Introduction

The Base Module (BM) card is inserted in the first slot (left-most slot) of the chassis. Its main feature is to control the power moding circuitry that drives the power bus.

The board also has the following capabilities :

• Monitoring and control of the operating power provided to all modules
  • This feature includes Battery control and Rails control
• Monitoring of serial interfaces, in order to analyze the connection of serial tools to the ECU
  • This feature includes CAN termination control and Serial lines sensing (states and transition counts)
• Output of a trigger signal based on the model synchronization signal or the engine position, in order to facilitate the capture of waveforms synchronized with the model execution
• Identification of the whole set of cables connected to the simulator
• Overvoltage

Only one BM card can be installed in one OP6000V2 chassis.

The board  also supports the following features, which are common to all OP6200 I/O boards :

• Over-temperature detection
• Battery voltage compatibility
• Module information
• Activity and status LEDs
• Firmware Update
• Synchronization
• Cable Identification
