Vehicle Control Units
The EVParts x Control Unit provides a range of digital and analog inputs, as well as output drivers suitable for contactors.
At the heart of the xCU is a TMS570 automotive safety microprocessor. Multiple CAN interfaces allow separation of busses and differing data rates to be accommodated.
Ethernet and LIN hardware interfaces provide additional connectivity.
A Simulink blockset is available and your application is deployed to it by secure UDS bootloader over CANbus.
12 or 24V Operation.
Advanced Control for Off-Highway Innovation
The EVParts xCU sits at the heart of our award-winning road-rail Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) re-power project.
Designed for the most demanding environments, the xCU serves as the central intelligence unit, seamlessly bridging the gap between traditional machinery and modern electric power.
-
Seamless Integration: Utilizes multiple CAN bus ports to orchestrate electro-hydraulic systems and 400Vdc energy storage.
-
Engine Emulation: Wide range analog inputs and digital outputs create a seamless engine emulation interface, allowing the base machine to operate exactly as intended—without the emissions.
-
Built for Extremes: Engineered to ensure reliability and safety in challenging off-highway and rail applications.
Dependable Control for Zero Emissions Marine Propulsion
The EVParts xCU delivers the uncompromising performance and reliability required for next-generation marine propulsion. Engineered as the central nervous system for modern vessels, it seamlessly integrates complex subsystems into a unified, dependable network.
-
Total System Integration: Effortlessly bridges vessel controls, marine multi-function displays (MFD), and energy storage systems.
-
Next-Gen Power Support: Native compatibility for both eOutboard systems and Hydrogen Fuel Cell integration.
-
Mission-Critical Reliability: Built to ensure consistent operation in the harshest maritime environments, providing peace of mind from harbour to open water.
The EVParts Toolchain: From Model to Water
The transition from a “desktop simulation” to “running hardware” is often the most difficult stage of development. The EVParts toolchain removes this friction through Automatic Code Generation
Integrating a vessel control system within a single Simulink environment is a sophisticated approach that moves marine engineering away from fragmented hardware silos toward Software-Defined Vessels. By unifying high-voltage (HV) power, thermal regulation, propulsion, and communication, you create a “digital twin” that ensures safety and efficiency before the boat ever hits the water.
