- B the CAN (Controller Area Network), LIN (Local Interconnect Network), FlexRay and MOST.
- the measurement modules can also contain sensor signal inputs, analog / digital or digital I / O interfaces.
- the measurements may further include diagnostic interfaces on the controllers and analog or digital measurement modules.
- the parameters to be optimized in the control units are typically transmitted by special protocols on the vehicle buses or by the ETK. In addition, it may also be necessary in certain development applications that experimental components should be controlled or simulated.
- FIG. 1 shows a plan view of a motor vehicle 1 with a rapid prototyping unit 2 for the function code of control units which have a plurality of expandable measuring and control units Includes interface modules.
- the unit 2 is networked with different systems and components of the vehicle 1, on the one hand to control this, on the other hand, to measure variables.
- measuring sensors 3 and 3 ', control units 4 and 5 and a plurality of vehicle buses 6 (FlexRay), 6' (LIN), 6 "(CAN 1) and 6 '" (CAN 2) are shown here.
- a data analysis of the measured variables is taken.
- the maximum interfaces of such a unit 2 are 4 x ETK, 15 x CAN, 1 x MOST, 3 x FlexRay and 1 x Ethernet for connecting the modules to each other.
- a module is needed, which can be easily adapted to the respective inputs and outputs required and the measured quantities forwarded to a PC tool forwards.
- the size of the modules due to the installation space and cost reasons should be adaptable to the particular application.
- the mechanical robustness is also an important factor for such applications, especially with regard to vibration, temperature and dust.
- a measuring and interface module having a housing which has a first plug-in device which on the one hand comprises a first hook-shaped projection and on the other hand a pivotable latching cover, and the first jump and the lid located in an opening position form a receptacle for latching and clamping a further measuring and interface module.
- An essential point of the measuring and interface module is that a stable but also a large frame becomes superfluous for the safe insertion of the module.
- the size of interconnected modules over the development cycle and networked system functions as they will in future be created by the Autosar initiative to standardize interfaces between product manufacturers and their suppliers, optimally adaptable.
- an application as a logger module via a diagnostic interface with such an approach can be covered.
- Such a pluggable module is also simple, fast and so firmly connected that it withstands even external influences such as vibrations in the harsh environment of test vehicles.
- the housing has an increase for generating a resistance element against the inclusion of a further measuring and interface module in the first plug-in device, and both modules are braced against each other with this moment of resistance.
- Such an increase represents a particularly simple and reliable way to generate a voltage between the two modules.
- no specially trained latching lid or a specially shaped projection must be provided, which would be more complicated, but in principle also possible.
- the housing has a second plug-in device which comprises on the one hand a second hook-shaped projection and on the other hand a latching surface, wherein the second projection and the latching surface for latching and clamping the module in a similar receptacle of another measuring and
- Interface module are formed.
- the module with two similar modules can be connected, which increases the expandability of a module stack.
- a socket is provided on the module for electrical connection with another module, which, in addition to a mechanical connection, also enables electrical connection of the modules. It is advantageous if the socket is released against the outside world in the open position of the locking cover and covered in a closed position of the lid against the outside world. The module and the electrical connection are thus protected against damage by harsh environmental influences such as moisture and dirt.
- the module can also have a plug for electrical connection to a complementary socket, which allows the electrical coupling to a still further module.
- Such a connection is particularly easy to insert when the socket is mounted on a floating caliper.
- guide pins and complementary recesses may be formed on the housing of the module.
- the mechanical strength of such a connection produced between modules is increased by a screw connection between locking cover and locking surface.
- This effect can be enhanced by a long contact surface of the hook-shaped projection on a complementary projection.
- the projections are therefore preferably formed as a fold.
- a particularly good expandability of a module is achieved by providing its own power supply and / or temperature cooling is provided. This eliminates the need for a large power supply module that must cover the maximum current of an array of mated modules and is therefore very large or limits expandability. Due to their self-sufficient power supply and temperature cooling, the number of pluggable modules is almost unlimited.

- the stated object is additionally achieved by a method for connecting two
- the one latching lid of the first module is opened and a hook connection between the two modules is moved around which the modules are moved against each other, that the detent cover of the first module locked to a complementary locking surface of the second module and both modules mitein- other braced.
- An essential point of the method according to the invention is the simplicity in which a module can be supplemented or removed with a few steps. As a result, the provisioning time for a desired measurement and / or test system for control units is significantly shortened, which in turn benefits their faster development and / or adaptation for or on vehicles.
- the latching cover and the latching surface can be screwed against each other, which contributes to a further mechanical reinforcement of the connection between two modules.
