlled antenna problem solved immediately using data acquired by the ATS 15

16. Conclusions:  Tests and validations of ECUs in short time  Complying automotive standards  High reproducibility for tests  Lower costs for next developed ATS 16
