The Challenge

Deliver an integrated operating Airbag Accelerometer tester in less than two months ready for MY2004 production testing.

The Solution:

PTM's engineering team, worked day and night to meet an aggressive schedule to deliver on schedule a fully integrated product.  PTM designed the specialized communications PCB to interface to both Restraint Control Modules (RCM) and Satellite accelerometer (SAT) sensors.  Using a Labview^TM based control system, PTM integrated and tested the communications PCB, a PTM ISO 9141 board, a DACTRON Control System, a Unholtz Dicke Thruster, and fixtures to hold the SCM's and RCM's in place while sustaining a 30G or 60G shock.

Hardware

Hardware consisted of the developed communications for the proprietary protocol for the RCM and SAT, and ISO 9141, a KOYO PLC, an Industrialized PC, Thruster and thruster control system, and relay control electronics.

Software

Software included embedded software to operate the communications PCB's, Ladder Logic to operate the PLC, and a Labview^TM Interface to operate the test system and environment.
