Gas & Diesel Engine Application Software

The Southwest Research Institute^® (SwRI^®) Ann Arbor Technical Center (AATC) offers engine control software to accelerate your open ECU development project. SwRI has integrated experience from years of engine R&D programs that all require similar underlying control features. These algorithms are available to run on any Simulink^® compatible control
system.

The Simulink source code is provided with no black boxes so your team can modify the code directly, or with SwRI’s support. The software is intended for engineering research and development programs.

AATC’s engineers are available to ensure your project timing goals are met by working on-site at your facility to configure the software to match your specific I/O and control system hardware and get your engine running as quickly as possible. SwRI can also help develop initial calibration data using its Rapid Prototyping Electronic Control System (RPECS^®) technology to benchmark production calibrations.

Result

SwRI’s local Michigan engineers provide a temporary assist to get your test cell up and running -producing the data you need months sooner than developing code from scratch.
