<strong>ASAM</strong> ACI<br />

(Automatic Calibration Interface)<br />

Description<br />

When looking at cars over the last decade, we<br />

identify a rapid and still ongoing replacement<br />

of mechanic control mechanisms by<br />

Electronic Control Units (ECU). This<br />

replacement opened a mass of new<br />

opportunities to control the behaviour of car<br />

components or to operate them in a more<br />

sophisticated way. For example, the operation<br />

of a combustion engine is essentially<br />

influenced by regulations, according to<br />

regional emission laws. So it is the role of an<br />

engine ECU to continuously measure a lot of<br />

engine data (requested load, speed, fuel and<br />

air temperature, exhaust gas temperature,<br />

etc.) and to optimize in real time a set of<br />

engine control parameters. Figuring out the<br />

optimal control parameters as a function of<br />

many input parameters is a task, which can’t<br />

be done manually anymore.<br />

<strong>ASAM</strong> ACI defines interfaces between test<br />

stand automation systems and engine ECU<br />

optimization systems, which perform the<br />

optimization tasks. The optimization system<br />

configures via the ACI interface measurement<br />

tasks to be executed by the test stand<br />

automation system. ACI supports the<br />

measurement tasks by providing unified<br />

access methods to a variety of services within<br />

the automation system.<br />

Standard and current version<br />

The current version of <strong>ASAM</strong> ACI is V1.3.1;<br />

Prior versions like ACI V1.2 are upward<br />

compatible with the most recent version.<br />

Current activities<br />

During the year 2006, a major extension of the<br />

ACI standard was released with ACI V1.3. This<br />

new release was implemented in parallel with<br />

the “<strong>ASAM</strong> ACI V1.3 reference server”. The<br />

former standard ACI V1.2 was supporting<br />

steady state measurements, whereas the new<br />

standard ACI V1.3 now supports transient<br />

measurements. The activities in the year<br />

2007 will focus on a) maintaining ACI V1.3,<br />

and b) figuring out user use cases for<br />

extended transient measurements.<br />

<strong>ASAM</strong> ACI in the market<br />

The ACI specifications V1.2 and V1.3 are valid<br />

specifications in parallel, and they are<br />

implemented by various products and<br />

successfully in operation at OEM sites. The<br />

implemented ACI specifications are used in<br />

the domain of engine ECU calibration.<br />

Quality assurance<br />

The ACI group defined a certification process<br />

for servers. The basis of this process is a test<br />

catalogue implemented in terms of test cases.<br />

The test cases are executed by a test<br />

application, which generates a protocol about<br />

the result of each applied test case. The test<br />

application can also be used as test client by<br />

server developers. The test application is the<br />

property of <strong>ASAM</strong> e. V, and can be ordered<br />

from the <strong>ASAM</strong> office.<br />
