Areus Test Cube – ATC

The Areus Test Cube

Software testing made easy

The Areus Test Cube (ATC) elevates software development and software testing of control units to a whole new level. The days of a jumble of cables and chaos at the desk are over, because ATC now offers an all-in-one solution in a compact housing.

The cube has numerous connections and a mainboard which enable direct connection of the hardware components being tested. The components are safely located on the integrated mechanical carrier and are optimally protected at all times by the sturdy construction. Thanks to the compact shape, setting up and transporting the complete setup is child's play.

Always open to something new—the cube design

During development, we placed great value on maximum flexibility. This is reflected in the special cubic design that enables all connections on the mainboard to be positioned so that they are readily accessible. All ECU signals can be easily tapped via screw terminals. ECUs can be connected all over the mainboard. Basic connection possibilities such as CAN, Ethernet, Power, etc., are located on the outside of the cube.

The mainboard designed specially for the Areus Test Cube is the core of the ATC. Numerous connectors and interfaces are designed to connect hardware with little effort. Connecting ECUs and also flash and measuring hardware was never as clear and simple.

The mainboard

The ATC has upgraded... Even more effective testing with the ATC V2:

UART extension board

The extension offers another way to connect serial interfaces of ECUs to the PC using only an USB cable—without special cables on the common D-Sub interfaces. Thus, it not only simplifies data transmission, but also offers significant cost savings.

Full control via remote control

The automation board allows maximum flexibility for the tester. An Ethernet wake-up can now be conveniently controlled via the software. If operation is still manual or preferable, this can be carried out via the switches on the ATC front panel. Regardless of the switch position on the front panel, remote testing can always be performed.

Flexible power supply

The power supply up to 60 V can be provided individually for each ECU and Extension Unit. This means that overvoltage and undervoltage tests of an ECU are simply not an issue.

Do you need a little extra? - The Extension Unit

If the standard scope isn’t enough, the ATC can be extended by adding the familiar modules from the modular test bench portfolio. The Extension Unit has the same fixed metric grid as the Base Unit, allowing it to be stacked and combined to take up less room.

Über die Extension Unit lässt sich der ATC mit den Modulen der MTB-Produktreihe erweitern.
