DEAR READER,
In the 2009 issue of our ASAM Solutions Guide, we
talked about the global financial crisis within the auto
industry, the scramble for new strategies, and the continued
challenges that car companies are dealing with
in trying to rapidly bring new technologies and features
to differentiate themselves from the competition to sell
cars All these factors, including many more, drove our
Board to look inwards at our core business strategy
and initiate some deep discussions as to how we fit in
with the business climate of today
With the help of an outside consultant, ASAM was able
to develop a strong Vision, which yielded the core Benefits
ASAM provides We think these are very important
statements, as if we ever feel like we are straying
from our track, we can continually come back and be
reminded of what our intentions and purpose are
The Vision of ASAM is strongly expressed in these four
statements below:

association for the standardisation
of automation and measuring systems
The current difficult economic conditions continue
to have a major impact on the global automobile
industry Automotive manufacturers
are being forced to seek out new ways to cut
costs while at the same time increasing electronic
content to deliver new features to consumers
Standards-based solutions can contribute
to the both of these goals by making it
Electronics continues to propel innovation in
automotive design Steady increases in electronic
content provide exciting new functionality
but at the same time open the door to new
potential points of failure The number of microprocessors
in each year’s models is growing
and every electronic component needs to
Each increase in vehicle functionality leads to
an exponential increase in testing requirements
because of the need to ensure that the
new capabilities mesh perfectly with existing
equipment Automotive manufacturers are increasing
testing functionality through the use
of Computer Aided Testing (CAT) cells made
up of equipment and software from multiple
suppliers A typical test cell might consist of a
test automation system that controls all of the
equipment, a dynamometer or emissions test
stand that interfaces with the vehicle, an au-
ASAM is short for Association for Standardisation
of Automation and Measuring Systems
The association was founded in December
1998 as an initiative of German car manufacturers
The association provides standards
for data models, interfaces and syntax specifications
for a variety of applications, such as
testing, evaluation and simulation ASAM also
provides an efficient and professional project
Substantial savings can be obtained by the standardization
of the interfaces between the manufacturers,
OEMs and system suppliers ASAM
has defined a set of standards in the field of
easier to integrate low-cost off-the-shelf solutions
in unique ways to provide cutting edge
features to customers ASAM standard interfaces
and protocols help automobile manufacturers
survive and thrive in these difficult times
by enabling your engineering team to deliver
the features that customers want while driving
down costs
function in perfect harmony with all the others
The media and the market are ready to brutally
punish any lack of reliability Standardization

components and subsystems while at the same
time continuing to support, diagnose, and service
all previous technical combinations
tomated calibration system that runs through
many different possible values for the set
points of the computers used to control the
engine and transmission, instruments that
measure the behavior of the vehicle, and soft-
ware used to analyze and visualize powertrain
performance Standardization can dramatically
reduce the amount of time and money required
to develop the interfaces between all
of this different equipment and software and
to maintain these interfaces even while testing
requirements continue to expand

of ASAM standards ASAM is a registered association
(e V ) with the head office located
near Munich, Germany, and a North American
office (LLC) located in Royal Oak, (near Detroit)
Michigan, and currently has more than
100 members from the Automotive OEM,
TIER1 and tool supplier communities, as well
as universities and personal members

processes independent of manufacturer, operating
system and selected technology Apart
from their long-term applicability the goal was

The vision of ASAM is that standards enable
products that can be freely interconnected
with seamless data interchange
also the simple migration of the standards into
existing and new products
Manufacturers can utilize ASAM standards that
are more completely developed than what a
single company could accomplish, and at a lower
cost because it is shared by a large number
of companies Savings can be achieved in the
purchase and maintenance of test, production,
inspection, and diagnostic equipment because
ASAM standards will allow different equipment
and software to work together with new electronic
components without modification for a
longer period of time ASAM also offers many
advantages to suppliers of components, systems,
and equipment Instead of developing

AnD uSE Of COnTROLLERS
Not only must the interface to the electronic vehicle
measurement devices be standardized, but
also their data description formats and application
interfaces must be standardized To this end,
ASAM defines a complete set of standards:
MCD-1 defines the connection of an ECU to
a Computer or a measurement or data logging
device This connection can be established
via different transport layers
MCD-2 defines different symbolic description
standards for ECU access or Network data
The standards summarized in the MCD-2
standard family are known in the market as
ASAP2, ODX and FIBEX
MCD-3 defines an object-oriented API between
of a so-called MCD system MCD
systems might provide M(easurement)-,
C(alibration)- or D(iagnostics)-functionality
or any combination of these functionalities
The MCD-3 API is used by test automation
client systems typically
01 section
their products with separate interfaces for each
manufacturer, suppliers can now build products
to ASAM standards that can be used by
the many manufacturers that support ASAM
Following the ASAM standards give suppliers
a competitive advantage in selling to the many
large manufacturers, such as General Motors,
Daimler, Volkswagen, BMW, and others that
have adopted the standards A spreading cooperation
with ISO (International Standardization
Organization) provides for long-term
stability of ASAM basic standards and secures
the investments of the vehicle manufacturers,
the system suppliers and the application
manufacturers
MSR defines methods for data exchange between
controller suppliers and vehicle manufacturers
systems The following standards
were developed in this domain:
CC stands for Container Catalog and describes
the meta information of engineering data
(e g configuration management info) at exchange
between repositories or tools
CDf stands for Calibration Data Format and
describes a format for the exchange of ECU
calibration data
fSX stands for Functional Specification Exchange
Format and describes functional specification
data of ECU Software functions
hIL stands for Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation
The new HIL API defines an API for
ECU Testing via Simulation
ISSuE describes an electronic exchange for
change requests and problem reports

MBfS stands for Model Based Function Specification
and is a tool and technology independent
standard library of blocks for ECU
software applications which can be used by

ASAM GDI - PLuG & PLAy STAnDARD
fOR DEvICES AnD SySTEMS
ASAM GDI makes it possible to connect devices
and subsystems simply and smoothly with test
automation systems In this standard the capability
of the equipment regarding its communication
is available in an electronically readable
form (DCD) To achieve genuine Plug & Play
the different device classes were defined in a
Companion standard (e g Crash Measuring
Technique, Exhaust Analyzer, Dynamometer,
many channel measuring instruments ) The
GDI standard is platform independent because
of the specified platform adapter for each operating
system The coordinator with its API
can connect to several devices simultaneously
The GDI standard supports real time systems
and uniform integration scenarios
ASAM ACI - AuTOMATIC CALIBRATIOn
AnD OPTIMIzATIOn
Increasing device complexity requires the use
of an ever larger family of device characteristics
which increases the time to determine this family
of characteristics For electronic controllers,
such as the engine and/or the transmission
controllers, this procedure is called calibration
In order to produce an automatic population
of the field parameters, optimization software
at the test stand is used The data from each
operating point is communicated to the automation
system where software can determine
the device characteristic values The interface
between optimization software and automation
system was standardized by ASAM The
ACI interface makes it possible to combine the
available optimization systems and the independent
automation systems
ASAM CEA - SOfTWARE COMPOnEnTS
fOR AnALySIS AnD GRAPhIC DISPLAy
In the field of test stand technology, there are
many software packages for the analysis of the
measurement results Automatic evaluation
of the data and special result computations
are required ASAM with the CEA standard
meets these general requirements allowing the
use of independent analysis software systems
The CEA standard comprises a framework that
implements a CEA bus and compatible components
The CEA standard is platform independent
and uses a component structure to
allow functionality determination
ASAM ODS - DATA InTELLIGEnTLy STORED
AnD RETRIEvED
ASAM ODS methods permit a uniform modeling
of application data structures, without prescribing
the physical file layout In addition, the
ODS standard defines a base data model, in
which the necessary application elements are
described Using the basic model, application
orientated data models can be described The
ODS standard describes a set of methods for
applications to transparently access the data
These methods in server software allow applications
to physically read, interpret and write
data files (files, data bases ) The basis is always
the application model associated with the
data file, which is at the ODS users disposal
A file-oriented exchange can be made by ATF
(ASAM transport format) between applications
and or servers ODS provides not only for the
model-independent connection of arbitrary
applications, but also for the long-term reliability
of the data over varying technologies

The ASAM organization was created with the
goal of offering a platform for the development
of universal standards The end users
of the standards (OEM and system suppliers)
put in their requirements and members from
both OEM and TIER1, as well as tool suppliers
and universities work to develop and maintain
the standards through the advisement of the
ASAM Board and a Technical Steering Committee
(TSC) All ASAM members working in
industry have the opportunity to actively exert
influence on the development of the standards
The TSC is a group of delegates elected bi-annually
from the ASAM membership who evaluate
technical proposals, as well as ongoing projects
from the point of market relevance and
general usage as they relate to ASAM From
these actions, the goal is to have a competitive
standards portfolio which fulfills market
needs and helps to grow the ASAM standards
acceptance within the automotive industry, as
well as other applicable markets The circle of
delegates, plus additional contributing participants
shall meet together in a general meeting,
called a TSC meeting, at least three times
a calendar year, in addition to other schedule
web conferences and Forum discussions (as
needed) The Technical Steering Committee
(TSC) covers the two areas of operation of
ASAM e V : AE (Automotive Electronics) and
CAT (Computer Aided Testing)
The Board of Directors regulates the interests
of ASAM on the strategic level and is the highest
escalation level in the business operations
of ASAM The highest decision-making body of
ASAM e V is its Members Meeting
The central coordination role comes from the
two ASAM offices in Europe and the USA
Here the information is gathered and fed into
the different committees Apart from the financial
and project management the “Office” is
responsible for member support and the marketing
of ASAM and its standards
01 section
ASAM members have shifted their activities
from the development of the standards to projects
and the development of products The
commitment of the different Project and Maintenance
groups, as well as other committees
of ASAM is efficiently creating new market segments
and synergies with a high quality level
Innovation is constantly providing new challenges
and opportunities for ASAM members
The integration of MSR (Manufacturer Supplier
Relationship), ASAM AE MCD-2 NET (FIBEX-
Field Bus Exchange Format) and ASAM AE HIL
API (API for ECU Testing via Hardware-in-the-
Loop Simulation) are some prominent examples
of topics brought into its organization
ASAM cooperates closely with other organizations,
e g the MOST Cooperation (FIBEX-
4MOST), CAN in automation (CIA) and the
International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) With the establishment of an office in
Royal Oak, Michigan, USA (2005), and the
newly established representative in Pune, India
(2007), ASAM has created more support to
advance its standards worldwide

Based on the practical experience with the
predecessor protocol CCP, which was limited
to the CAN bus, the new protocol family XCP
was developed XCP stands for Universal Measurement
and Calibration Protocol Family
All transport layer specific standardization aspects
were separated from the generic protocol
issues Several transport layer specifications
exist, such as CAN, Ethernet, Sxl, USB and
FlexRay
Important for the success of the XCP standard
are also the functional enhancements in comparison
to CCP, such as features for bypassing
ECU internal functions in Rapid Control Prototyping

new format specification for embedded
A2L-files
Now it is possible to compress embedded
A2L-Files
This is very helpful for XCP measurement
devices in order to support ‚Plug & Play‘
Compatibility to XCP version 1 .0 .0
All new features are optional! It is not necessary
for a running XCP communication,
that the XCP tool and the XCP slave must
have the same version

of diagnostic request and response messages as
well as decoding and encoding information for
conversion of message parameters from hexadecimal
to physical representation Furthermore,
ODX can capture information about the
topology of the on-board ECU network and the
pin-out of the vehicle fitted diagnosis connectors
Last not least, ODX provides description
elements for ECU reprogramming, flash data
and session handling The seamless exchange of
data between different partners and tools in the
process chain is a major progress supported by
ODX

ASAM MCD-3 is an Application Programming
Interface (API) for automotive server software
applications This standard is split into 2
different areas: MCD-3 MC provides domain
specific functionalities for measurement (M)
and calibration (C) MCD-3 D provides domain
specific functionalities for diagnostics (D)
Both standards define common functionalities,
e g for project and database handling Technology
references for COM (MCD), Java (D) and
C++ (D) can be provided to help implement
the standard interfaces The diagnostic part of
ASAM MCD-3 is a joint effort with ISO, the
International Standards Organization, and will
therefore also be published as ISO 22900-3

engineering departments, development departments,
and after-sales departments: they can all
rely on modern diagnostic equipment based on
the standards ASAM MCD-3 D, ASAM MCD-2
D (ODX), and ISO 22900-2 (MVCI D-PDU
API) The MCD-3 MC standard can be found in
ECU calibration tools and test automation tools
ASAM MCD-3 MC is predominantly used for
new projects, such as auto-calibration scenarios
or COM-based test automation applications

DESCRIPTIOn
A typical Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulator
today has not only to provide interfaces for
the real-time simulator itself Also a wide range
of external functionalities needs to be remotecontrolled
In general a standardized API has
to be developed for all of these functionalities
listed below:
Model Access, i e the capability to write, read
and measure simulator internal variables,
ECU Access, i e the capability to write, read
and measure ECU internal variables, Stimulator
functionality, i e the option to describe
and evaluate real-time capable stimulation
sequences, DIAG Access, i e , the feature set
to remote-control 3rd party ECU diagnostic
tools, e g to use failure memory management
options, FIU Access, the capability to control
electrical failure injection systems, to be used for
short circuits, set to battery voltage or ground
potential, open connection, etc for ECU pins,
Network Access, i e the option to read and
write signal values on the automotive network
systems, such as CAN, LIN, FlexRay in a symbolic
form, A Test Framework which serves as a
central infrastructure to handle all variables related
to their specific formats (ASAM MCD-2
MC, ASAM MCD-2 D (ODX), ASAM MCD-2
(Fibex, DBC)) This framework also provides
the means for the parameterization of the test
bench itself
A description and modelling method should be
used, which was also applied successfully in the
ASAM MCD-3 project:
The modelling of the generic, technology independent
functionalities in UML (Enterprise Architect)
and automated generation of related
interface references for the most important
interface technologies
The most important interface technologies for
this application area are NET (as C# interfaces),
the Open Source script language Python
and Java At least for these four technologies,
interface references are provided They are
generated by means of a tool which automates
Enterprise Architect If there is the need for additional
interface references they can be added
without any influence on the generic model or
already existing references
With regard to list Model Access and ECU Ac-
cess, it needs to be mentioned that an almost
identical API modelling is to be aimed for Furthermore,
the reuse of model parts of ASAM
MCD-3 is intended
But in general it needs also to be emphasized,
that ASAM MCD-3 MC and ASAM MCD-3
D cannot be applied directly for the HIL use
cases because of their complexity and abstract
definition Therefore, there is the need for
Hardware-in-the-Loop and ECU test oriented
convenience layers

DESCRIPTIOn
When looking at cars over the last decade,
we identify a rapid and still ongoing replacement
of mechanic control mechanisms by Electronic
Control Units (ECU) This replacement
opened a mass of new opportunities to control
the behavior of car components or to operate
them in a smarter way For example, the
operation of an internal combustion engine is
essentially influenced by regulations, according
to regional emission laws So it is the role
of an engine ECU to continuously measure a
lot of engine data (requested load, speed, fuel
and air temperature, exhaust gas temperature,
etc ) and to optimize in real time a set of engine
control parameters Figuring out the optimal
control parameters as a function of many
input parameters is a task, which can hardly be
done manually anymore
ASAM ACI defines interfaces between test
stand automation systems and engine ECU
optimization systems, which perform the optimization
tasks The optimization system configures
via the ASAM ACI interface measure-

ASAM CEA describes interfaces, data items and

Due to the generic definitions, a wide range
of applications may be covered by the CEA
concept: desktop or web based data post-processing,
automated reporting, interactive analysis,
life visualization of processes, data management
systems, and more
A CEA based system can be used as a standalone
program, but the main benefit occurs
when CEA is used for strategic companywide

DESCRIPTIOn
ASAM GDI was developed for the operating
system independent integration of measurement
and control devices into applications The
standard consists of 4 layers The higher layer
depends on the lower layer, the lower layer may
be used independent from the higher layer
Transport Layer Extensions and Communication
Types (Layer 1) are responsible for the
data exchange between the Platform Adapter
and physical devices connected at peripheral interfaces
or between the Platform Adapter and
supporting software systems The Transport
Layer Extension is an operating system specific
software, which has to be developed for a standardized
access to all peripheral components
One extension supports 1 to n Communication
Types For most common interfaces LPT,
RS232, IP4 and USB, Transport Layer Extensions
are available on the market for Windows ®
and LINUX
The Platform Adapter (Layer 2) provides a
standardized interface for the resources of the
operating system (cp POSIX) and routes communication
between Device Drivers and Transport
Layer Extensions The Platform Adapter
is an operating system specific software For
Windows® and LINUX, Platform Adapters are
available on the market
Device Drivers and Device Capability Description
(Layer 3): Device Drivers contain device
specific software for the communication with
devices via the Platform Adapter and for extending
device capabilities (smart compensation)
The standardized interface allows a uniform access
to different devices of any kind The Device
Capability Description (DCD) is a computer
readable data sheet for the devices handled by a
Device Driver It is a class description for “virtual
devices”, which is used to describe user requirements
for device applications (called Companion
Standards) as well as capabilities of given
devices Device drivers may conciliate between
user requests and device characteristics
ASAM GDI developed Companion Standards
being profiles for Crash Test, Chassis Dyno and
Multi-channel Data Acquisition For such applications
only one standardized capability description
(DCD) is valid for all Device Drivers
of different manufacturers For the integration
of ECUs into GDI-based measurement applications,
a Companion Standard for the use of
MCD-3 based systems was defined ASAM GDI
defined also the format for storing text in multiple
languages and linking it to device capabilities,
called Device Information Text (DIT)
Coordinator and Parameter Instance Description
(Layer 4): The Coordinator provides a
pure application view on measurement and control
variables and operations (process information
and control), which is an application neutral
interface For the mapping to the resources of
real devices, a coordinator reads a Parameter
Instance Description (PID), builds up the resource
interface and configures the periphery
accordingly (booting the system) The PID is
derived from DCDs and contains all needed instances
of devices and resources and the values
for parameters and attributes, which is the result
of a parameterization process Thus the PID is
a configuration file of an application used by the
Coordinator

DESCRIPTIOn
Numerous solutions in the area of test, evaluation
and simulation environments within the
automotive industry have their own administrative
systems and proprietary formats to
store data These systems and formats usually
have very different configuration descriptions
(unit under test, test sequence, test equipment,
etc ) and methods for storing test results (database,
binary files, etc ) Extending and modifying
such solutions, and connecting them to
third party components, is a growing challenge
as complexity increases continuously
ASAM ODS (Open Data Services) is that part
within the portfolio of ASAM standards which
focuses on persistent storage and retrieval of
such data, thereby establishing standards for
such application areas The main objectives are
to reduce costs and risks within projects, and
to provide a reliable basis for implementations
in the area of data storage and data usage Using
standardized interfaces and common structures
minimizes the efforts for system integration
within heterogeneous environments and
makes it much easier to exchange data Moreover,
it allows light-weight solutions to be developed
and integrated, working on the same,
standardized data pool
A closer look unveils that ASAM ODS provides:
• A common data model (base model) for
the unambiguous and complete storage of
data This base model can be regarded as
a rough data classification, thereby adding
semantics to the data The rough data classification
and the semantics finally enable

data (including its meta-information)
between different systems and different
platforms The current ASAM ODS
version supports both, the classic ATF
(ATF/CLA) as well as the XML based ATF

Prior to the ASAM standardization, the MDF
format - originally developed by Vector Informatik
on order of Bosch - has been maintained
by Vector Informatik and ETAS In 2007, Bosch
agreed to give the rights on this format to
ASAM, and a common project team of experts
from Vector Informatik, ETAS and dSPACE
collected requirements for an enhanced MDF
version Based on many years of experience in
usage of this file format, a technical draft was
developed and submitted to ASAM for standardization
In 2009, the standard has been
• Unicode UTF8 extension
• Data from bus communication
• Integration of sorted MDF
• Release of new standard V5.3.0 in 2012
• Regular annual cross test between

up to V3 x
Prior to MDF, ASAM had not standardized
any file format that was suitable to be used for
high-performance and efficient storage of measurement
data ASAM ODS and also its ASCII
based import/export formats ATF cannot be
used for direct storage of data acquisition systems
with hundreds of channels and data running
in milliseconds rates Additionally there
was no compact binary format for standardized
exchange of measurement data
MDF had been developed and applied exactly
for these use cases in the past and already is
supported by many tools But there were shortcomings
resp new requirements which needed
to be considered and which led to the next,
now standardized generation of the MDF format
The most prominent requirements were:

• Extension of maximum file size
(previously limited to 2/4 GByte)
• Extension of other limitations
(e g comment text length, record length,
array size, number of signals per group, )
• Compact data description also including
required information for the automotive
industry
• Allow fast streaming of signal data for high
performance writing
• Flexible and fast data access due
to the MDF pointer format
• Allow storage of signal data with
variable length
• Allow logical grouping of signals
• Allow addition of custom information
(e g about measurement environment)
by using meta-data and/or attachment
of complete files
• Ensure/improve exchangeability between
tools of different vendors (e g with
respect to meta data, string encoding,
absolute time, )
• Allow maintenance of a change
history for the MDF file
• Coordination with other ASAM standards
like ASAM AE MCD-2 MC or ASAM ODS

dSPACE GmbH:
eCu Development tool
integration Based on aSam ae
Standards
Solutions Guide 2011
Summary
Challenge: When automotive electronics are
developed, engineers often have to cope with
a heterogeneous tool environment, i.e., specialized
tools for different development tasks
such as rapid control prototyping (RCP), hardware-in-the-loop
simulation (HIL), ECU diagnostics,
ECU calibration, and bus communication
analysis. Nowadays these application areas
are beginning to overlap.
Solution: dSPACE’s new ControlDesk Next
Generation is central experiment software for
ECU development based on established standards,
especially ASAM. With ControlDesk
Next Generation, simulation platforms and
ECUs can be accessed from one single software
tool, data can be easily exchanged between
projects, and tool interface problems
resulting from a heterogeneous tool environment
are avoided. Key Benefits: This all helps
OEMs and suppliers make significant savings in
time and costs.
Situation
Typically, a large number of different specialized
tools are used in the development of automotive
electronics, e.g., for rapid control prototyping
(RCP) in the lab, on a test bench or in the
vehicle, for hardware-in-the-loop simulation
(HIL), for ECU calibration, for ECU diagnostics
and for bus communication analysis. Previously,
such tools were largely used separately,
but now their application areas are merging.
For example, ECU diagnostics and ECU access
via calibration tools on the HIL simulator are
playing an increasingly important role, enabling
the ECU fault memory to be read out and
reset during a test scenario. Connecting measurement
equipment and including bus communication
in data acquisition and evaluation
are becoming more important in RCP and HIL
applications. There is an increasing need for a
seamless overall process that allows user interfaces,
measurement data and parameter sets
to be reused across development steps.
ChallengeS
Although different application areas have similar
tool requirements, users are often dependent
on using several different tools in parallel.
A typical application example that illustrates
this challenge is the automatic validation of new
software versions for different ECUs (see Figure
1). Applications like this require central experiment
software from which users can access
the HIL simulator, the requirements management
tool, the ECU diagnostics tool, the test
automation tool, and the ECU itself.
SuCCeSS Strategy
dSPACE’s new ControlDesk Next Generation
has been designed as a central experiment tool
for ECU development and unites functionalities
that today require different specialized
tools. Using ASAM standards, several users’
requirements were put into practice:
• The central experiment software provides a
large number of interfaces for various application
areas. This includes support of ASAM
MCD-1 (CCP and XCP, particularly XCP on
CAN/Ethernet/FlexRay) for ECU access and
the corresponding descriptions via ASAM
MCD-2 MC (ASAP2).
• To integrate ECU diagnostics with Control
Desk Next Generation, CAN- and K-linebased
access is available via ASAM MCD-2
D (ODX) with diagnostics protocols such as
KWP2000, UDS, TP2.0 and GMLAN.
• A measurement data manager handles the
measurement data, which can be exported
in standard formats such as MAT or ASAM
MDF for evaluations.

• The Bus Navigator displays a well-structured
view of the current communication matrix,
which is defined on the basis of DBC, LDF
and ASAM MCD-2 NET (FIBEX).
• The Signal Editor saves the specified signal
behaviors in compliance with the ASAM AE
HIL API 1.0 standard.
• An ASAM MCD-3-compliant automation
module is also available.
BuSineSS BenefitS
dSPACE’s ControlDesk Next Generation addresses
the requirements of many application
04 section
scenarios and makes it easy to reuse data such
as user interfaces, measurement data and parameter
sets throughout the various development
stages. Users – such as test bench operators
– can now access several different data
sources which are synchronized to each other.
The users do not necessarily need to have specialized
knowledge of the overall system or of
all the subdomains involved. The acquisition
and operating costs for one central experiment
tool are significantly lower than for several specialized
tools. Interactive, automated operation
is much easier.

aSam mCD-1 XCP (ethernet)
Deployed as a real-time interface
in innovative Combustion Control
Development Systems
The ASAM MCD-1 XCP based ETAS real-time communication
interface allowed us to integrate our FI 2RE ignition
and injection system with the ES910 prototyping platform
within a short time.
(Thomas Kracke, IAV GmbH)
Summary
Challenge: Increasingly stringent legislation on
combustion engine emissions calls for some
form of tight combustion control. In electronic
engine management systems, this requires the
integration of additional sensor information regarding
the combustion process.
Solution: Internal cylinder pressure readings
provide reliable statements with regard to
combustion quality. In a joint project with IAV
GmbH and ETAS GmbH, engineers at Daimler
AG have designed a system that facilitates cylinder
pressure-based combustion control.
Key Benefits: The modular system handles the
crank angle synchronous acquisition of internal
cylinder pressure, calculates required variables,
and stabilizes the combustion process
by means of suitable control loops.
Situation
Daimler AG engineers, together with IAV
GmbH and ETAS GmbH have designed a system
that facilitates the rapid visualization of a
prototypical combustion control based on cylinder
pressure.
ChallengeS
Increasingly stringent legislation on combustion
engine emissions calls for controlled combustion
processes. As one of the prerequisites for
effective combustion control, additional sensor
information concerning the combustion process
must be integrated in the engine management
ECU. One such additional data type is
the internal cylinder pressure. It provides the
most reliable information on combustion characteristics.
The cylinder pressure curve must
be converted to control variables in real time.
SuCCeSS Strategy
The modular combustion control system handles
the crank angle synchronous acquisition of
the internal cylinder pressure, calculates the required
variables, and stabilizes the combustion
by means of suitable control loops.
Both the acquisition of cylinder pressure data
and the calculation of characteristics are handled
by IAV’s modular FI 2RE Flexible Injection
and Ignition for Rapid Engineering, which contains
the Thermodynamic Real-Time Analysis
(TRA) module specifically developed for this
purpose. The TRA board comprises an analog
front end for signal acquisition, analog filters,
several high-speed A/D converters, a Field
Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), dualported
RAM (DPR), a digital signal processor
(DSP), plus a variety of interfaces (CAN, SPI,
RS-232, and USB). The FI 2RE hardware for realtime
indexing without the additional injection
functions also forms the basis for the new “IAV
Indicar”, a freely programmable and vehiclecompatible
real-time indication system.
Subsequent to their calculation, the combustion
characteristics are transferred via Ethernet
to the superimposed ES910 Prototyping and
Interface Module. The MATLAB ® /Simulink ®
control functions running on the ES910 use
this and additional input to determine individual
control variables for the subsequent injection
cycle of each cylinder. Ahead of the next
combustion cycle, these variables are trans-

ferred via the ETK interface and folded into the
speed-synchronous tasks of the engine management
ECU.
The IAV FI 2RE system is connected to the ES910
module by XCP-on-Ethernet. The powerful
interface facilitates the real-time transfer to the
ES910 module of the great number of characteristics
calculated by IAV FI 2RE .
ChallengeS During the ProjeCt
To establish the Ethernet connection between
the IAV FI 2RE system and the ES910 module,
ETAS provided IAV with the same powerful
communication hardware module that is
used in the mini measurement modules of
the ES400 product family. The ETAS communication
module combines the standard XCP
04 section
protocol with a time slice procedure that ensures
the deterministic and high speed data
exchange between the FI 2RE system and ES910
module. As regards the data transfer, the IAV
FI 2RE system behaves like an ES400 device. The
user can therefore access FI 2RE system data via
the ES910 just as easily as measuring data from
ES400 modules.
BuSineSS BenefitS
By making use of the ASAM MCD-1 XCP (Ethernet)
standard, an open and flexible system
for the prototyping of innovative combustion
control functions was designed and rolled out
within a short time. The system is an important
prerequisite for the development of future internal
combustion engines.
The ETAS communication module built into the IAV FI2RE system provides deterministic and high-speed data exchange
with the ES910 Prototyping and Interface Module by through the use of XCP-on-Ethernet

The ASAM ODS solution is now the standard for test data
management at PSA Peugeot Citroën. This new NVH solution
completes the ones deployed for powertrain and durability
test areas and confirms our strategy. Our main need
was to use the standard format to save and share data
throughout the development process.
(Mr. Laurent NOURRY, IT Project Manager, PSA Peugeot Citroën
Mr. Julien DUHEM, Project Owner, PSA Peugeot Citroën)
Solutions Guide 2011
Summary
Challenge: Storing a variety of NVH measurement
data in the same format, searching for
tests with multiple criteria, and easily exchange
data between test and simulation domains, are
important issues for PSA Peugeot Citroen.
Solution: Data provided by LMS Test.Lab, Head
Figure 1: Process overview from NVH production
to final ASAM ODS storage
Artemis and MBBM Pak Systems are converted
to ATFX files together with additional information
like test condition, unit under test, etc.. User-friendly
interfaces allow engineers to search
for data and add new information, before submitting
conversion and import operations in
batch mode on a server. ASAM ODS data and
files in native LMS format are managed by AVL
Santorin using mixed mode storage.
Key Benefits: Data centralization in a standard
format (ASAM ODS) managed by Santorin,
using its ATFX/ATF file import and export facilities.
An advanced ASAM ODS browser in
LMS Test.Lab to access the data and the ability
to read ATFX files in LMS Virtual.Lab.
Situation
Distributed NVH testing, modern development
process (in closed loop with simulation
tools such as LMS Virtual.Lab) creates a need
to establish a structured way of collecting, importing
and retrieving NVH test data, centralized
in a standard format.
ChallengeS
The challenges were to find an appropriate datamodel
that covers the needs for PSA Peugeot
Citroen NVH engineers from different subdomains
(specifically, by defining meta information
that correctly represents the exact specifications
of the unit under test, the condition of the test,
etc.), to optimize the global system performance,
and to write out explicit use cases for
validating the correct handling of the extremely
rich NVH data.
SuCCeSS Strategy
In order to reach our objectives, we reused
existing components like PSA Peugeot Citroen
ATFX gateway and the ASAM ODS library, LSF
for job submission; we used standard Santorin

import/export facilities and made an efficient
ASAM ODS browser embedded in LMS Test.
Lab (Figure 1).
ChallengeS During the ProjeCt
During this project, we encountered some
barriers, like adapting the standard NVH data
model to fulfill the requirements from all affected
engineering domains, mapping creation
between the ASAM ODS data model and the
different data sources for controlling the conversion
operation from native to the ASAM
ODS format, improving performance for the
conversion process, and reading all types of
NVH ASAM ODS data from LMS Test.Lab
while preserving the full meta data content of
these data types in order to guarantee a fully
documented process (Figure 2). We also found
a compromise between flexibility, complexity,
compliance, quality and maintenance cost. In
order to reuse old test data, it was also necessary
to define and develop a migration tool.
04 section
BuSineSS BenefitS
The ASAM ODS database can also be used for
the “work in progress” phase and not only for
data publishing, so that the loops with simulation
domain are possible throughout the NVH
development process.
The ASAM ODS standard allows to reduce the
maintenance cost by using a single data management
application instead of having many
specific systems.

Configure and run software
agents via aSam gDi
There is no other international standard than ASAM GDI
(ISO 20242) which facilitates the development of configurable
software agents being independent from the communication
framework.
(Dr. Robert Patzke, Managing Director
and Head of Development, MFP GmbH)
Solutions Guide 2011
The following Use Case involves an important,
government funded research project including
a customer of the aerospace industry, a university,
a supplier for RFID technology and another
supplier for automated guided vehicles.
Summary
Challenge: Software agents facilitate excellent
solutions for complex computer based applications
by implementing autonomous modules
with well defined interfaces. But with the increasing
use of software agents, the number of
different interfaces increases too, and proprietary
solutions consolidate. Additionally, these
current software agents can only run with special
communication frameworks.
Solution: There should be a unified interface
for software agents, which is vendor indepen-

dent, and does not request a special communication
framework. ASAM GDI meets all requirements
on such an interface and is used in
this solution.
Key Benefits: ASAM GDI is a well documented
and an internationally recognized standard
(ISO 20242). ASAM GDI based software
agents may be developed independently, and
the given communication infrastructure in
plants may be used to integrate and run the
agents.
Situation
The technology program “AUTONOMIK - Autonomous
and simulation-based systems for
small and medium enterprises (SME)“ is the
new funding priority of the German Federal
Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi)
within the IT-summit lighthouse project “Internet
of Things“ (http://www.autonomik.de).
In AUTONOMIK, it comes to innovative approaches
for developing a new generation of
intelligent tools and systems that are independently
able to network via the Internet, to recognise
situations, to adjust to changing conditions
and to interact with users.
“AGILITA - Agile production logistics and transportation
systems“ is one of 12 AUTONO-
MIK projects. A flexible and efficient material
flow system for use in the production of small
and medium enterprises will be developed.
The heart of the material flow control is an
agent-based Manufacturing Execution System
(A-MES).
Project leader and customer of Agilita is Premium
AEROTEC GmbH in Varel. For this project,
they also develop flexible modular carriers for
material transport in production. The whole
production process is simulated at Institute
for Production Engineering and Machine Tools

(IFW) of Leibniz University in Hannover. Results
of the simulation are requirements for the
A-MES developed by MFP GmbH in Wunstorf.
Automatic guided vehicles will be implemented
by E&K Automation GmbH in Reutlingen and
Waldemar Winckel GmbH & Co. KG in Bad
Berleburg is responsible for tagging products
and installing readers for RFID.
ChallengeS
Even though a production process is “perfectly”
planned, you cannot avoid unexpected situations
conflicting with your plans. Let us take a
simple example to illustrate a conflicting situation
in material transport:
Your production is running as planned. A piece
was finished at a machine in one hall and now
is transported to the next manufacturing step
to another machine in another hall. But when
the piece arrives at its destination, the situation
has changed. The machine has an error
and the material input buffer is full. Now there
may be additional requirements for the carrier
to dump the load immediately for doing another
important transport. It may happen that
the piece is put down somewhere, and from
the view of the planning system it simply has
vanished. To avoid this situation, a basic rule
for material flow may be defined as: It may not
happen that material is pushed into a production
process that is not able to consume it. Of
course, it also may not happen, that a machine
is waiting for material to start the production,
which is another apparent rule.
SuCCeSS Strategy
To control such situations, a real time system is
needed to manage the material flow, according
to the current need of material. The current
position of all pieces is an assumed knowledge
of the system. This knowledge is acquired by
evaluating the planning situation and all current
04 section
manufacturing cases. The combination of both
evaluation procedures is the learning process
inside the MES.
It is near at hand, that the knowledge of the system
increases with the number of information
providing components. This is well implemented
by using multiple software agents interacting
with each other and providing their specific
knowledge for a global information pool.
The multiple software agents of the MES have
different basic tasks and may be provided by
different suppliers. Therefore, the ASAM GDI
standard is used to get an open, flexible and
modular MES which may be customised by
configuration.
ChallengeS During the ProjeCt
ASAM GDI based agents are “intelligent” software
modules running in the operating system
process of a framework application on a personal
computer. If the software agents need a
specific user interaction via graphical interfaces
(windows), they will have an extra operating
system process. Such software agents handle
an additional inter-process-communication via
a special ASAM GDI platform adapter extension.
With this extra developed PA-Extension,
it is now possible to use ASAM GDI software
modules combined with any executable software
using its own operating system process.
BuSineSS BenefitS
Using software agents as components for a
Manufacturing Execution System is the road
to maximum flexibility in production control.
It leads to an adaptation of the system to the
current situation, especially in case of unforeseen
events.
The tacit knowledge about the current position
of each produced part gives the user maximum
transparency for his production line.

tight integration of Data acquisition
and analysis into openmDm for Standardized
Vehicle interior noise measurements
The future-oriented ASAM standard is the base for a sustainable
data management in openMDM. In conjunction with
PAK and edp, an ASAM based solution has been designed
which perfectly merges IT and user interests.
(Roland Materna,
Projekt Leader for MDM, AUDI AG)
Summary
Challenge: Efficient and consistent vehicle development
processes demand an integrated
workflow for vehicle interior noise measurements.
This includes task planning, measurement
execution, result analysis / reporting and
data archiving. For a centralized data management
and sustainable data processing over decades
a common, standardized data format is
required.
Solution: Based on ASAM ODS, an integral
workflow approach has been established. Here
both PAK (NVH data acquisition and analysis
software) and edp (generic, web-based ASAM
ODS client with incorporated data interpretation)
are seamlessly linked together with AUDI’s
openMDM implementation for measurement
task management and data navigation.
Key Benefits: Combining workflow requirements
from engineers and measurement technicians
regarding simplicity, speed and efficiency
for vehicle interior noise measurements with
the requirements of the IT department regarding
data management, security and readability,
as well as conflict management at modifications
of the descriptive data contained in the results
delivered to the central data storage.
Situation
Müller-BBM VibroAkustik Systeme provides
NVH measurement and analysis systems to
AUDI – one of the world’s most successful car
manufacturers in the premium segment – as a
technology partner in the field of vehicle interior
noise measurements and data management. For
decades AUDI has been using a dedicated system
for vehicle interior measurements which
has been limited with reference to the increasing
demands for measurements and analyses.
The goal was to replace the existing system by a
generic standard product which can be assigned
by the open source product openMDM (www.
openMDM.org), stores the data in the openM-
DM framework and is an open concept regarding
channel counts and analysis functions. Throughput
data is also supported. Project success was
achieved through interactive teamwork between
the AUDI IT, vehicle development and measurement
service department together with the software
development and data management team
from Müller-BBM VibroAkustik Systeme.
ChallengeS
By replacing the dedicated system with a standardized
solution, engineers and measurement
technicians benefit from a comprehensive solution
for the acquisition, analysis and processing
of dynamic data according to the openMDM
framework. Both tools – PAK and edp – are
plugged into the openMDM framework to handle
automated task acceptance and execution,
measurement data acquisition, analysis and visualization
of vehicle interior noise data.
According to users’ demands, PAK provides
a customized and optimized interface for the
processing of vehicle interior noise measurements
within the test vehicle, including a plausibility
check of the measurement results. edp
has access to all available data and interprets
the ASAM ODS data natively. All actions happen
in the web-browser. Users benefit from
a network-transparent access without any additional
software installations. The integration

implements the ASAM ODS security model
and utilizes single sign-on to avoid any unnecessary
operational steps. PAK and edp feature
functionalities for analysis, playback and graphical
display of NVH data as well as support interactive
graphic formats in Microsoft ® Office
environments.
SuCCeSS Strategy
Customer demands have been implemented
through an agile process in iterative steps –
from the basic concept to the final design. By
combining the openMDM framework with
well-proven measurement and analysis tools
PAK and edp, a unique engineering platform
has been developed. This could only have been
gained by involving all participants from the beginning.
ChallengeS
During this project, the most challenging expected
items were addressed regarding the
conflicting goals of “openness/flexibility“ versus
“data security/process security“ between the
different views of both users and IT administra-
04 section
tors. Short system response times especially for
higher data amounts have been a second challenge.

AUDI benefits from a complete workflow for
the vehicle interior noise measurements. All
acquired and analyzed data are based upon
the industrial standard ASAM ODS and both
standard software products PAK and edp. This
provides extreme flexibility with reference to
data sources and processing as well as a futureorientated,
expandable measurement and
analysis concept. Exceptional ease of use and
added security highlight some of the benefits
of this solution. Engineers now have the choice
of using the most suitable tool for the current
analysis task. New technologies are continuously
integrated due to the consistency of the
ASAM ODS framework. As such process reliability,
data integrity, traceability and data safety
are secured for years to come. Simplified system
support is attained through the tight integration
of measurement and analysis on a common
platform.

openmDm framework for the
aSam oDS Based Documentation
of test Drives in the field of Driver
assistance and integral Safety
I chose the openMDM framework, because users benefit
from a wide range of best practices and proven application
modules. This reduces not only the risk of costly in-house
software development, but also lets the implementation
costs drop to a minimum.
(Dr.Helmut Riedel, AUDI AG)
Summary
Challenge: In order to keep better track of the
increasing complexity of data management, the
project management of AUDI AG in mid 2009,
decided to implement a professional application
for the documentation of test drives in the
field of driver assistance and integral safety.
Solution: The appropriate basis for an ASAM
ODS based, future-proof test and measurement
data management solution provided the
openMDM framework.
Key Benefits: Through the use of the openMDM
framework the customer was able to establish a
solution designed to meet the requirements at
reasonable expense.
Situation
With the support of a specialist from Peak Solution,
the project management of AUDI AG
implemented a professional application for the
documentation of test drives in the field of driver
assistance and integral safety. Peak Solution is
specialized in the design and implementation of
company-specific IT solutions for planning, describing,
performing, evaluating and documenting
tests and experiments.
ChallengeS
The development of software controlled vehicle
functions, in which modern environmental
sensors provide important information on the
driving situation, requires a high number of test
drives on the test track and in road traffic. Due
to the indispensable video documentation,
enormous amounts of test data are accumulated
in the test drives. In order to keep better
track of the increasing complexity of data management,
the project management of AUDI AG
decided on the use of the openMDM framework
to implement a professional application
for the documentation of test drives in the field
of driver assistance and integral safety.
SuCCeSS Strategy
With the support of the specialists from Peak
Solution, initially a subject-specific application
model was designed, which, within a short
time – exclusively through customizing – was
implemented in the openMDM framework. In
the instance of the MDM-FASIS, today different
driving catalogues are defined with representative
driving scenarios and made available
for the test vehicles. During the test drives, the
ADTF software framework (Automotive Data
and Time-Triggered Framework) synchronously
records all data relevant to the vehicle
function. Via a special software interface (the
“loading ramp”), data is transferred from there
to the measurement data management system
and stored in a structured way on the basis of
ASAM ODS, along with descriptive information
(“metadata”), e.g. about the test vehicle, driving
maneuvers, driving conditions, measurement
hardware, vehicle software, etc.
ChallengeS During the ProjeCt
At present, MDM-FASIS already contains thousands
of test drives, including the accompanying
metadata. The software versions used in
the test drives are managed and documented

in parallel to the MDM-FASIS in the software
version management system MKS. Links to the
MDM-FASIS data structures ensure that the
software is correctly assigned to the test data.
BuSineSS BenefitS
Through the use of the openMDM framework,
those responsible at AUDI AG were able to es-
Application components of the openMDM FASIS project

tablish, at reasonable expense, an ASAM ODS
based, future-proof data management system
for the documentation of test drives in the field
of driver assistance and integral safety. Test
data and metadata, but also the software used
to generate the test data, can be stored in the
MDM-FASIS in large amounts, securely and in a
structured, and above all easily retrievable way.

Web-based data selection and
export tool for aSam oDS data
The complex selection criteria were a challenge
but are the engineers major benefit.
(Florian Schmitt, Senior Software Engineer,
SCIENCE + COMPUTING AG)
Summary
Challenge: Engineers required an easy to handle
interface for putting together selections of
data on vehicle driving dynamics for manual or
automatic analyses. An old software solution
ought to be replaced by a web solution with
enhanced functionality.
Solution: The web-based ASAM ODS navigation
framework “CatWalk” by HighQSoft was
customized to implement a web based application
that accesses the ASAM ODS database.
Additional features were added to implement
data preview functionality, complex selection
possibilities and an interface to analyses.
Key Benefits: Data handling is much more comfortable
now, more reliable, much faster and
more complex selection criteria can be used.
Efficiency is increased by the direct interface to
manual and batch driven analyses.
Situation
At a German OEM, measurement data on vehicle
driving dynamics are stored in an ASAM
ODS database, which was developed with
ASAM ODS pre v3.0 and is in use for more
than 10 years. The software for controlling the
test rigs and for measuring has been replaced
by modern software and the ASAM ODS standard
has been migrated to V5.1 in the last years
by science + computing ag. The original tool for
exporting data for offline data analysis however
was still in use.
ChallengeS
The old export tool could no longer be supported
as there existed no documentation,
and parts of the software implementation were
not documented well. Therefore the software
could not be adapted to new requirements economically
and all programs that accessed the
database had to consider the existence of the
old export tool, the structures and non standard
tables in the database.
SuCCeSS Strategy
Various tools and solutions were compared in
a consulting project including the programming
from scratch approach. It was decided to use
the “CatWalk” framework by HighQSoft with
its layer of standard ASAM ODS communication
to generate a flexible web-based tool.
Some additional features were implemented on
top of the framework to create an application
that fits the needs of the customer:
- A dynamic chart view for plotting any channel
on any axis for a fast preview.
- A complex interface to search for data.
- Tree view and detail view were customized to
be freely configurable by users.
Collections of data can be gathered by the engineers,
can be saved and handed over to various
manual or automatic analysis methods. Statuses
of automatic analyses can be tracked in the application.
ChallengeS During the ProjeCt
Requirements of the engineers turned out to
be more complex than was thought in the consulting
phase. Therefore more adaptations on
the framework and the browsing application
had to be implemented than were expected in
the beginning. Slow performance of the web interface
was a topic and some optimizations had
to be made on client side as well as on server
side to speed up the application.

BuSineSS BenefitS
Due to the powerful search engine and the
fast data preview function, engineers are able
to gather their collections of data more quickly,
much more comfortable and with higher reliability.
The direct interface to the various manual
A screenshot of the application
04 section
and batch driven analyses helped to increase efficiency.
The web based software requires no
installation at the clients. It is supportable and
expandable and will be compatible with further
versions of the ASAM ODS standard.

science + computing AG:
tool independent storage
of nVh data
The use of ASAM ODS, its NVH standard and the use
of the openMDM framework allowed us to develop an
application in half a year.
(Christoph Haas, Team Leader CAT software development,
SCIENCE + COMPUTING AG)
Solutions Guide 2011
Summary
Challenge: NVH measurement data needed to
be stored independent of the tool they were
produced with, to allow processing of this data
with any tool, even tools that will be available in
the future. Online storage space must be available
for new result data with constantly growing
sizes, while huge amounts of old data needed
to be stored.
Solution: Data is stored in an ASAM ODS database
using the NVH standard. Old data is automatically
removed from online storage, stored
on tape and can be recalled by the user when
it is needed.
Key Benefits: Data is stored independent of
the NVH application and can be found across
the whole NVH centre. Online storage space is
available at all times, old measurements can be
stored forever and are available in a short time
when the user needs them.
Situation
The project started in 2006, at a huge NVH
development centre at a German automotive
OEM. science + computing ag was involved
from the beginning, consulting on data management
topics, designing the target system, building
the whole system, programming the data
management application and running the whole
system.
ChallengeS
Due to the sampling of more concurrent signals
and due to switching to 24-bit sampling
devices, the amount of NVH data is growing
to extremes since 2007. Comparison data from
older development cycles and products need
to be available immediately, for a long time. This
leads to an extreme growth of storage space.
These storage demands needed to be satisfied
by concept for evermore.
Data will not be readable anymore at some
time as the measurement and engineering tools
change over time. A tool independent storage
format needed to be found that is a persistent
and approved standard.
SuCCeSS Strategy
An application independent format was implemented
to store the data, the ASAM ODS
NVH standard. A tape library allows storing the
older data on a cheap and reliable media without
wasting expensive online space. Automatically
moving data from online storage to tape,
releases the engineers from caring about their
data. They can manually move the data back
into online storage whenever they need it.
ChallengeS During the ProjeCt
A complex system with many functions needed
to be developed in short time. The ASAM ODS
NVH standard helped very much in the definition
of the format, as many NVH tool suppliers
mostly implement the standard. The openM-
DM framework (www.openmdm.org) with its
application model that can hold very different
data (i.e. very different units under test) and
its ready-to-use application elements allowed
us to implement a first, basic application in less
than half a year.

BuSineSS BenefitS
Through the shared database, engineers can
find all data measured in the NVH centre and
can use them. Thereby a stronger integration
of the different NVH disciplines was achieved.
Automatic housekeeping on the online storage
released engineers from caring for storage
Concept of the system showing basic components

space and from securing their data. They gained
time for their actual task, the engineering
process. The standardized, tool independent
data format allows the use of different tools in
the engineering process. For each task the tool
that best fits the needs of the engineer can be
used and better results can be achieved.

aSam gDi Standards in
automotive industry enable Plug
and Play like operations
The targets of short commissioning times and the reuse of
test programs were achieved so that we will extend our
ASAM GDI activities.
(Mr. Berthold Mozar Department Manager,
Volkswagen AG in Wolfsburg)
Summary
Challenge: During final assembly, various devices
have to communicate to a diagnostic test
system. Most of these interfaces are proprietary
and depend on the equipment manufacturer
and incur high software development and commissioning
costs.
Solution: A unified interface has to be introduced
which is independent of the equipment
manufacturer. This solution is based on the usage
of the ASAM GDI interface specification.
Key Benefits: The unified interface is applicable
in all plants worldwide. Commissioning becomes
more efficient and implementation risks
are minimized resulting in cost savings for interface
development and deployment.
Situation
Within the final assembly, various equipment
like roller benches or filling stations have to
communicate to a diagnostic test system. Usually
these interfaces are highly dependant on the
equipment supplier resulting regularly in additional
software development and commissioning
costs.
The main areas of interest are Wheel Alignment
and Roller Benches as well as Filling stations. All
manufacturers of these machines and the tester
suppliers have proprietary interfaces which
very often need software adaptations as a consequence,
and increased efforts during commissioning
and test phases. Furthermore, the check
programs have to be adapted to the specific interfaces
and cannot be used across plants.
Challenge
The target is to use a standard interface for the
machines and a unique definition of the test
flow. This would ensure short test phases during
installation and already written test programs
can be used across plants nearly without adaptations.
After the introduction of this interface, commissioning
should be performed plug and play like.
SuCCeSS Strategy
Volkswagen and Siemens decided to use the
ASAM GDI interface to reach this target. As
a common test flow for each machine type, a
companion was defined. The first installations of
ASAM GDI took place in the Volkswagen plant
in Wolfsburg for Filling Stations and a Roller
Bench. Meanwhile Volkswagen and Siemens are
using ASAM GDI for Filling Machines, Wheel
Alignment and Roller Benches in multiple plants
worldwide.
Every device supplier delivers a GDI driver
which is specific for a single device. The test system
is able to communicate via the coordinator
to diverse drivers.
The test programs were created on the central
Siemens SIDIS Pro server in Wolfsburg accord-

ing to the defined companion and then distributed
to the various plants.
The picture in Figure 1 shows the typical GDI
architecture. The SIDIS Pro test system application
communicates to various devices through
a so-called coordinator which is aware of dif-

Softing Automotive
Electronics GmbH:
german engineering
for Clean air
ASAM solutions helped me to drive a controls solution project
effectively from scratch to SOP.
(Sebastian Adler, Program Manager,
Albonair, Dortmund, Germany)
Solutions Guide 2011
Summary
Challenge: Due to the 2010 launch of emission
legislation (EURO VI, EPA 2010), heavy duty
diesel trucks and coaches need to be equipped
with diesel exhaust aftertreatment systems including
an on-board diagnostic supervising system
(OBD).
Solution: To meet the legislated emission values,
heavy duty diesel engines are usually equipped
with electronically controlled DPF (Diesel Particulate
Filter) and an SCR system (Selective
Catalytic Reduction). For development and
production of such an SCR system, ASAM MCD
AE standards were used for the system definition,
calibration and testing.
Key Benefits: The employment of standards is
key to link a “generic” diesel exhaust aftertreatment
system with the powertrain platforms of
a majority of vehicle and diesel engine manufacturers
worldwide. Additionally, the cost for
the integration into existing communication networks
can be reduced significantly.
Situation
Founded at the end of 2007 by the Hinduja
Group of India, Albonair is a new brand within
the automotive industry - itself privately owned
by equally named family. Albonair develops,
produces and markets diesel exhaust aftertreatment
systems as a Tier 1 supplier to all vehicle
and engine manufacturers worldwide. The lead
customer is Ashok Leyland – another company
within the Hinduja group, which is the second
largest commercial vehicle manufacturer in India
with an annual output of approx. 100,000 heavy
duty vehicles in a normal production year. Due
to the introduction of Euro4 emission legislation
within the big Indian cities in April 2010, Albonair
was asked to develop an exhaust aftertreatment
system using the selective catalytic reduction
technology (SCR). The reason why SCR
was chosen to meet the upcoming emission targets
in India are the already known advantages
e.g. low influence on system performance due
to high diesel sulphur contents.
Softing Automotive Electronics is a subsidiary
of Softing AG. Softing Automotive Electronics
supplies the automotive market with ODX and
OTX authoring tools and tester solutions that
are based on an ASAM MCD / MVCI D-Server.
Challenge
The challenge was to cope with the variety of
partly contradictory requirements. The product
should be in line with all quality standards
established in the mature markets Europe and
North America, while the overall development
time - 21 months - was quite short. Additionally,
it was required to have a modular system design
so that components and software modules can
be reused for other customers or next generation
projects. Finally, the project was driven by
an extremely low target price, since the Emerging
Markets are not able to absorb the costs of
the existing European system designs.
Solution
The key to success of the project was to relay
on standardized and already proven technologies
for as many components and manufacturing
processes as possible.
For the controls part of the project, in an early
stage, it was decided to rely on several ASAM
standards to overcome the challenges within

the specific project surrounding conditions. The
widely used XCP protocol was chosen as the
calibration interface.
For interaction with suppliers and customers as
it came to the diagnostic portion of the software,
it was concluded to use Softing´s ODX authoring
tool DTS Venice which supports the ODX 2.0.1
standard to collect and document all off-board
communication requirements in a structured
way. Softing´s MVCI D-Server “DTS-COS” is
used with different applications, e.g. as UDS on
CAN protocol tester and as reprogramming
tool in the production line. The employment of
the D-server for aftermarket service testers is in
preparation.
ChallengeS During the ProjeCt
Due to the ambitious timing of the project,
one expected problem was the validation of
the control software and the establishment of
the inevitable end of line processes. Again, the
Figure 1: System components of the Albonair SCR
04 section
ASAM standards XCP and MVCI / ODX helped
to reduce the development time to create testing
equipment and production tools, while ensuring
maximum product quality.
BuSineSS BenefitS
As a Tier 1 supplier, Albonair has to have very
flexible products which can quickly and easily
be integrated into customer powertrains while
reducing the number of specific interfaces and
therefore minimizing the development time and
costs. ASAM products help us to create a business
advantage while keeping a high product
quality.

merge with other documentation parts supplied in ASAM
FSX and ASAM MDX Format.
(Lothar Michel, Entwicklung RP-Tools/
Software Antrieb, AUDI AG)
Summary
Challenge: The data necessary for a function
documentation of simulation models is spread
Figure 1: FunDoc editor with interactive smart viewing functionalities
over several development tools. The challenge
is to put all these data together – automatically.
Solution: The objective is to connect to several
development tools, extract the needed data and
place the gathered information at user’s disposal
for edit or print. In order to be able to further
process the gathered data, standard exchange
formats from ASAM shall be used.
Key Benefits: The time consuming task of collecting
data from different development tools can
be automated and by using the ASAM standard
exchange formats (MDX, FSX, CDF, CC), further
standard compliant tools can be integrated
in the function documentation process.
Situation
At AUDI, several tools are used in the model
driven function development. When generating
the function documentation, the relevant data
must be manually extracted from these tools.
This time consuming and tedious task must be
repeated each time when the documentation
has to be updated e.g. due to updates in the
model or in the data interface.
ChallengeS
To avoid the time consuming task of extracting
the needed data manually from the different
tools again and again, a tool should be developed
which automates this task. The tool must
be able to handle updates, both of the simulation
models and of the interfaces. When simulation
models have been updated, the tool must
notify the user that a change happened and best
what is the change. The tool FunDoc meets this
challenge by performing a “model-diff” on picture
level (in order to be independent from the
modelling tool). The status (e.g. new, changed,
removed) is visually displayed directly in the
documentation.

SuCCeSS Strategy
Visu-IT! developed the tool FunDoc (Function
Documentation) which eases the documentation
process of simulation models. FunDoc is
able to connect to several development tools
and place the gathered information into the well
accepted ASAM standards MDX, FSX, CDF,
CC which can be further processed from other
standard compliant tools.
ChallengeS During the ProjeCt
The goal of the project was to be open for further
tools and future extensions. That means for
example, we are not focused on one modelling
tool but do support e.g. both Matlab/Simulink
and ASCET models.
Figure 2: Data Flow & Interfaces of FunDoc
04 section
BuSineSS BenefitS
Time savings: The documentation can be generated
in an automated process.
Cost savings: Due to “Time savings”, costs of the
documentation process reduces significantly.
Gain of flexibility: By using the ASAM standards
MDX, FSX, CDF, CC, any other standard compliant
tool can be used in this process, e.g. a
standard compliant PDF formatter can be used
to generate the final PDF documentation. This
produces an Increase of quality; No manual error-prone
actions are necessary when extracting
the relevant information from the development
tools

and data structures for the automotive electronics
development and test processes
• M C D -1 defines the connection of an
ECU to a Computer or a measurement
or data logging device This connection
can be established via different transport
layers
• M C D -2 defines different symbolic description
standards for ECU access or
Network data The standards summarized
in the MCD-2 standard family are
known in the market as ASAP2, ODX
and FIBEX
• M C D - 3 defines an object-oriented
API between of a so-called MCDsystem
MCD systems might provide
M(easurement)-, C(alibration)- or
D(iagnostics)-functionality or any combination
of these functionalities The
MCD-3 API is used by test automation
client systems typically
• C C stands for Container Catalog and
describes the meta information of engineering
data (e g configuration management
info) at exchange between
repositories or tools
• CDf stands for Calibration Data Format
and describes a format for the exchange
of ECU calibration data
• fSX stands for Functional Specification
Exchange Format and describes functional
specification data of ECU Software
functions
• hIL stands for Hardware-in-the-Loop
Simulation The new HIL API defines an
API for ECU Testing via Simulation
Solutions Guide 2011
• ISSuE describes an electronic exchange
for change requests and problem reports
• MDX stands for Meta Data Exchange
Format and describes a format for data
specifications of ECU software (e g
variables, calibration parameters etc )
• MBfS stands for Model Based Function
Specification and is a tool and technology
independent standard library of
blocks for ECU software applications
which can be used by block model
based design, simulation and development
tools
ASAM GDI (GEnERIC DEvICE InTERfACE)
defines interfaces to measuring devices and
intelligent subsystems as well as a syntax for
a generic description of their capabilities
ASAM ACI (AuTOMATIC CALIBRATIOn In-
TERfACE) defines interfaces between automation
and optimization components, which
evaluate an optimized set of parameters for
control systems
ASAM CEA (COMPOnEnTS fOR EvALuA-
TIOn AnD AnALySIS) defines a component
interface and the necessary basic functionality
for the creation of project-specific overall
applications from modular measured data
evaluation and analysis tools
ASAM ODS (OPEn DATA SERvICES) defines
a generic data model (for universal interpretation
of data), interfaces (for model management,
data storage and data retrieval)
and a data exchange syntax and format

A BASE STAnDARD defines syntax, abstract
models, and principle functionality for general
use A base standard is defined in a
technology independent form It can use a
problem specific notation, e g UML for an
object model or any suitable description for
protocols Typically a base standard is either
a Format Description Standard, a Protocol
Definition or an Application Programming
Interface (API)
An ASSOCIATED STAnDARD always refers
to a Base Standard There are different forms
of Associated Standards, such as Application
Area Companions, Technology References,
Transport Layer Specifications
A fORMAT DESCRIPTIOn Standard defines
the syntax and semantics of a file format used
to exchange data Currently these standards
are defined in XML, but older standards,
such as ASAM MCD-2 MC (ASAP2) still apply
proprietary ASCII formats
There are also binary description standards,
e g to store measurement data efficiently
An APPLICATIOn AREA COMPAnIOn is an
associated extension of the base standard
for a particular type of devices or application
areas A companion uses the syntax and
the abstract models of the base standard In
companion standards models for application
fields are described (application specific information)
Companion standards are technology
independent
A TEChnOLOGy REfEREnCE prescribes
the technology dependent interpretation of
the generic base standard These references
are technology specific implementations of
standards and companion standards appropriate
for a specific environment
06 section
A TRAnSPORT LAyER SPECIfICATIOn details,

An ASAM InTERnAL STAnDARD (AIS) is a
specification which does not directly serve as
standard which can be implemented in tools
but rather as a basis for the development of
other ASAM standards
AAS is a specification, and related extensions,
which have been taken over from another
organisation (e g MSR) and have been accepted
by ASAM They are made available
by ASAM but they are no official ASAM standards,
because they are not maintained

glossary of key terms
AAS
is short for ASAM Adopted Specification
ACS
is short for Automatic Calibration System
A computer based tool which enables a
decision process to be defined, so that for
a given environment the optimal parameters
of an ECU system can be identified
AIS
is short for ASAM Internal Standards
API
is short for Application Programming Interface
The interface that a computer system, library
or application provides in order to
allow requests for service to be made of it
by other computer programs, and/or to allow
data to be exchanged between them
ATf
is short for ASAM Transport Format
A file storage system that allows measurement
data to be stored independent of a
database Prior to version 5 0 of ASAM
ODS, that file storage system was the classic
ASAM Transport Format (referenced as
ATF/CLA and currently published as version
1 4 1) With version 5 0 came the introduction
of ATF/XML which is an XMLbased
version of the ATF file format Like
its older counterpart, ATF/XML makes it
possible to exchange whole environments
or even parts of those between different
computers and environments While
there are slight differences other than the
XML basis, ATF/XML and ATF/CLA are
so similar that they should be considered
to be two different “flavors” of the same
standard ATF/XML is able to transport
the required structure and instance information
as well as the respective data and
to store all this information in a standardized
format
AuSy
is short for Automation System
(also known as TBS or Test Bench System)
This is a Real Time system that controls the
hardware within a test environment The

DynAMOMETER (DynO)
A device used to measure power and
torque produced by an engine There are
two types of Dynos: One that gets bolted
directly to an engine, known as an Engine
Dyno, or a Dyno that can measure power
and torque without removing the engine
from the frame of the vehicle, known as a
Chassis Dyno
DLL
is short for Dynamic-Link Library
A file that can be loaded and executed by
programs dynamically Basically it is an external
code repository for programs Since
usually several different programs reuse
the same DLL instead of having that code
in their own file, this dramatically reduces
required storage space A synonym for a
DLL would be library
EBEnCh

is short for Interface Definition Language
A computer language or simple syntax for
describing the interface of a software component
It is essentially a common language
for writing the “manual” on how to use a
piece of software from another piece of
software, in much the same fashion that a
user manual describes how to use a piece
of software to the user
ISO
is short for International Standards
Organization
An international standard-setting body
composed of representatives from national
standards bodies Founded on February
23, 1947, the organization produces
world-wide industrial and commercial
standards, the so-called ISO standards
While the ISO defines itself as a non-governmental
organization (NGO), its ability
to set standards which often become
law through treaties or national standards
makes it more powerful than most NGOs,
and in practice it acts as a consortium with
strong links to governments Participants
include several major corporations and at
least one standards body from each member
country

If it has been determined that a standard
will be maintained through newer versions,
a Maintenance Group will be founded or
re-established from the previous version
These Maintenance Groups will be automatically
ended when the subsequent version
of standard is available
MDAQ

Programmer Interface (D-PDU API)
Part 3: Diagnostic Server Application Programmer
Interface (D-Server API)
Part 4: Conformance test
OBD
is short for On Board Diagnostics
In an automotive context, this is a generic
term referring to a vehicle’s self-diagnostic
capability If the vehicle’s onboard diagnostic
system detects a malfunction, a DTC
(diagnostic trouble code) corresponding
to the malfunction is stored in the vehicle’s
computer, and in certain cases will illuminate
the MIL (malfunction indicator light,
or check engine light) A service technician
can retrieve the DTC, using a “scan tool”,
and take appropriate action to resolve the
malfunction
Prior to the advent of digital powertrain
control modules, which is the technical
enabler for the OBD feature, repairing a
vehicle relied solely upon the technician’s
skill and service literature from the auto
manufacturer
ODS DATABASE
A data storage and retrieval system constructed
to ASAM to the ASAM ODS standard
ODX OPEn DIAGnOSTIC DATA
EXChAnGE
A common term for the ASAM MCD-2 D
standard for the description of information
for the data exchange process in automotive
diagnostics The ODX data exchange
format reduces the communication and
adaption effort between the automotive
manufacturer, system and ECU supplier
significantly
OEM
is short for Original Equipment Manufacturer

TEDS TRAnSDuCER ELECTROnIC
DATA ShEET
Contains information needed by a measurement
instrument to interface and
properly use the signal from an analog sensor
TEDS is defined in IEEE 1451 2 and
IEEE 1451 4 The TEDS can be deployed
for a sensor in two ways First, the TEDS
can reside in embedded memory, typically
an EEPROM, within the transducer and
is wired to the measurement instrument
Second, a virtual TEDS can exist as a data
file accessible by the measurement instrument
A virtual TEDS extends the standardized
TEDS to legacy sensors and applications
where the embedded memory
is not available
TSC
is short for Technical Steering
Committee Is the group of elected delegates,
with voting rights, whom perform
the following tasks for the ASAM association:
Evaluation of user benefit and market
relevance of newly submitted ASAM standard
related issues and Control/Steering
of running projects regarding the ASAM
standards
uuT
is short for Unit Under Test
XCP
is short Universal Measurement and Calibration
Protocol
