Engine Simulation Toolkit Feedback

[HervéM]

hello Stephen,

I try to use your project, so I have create a bitfile for my target :

I have insert it in my veristand project and create some signals :

when I deploy it on the target, I have this error :

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The VeriStand Gateway encountered an error while deploying the System Definition file.

Details:
Error -2558 occurred at Project Window.lvlib:Project Window.vi >> Project Window.lvlib:Command Loop.vi >> NI_VS Workspace ExecutionAPI.lvlib:NI VeriStand - Connect to System.vi

Possible reason(s):

LabVIEW:  Le stockage de données n'a pu être ouvert Vérifiez que vous avez choisi le DataPlugin approprié pour ce format de fichier.
(Data storage could not be open Check that you chose suitable DataPlugin for this file format)

=========================
NI VeriStand:  _openDataStorage.vi

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

_openDataStorage.vi and _createXmlString.vi are break an lock, so I cannot see the error.

Do you know where could be come this error?

Hi HereveM,

The error is happening while trying to open your analog replay file. Can you give some more information about this file? What data plugin are you using to load the file? You can see this by going to your analog replay and selecting load data. Data plugin setting is in the top right.

Hi Sephen,

The probleme is solved, I didn't ad a file.

I start with the custom device and I didn't undersand this part.

Now it's work, thank for your help.

Hi Stephen,

I saw you on the PSA Site Belchamp the last year.

I valid motor controls with LAbview RT and FPGA.

I integrated the toolkit and it works perfectly, but there are functionalities that i don't find in this toolkit.

And particularly the management of the SENT protocol in slave mode to simulate the pressure and oil temperature , low pressure and fuel temperature.

Have you planned to add this protocol has the toolkit because SENT has become a standrad in the automotive market?

Thank you in advance

Best Regards

Hi Emmanuel,

Yes I remember! That was a great trip.

I'm glad to hear the functionality provided works well. Thanks for the feedback.

I don't have plans to integrate SENT into this toolkit, but it could be in a new custom device. If you contact your local NI representative they can start the process of planning this out.

Thank you

Hi Stephen,

Ok i understand.

So il it possible to use the same FPGA board (7853R) for this toolkit and another custom device for SENT?

If yes, do you have an example of a custom device?

Thank you in advance

Emmanuel

Hi Emmanuel,

Yes the same FPGA can be used for a variety of different things.

There is no existing SENT custom device I can provide you. There is some FPGA code for it though: http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/211171

If you get in touch with your local NI engineers they should be able to get the processes started to address your needs.

Thank you

Hi Stephen,

I would know where we could find the source of the Engine Simulation Toolkit.

I have tried to open the Engine.llb but I am not able to visualize the diagram.

I would just check the method you use to access the FPGA varaiables because we have seen an important jitter in our VeriStand application when we use the data logging (for information, each time we start a data logging, we have a cyclic jitter (around every 300ms) and the jitter value is dependent of the number of data to record).

As in our application we have a inline custom device which access to the FPGA by reference, I would verify that we are using the good method.

Hello Hubert,

You can find the source code for the Engine Simulation Toolkit custom device on GitHub.

Hello Lynn,

Is there a specific reason why we don't put the link to the GitHub by default on the Add On page in the Open Source section?

Kind Regards,
