Development and Testing Tools
Offering a complete, future-proof hardware platform, TTControl has invested heavily in making the development process for its end customers as easy and efficient as possible. This means offering an adequate development environment for users of differing levels of programming expertise. So for most products we offer CoDeSys as integrated development environment that has a compiler and debugger built-in, also allowing download of the compiled code through an Ethernet or CAN connection. More advanced software developers can also program most of our control units and operator terminals in ANSI C, and we provide corresponding support and tooling as well as advice concerning recommended compilers and debuggers.
The following table summarizes the available development tools:
| Product | Programming | Simulation | Testing and Debugging |
| HY-TTC 50 Family | CoDeSys 2.3 C programming (info on recommended compiler on request) | CoDeSys | CoDeSys 2.3, Lauterbach Power Debug Interface / USB 2 LA-7708 and Debug Module LA-7759 ICD for XC2000 V2 |
| HY-TTC 200 Family | CoDeSys 2.3 C programming (info on recommended compiler on request) Auto-coding (MATLAB RT-Encoder) | MATLAB (with dedicated toolboxes) and CoDeSys | CoDeSys 2.3, Lauterbach Power Debug Interface / USB 2 LA-7708 and Debug Modul LA-7722 for MPC555/800 + our adapter-board |
| HY-Vision/HY-eVision | CoDeSys 2.3 C programming | CoDeSys | CoDeSys |
| HY-eVision2 | CoDeSys 3.x | CoDeSys | CoDeSys 3.x |
For comfortable wiring of different options and for advanced testing we offer a range of tools:
a) The TTControl Connector Interface is available for both controller families (HY-TTC 50 and HY-TTC 200). It is a simple hardware solution that allows the quick exchange of connected inputs and outputs and can thus aid debugging efforts.
b) Our new Break-out-Box is a more sophisticated, portable hardware solution that is particularly effective in helping you to debug on the vehicle as the vehicle's existing wiring harness can be connected and input and output values can easily be measured. Available for the HY-TTC 50 family of ECUs.
c) TTControl's highly customized test and simulation bench is an extremely effective solution if you are working on various projects and need flexible, software-configurable hardware-in-the-loop testing. Modules are inserted into the station for each input and output, so users can order just the set-up they need. (Available for all controllers)
