TTAutomotive, TTTech's subsidiary for FlexRay solutions, has delivered the TTX-Disturbance Node to first automotive customers. TTX-Disturbance Node is a new high-performance board to test and validate a system for FlexRay networks. Controlled fault injection is a powerful and inexpensive way to test and validate a system.

It may uncover more problems than simply running an 'instrumented system'.

When creating fault scenarios for distributed systems, the user needs a powerful tool to set up fault injections in a fully reproducible and programmable manner.

'TTAutomotive's TTX-Disturbance Node enables fault injections by using programmable fault scenarios and therefore provides us especially effective facilities to study the robustness of a FlexRay network' states Jens Kotz, Chief Engineer Architectures at Audi.

The node can be used in a running system or with a test setup in the laboratory.

Loss of data transmission and loss of specific data can be detected immediately and weaknesses in the reliability of the system can be prevented at an early stage.

Furthermore the node permits technicians to examine the effects of faults on system behaviour, as well as the fault handling properties of complete systems.

With TTX-Disturbance Node TTAutomotive offers a convenient tool that complements the company's extensive and constantly evolving product range for FlexRay communication.
