Description

Product Information

The FlexGen-S SENT is a variably usable, mobile and self-sufficient platform that offers comprehensive options to gather, process and generate sensor data. By doing so, it is both possible to read out connected SENT sensors and to simulate virtual sensors.

Via an event button, different functions for manipulating signals can be realized. Thus, it is possible for example to purposefully test defined error cases or the threshold value behavior of connected control units.

The FlexGen-M SENT comes with a synchronization interface for cascading several devices. Therefore, the behavior of redundant sensors can also be simulated.

With the USB interface, there is the possibility to connect the simulator with a PC. Via a PC application included, all the parameters for configuring a SENT interface can be set up comfortably.

In addition to having the option to produce FlexGen-M SENT's software, use and display elements according to customer specifications, other interfaces like CAN, LIN or analog channels are also possible due to the device-inherent modular construction.
