Hardware
ORANGEWIRE’S xIL PRODUCTS PROVIDE A COMPLETE SOLUTION FOR TEST AND EVALUATION OF CYBER PHYSICAL, CONNECTED INFRASTRUCTURE and v2x ARCHITEctures. OUR MODULAR COMPONENTS PROVIDE FLEXIBILITY AT THE COMPONENT, DRAWER AND RACK LEVELS, ALLOWING FOR TESTING ACROSS THE ENTIRE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT LIFECYCLE.
Product Applications
OrangeWire’s products are cost-effective by design and allow for the rapid development of simulation and test equipment for a wide range of xIL applications:
Open and closed loop xIL Test and Evaluation (T&E) of complex HW-SW systems
Validation and Verification (V&V) of networked systems of embedded controllers, sensor networks, edge computing devices
Communications bus testing
Product features
The product portfolio incorporates a variety of features that promote flexibility and ease of use:
External signal references are maintained throughout the architecture
Components are interchangeable within the SLSC chassis
Components are designed for interoperability
Modularity at the component and drawer level allows highly configurable and cost optimized integrated systems
Labor is minimized during integration due to standard connectivity and cabling
IO, load, FIU and monitoring solutions are optimized for different applications
Technical Details
The Orangewire DET is based on the National Instruments’ 12-slot SLSC chassis. The integrated DET design provides signal and power bus continuity through the chassis, and allows for connectivity with National Instruments PXI and cRIO products from the rear.
Signal and power routing is achieved through four bus lines, which are carried through the HIL backplane. The backplane additionally provides an intelligent communications bus for system control. Chassis to chassis expandability is achieved through deterministic Ethernet or reflective memory, allowing systems to scale from desktop to large integration test racks.
The SLSC architecture from NI accommodates up to twelve (12) interchangeable load, signal conditioning, or failure insertion boards. The design allows optimized, application targeted chassis to be constructed from a broad catalog of SLSC compliant hardware.
