CarMaker/HIL

Continuity with maximum performance

The simulation solutions are equally developed for office and HIL applications and perfectly meet the requirements of both. IPG's experience of building-up numerous HIL test benches is continuously introduced into the software.

From the ECU HIL ...
... to the network HIL ...
... to the virtual test driving on dynamic engine and powertrain test rigs.


You profit from a seamless and optimally suited simulation platform: For concept design and testing, simulation on ECU and network HIL systems as well as virtual test driving on dynamic engine and powertrain test rigs. Regardless of the development phase, you work with the same tools, models, parameters and test scenarios using a robust, fast and productive development and testing process.

Key benefits
  • Seamless and optimally suited simulation platform
  • You can work with the same tools during the testing process.
  • From ECU to network HIL
  • virtual test driving on dynamic engine and powertrain test rigs
  • robust, fast and productive


Online interfaces to Hardware-in-the-loop applications

The HIL packages Car-Truck- and MotorcycleMaker/HIL contain the same functionality as the Office version of the software plus additional functions for the real-time testing of ECUs and vehicle components. This real-time extension includes tools which allow you to control and monitor the HIL simulation out of the maneuver control during the test runs.

ECU diagnosis tools and flash utility

Different diagnosis interfaces (e.g. CAN, FlexRay, K-Line) to the failure memory of the ECUs are provided. You can read out, reset or delete the failure memory. Besides, you have read and write access to further areas of the ECU to read measurement values, modify application parameters or program the ECU flash.


Access to internal ECU data

with CCP and XCP

Internal variables of ECUs that are connected to the HIL test bench by bus systems like CAN, Ethernet, FlexRay or LIN can be measured due to a direct CCP and XCP access from TruckMaker to the ECU parameters.


FailSafeTester control

Electrical faults such as cable breakage, loose contacts, corrosion, short circuits and leakage current can be inserted interactively and in real-time.


Customize your development environment!

In addition to the standard tools in TruckMaker, you can easily design and extend the simulation tools according to your individual needs. Generate arbitrary user interfaces, instruments or user panels - intuitive and adapted to your tasks! The library for the design of user defined displays contains e.g. tacho displays, number blocks, control lights, switches and buttons, bar displays and slices.
