MUXlab4

The MUXlab4 hardware platform is based on 32-bit microcontrollers (MPC5567) that include resources required for embedded applications: 8 analog, 12 frequency, and 24 digital inputs; 8 analog, 16 digital, and 8 PWM outputs; 5 ISO 11898 CAN interfaces with 2 configurable CAN with a high-speed or low-speed physical layer; and 2 LIN interfaces. Memory includes 2 MB of flash, 1 MB of SRAM, and 128 KB of saved RAM. Users can integrate MUXlab4 in electronic systems and validate it with standard protocols. It also offers sleep and wake-up capability for power management and event detection, flash memory access for context backup, CAN calibration protocol (CCP) for data acquisition, and parameter modification during run time.

MUXlab4 is designed for rapid prototyping of applications based on MATLAB^® and Simulink^® models. The package includes the hardware platform, the compiler, and a Simulink blockset. All the resources available on the hardware can be inserted in the Simulink model (I/O, CAN/LIN interfaces, and specific variables or parameters). Automatic code generated by Simulink Coder™ is downloaded into the hardware using a USB/CAN interface. Software included in the package provides access by CCP to the variables or parameters during run time. A calibration tool and application monitor interfaced by USB are also provided in standard package. Another form factor for the HIL system is available and includes fast Ethernet for system interfacing and configuration.
