existing automation
systems
ETAS INCA-MCE supports rapid measure-
ment, calibration, and control at the test
bench by providing a real-time connection
to the ECU. INCA-MCE runs on the ETAS
ES910.3 module serving as a real-time
ECU interface. Either the standard real-
time EtherCAT® or the iLinkRT™ Ethernet
protocol can be deployed to connect
INCA-MCE with the test bench. Through
the use of these protocols, INCA-MCE
exchanges measurement and calibration
parameters addressed by name with the
test bench automation system in physical
representation. To communicate with the
ECU, INCA-MCE maps the names to ad-
dresses and transforms the data into
binary values.
Applications
The complexity of engine and transmission
control systems continuously increases.
Drivers are charging and downsizing of
engines, emissions and CO2 regulations,
as well as the growing number of vehicle
variants. As a consequence, the effort for
calibrating powertrain control systems is
growing while calibration projects have to
be completed in less time.
Frontloading of calibration tasks to earlier
phases of the development is a common
approach for mastering this challenge,
e.g., more and more calibration tasks are
moved from the vehicle to the test bench.
To increase efficiency and to perform tests
in transient operation modes of the engine,
new “rapid” measurement and calibration
methods are required. For calibration under
steady state conditions, test bench calibra-
tion setups utilizing today’s ASAP3 and
ASAM MCD-3 MC automation interfaces
are well suited. To support the dynamic
processes with an appropriate solution,
ETAS developed INCA-MCE.

Benefits of rapid measurement and
calibration methods and controls are:
— Stable test bench operation
— High data throughput reduces calibra-
tion time
— Calibration can be performed during
transient operating modes
— Improved quality of calibration data
and reproducible measurements
— Reduced stress for the engine under
test
To realize these benefits INCA-MCE
enables:
— Fast reaction time of the test bench and
calibration cycles in the millisecond range
— Reaction to violation of limits in real
time
— Continuous variation of calibration
parameters
— Multidimensional step excitements of
the system under test
INCA-MCE
The most obvious benefit of the INCA-MCE
solution is its outstanding measurement
and calibration performance when com-
pared to the standard ASAP3 and ASAM
MCD-3 MC test bed interfaces. Because
of this, the test bed automation system is
on the one hand able to continuously mon-
itor the engine’s behavior. On the other
hand, a closed control loop between the
test bench automation system and the
ECU can be established.
INCA-MCE leads to better control of the
calibration process, less interruptions of
test sequences due to the avoidance of
critical operation modes, and better quality
of calibration data. Combined with new
calibration methods like “predictive mea-
surement”, “continuous limit approach”,
and “slow dynamic slope”, calibration
efficiency is significantly increased.
In the INCA-MCE solution, the standard
measurement and calibration interface
hardware is replaced by the ES910.3 mod-
ule, an intelligent real-time interface hard-
ware. The ES910.3 executes time-critical
measurement and calibration functions
and enables fast access to the ECU.
At the same time, the ES910.3 module
can run control functions that are syn-
chronized via a bypass to the control unit.
The data conversion between the test bed
automation system and the ECU is done
through a real-time application running
on the ES910.3 module. Once configured
and started, the ES910.3 facilitates direct
communication between test bench auto-
mation and the ECU. Data exchange be-
tween the ECUs and the ES910.3 is done
via CCP, XCP-on-CAN, or the high perfor-
mance XETK/ETK interface.
iLinkRT™
iLinkRT™ is an open protocol specifically
developed by AVL and ETAS to provide
fast ECU access on Ethernet. iLinkRT™ is
based on a subset of measurement and
calibration commands of the XCP proto-
col. The key features of iLinkRT™ are:
— Application-specific command set
— Optimal performance
— Name-based, physical data representation
— Simultaneous handling of measure-
ment and calibration tasks
— Open protocol, based on automotive
XCP standard with multi-master and
multi-slave support
— Easy integration with test bench auto-
mation systems
EtherCAT®
EtherCAT® is a real-time automation bus
based on Ethernet. The open protocol is
defined by ISO and IEC standards. It is
maintained by the EtherCAT® Technology
Group which has more than 1500 compa-
nies as members. With regard to rapid
measurement and calibration access via
INCA-MCE, EtherCAT® provides similar
benefits as iLinkRT™.
Support and Consulting
INCA-MCE can be flexibly adapted to cus-
tomer-specific test systems and is already
supported by numerous test system solu-
tions. Examples are PUMA Open, CAMEO,
and IndiCom from AVL and MORPHEE
from D2T. With the extension iLinkRT™
Master COM-Server, ETAS provides a solu-
tion for executing measuring and calibra-
tion tasks by use of in-house or third-party
applications, such as INCA-FLOW or
MATLAB® can be run from iLinkRT™. On
request ETAS provides consulting and en-
gineering services for INCA-MCE. Current
information is available from ETAS or your
test system provider.
Outstanding measurement and calibration performance increases test bench automation efficiency.
INCA-MCE connects the ECU with test
bench automation systems in real time.
