Dana OpenECU Products
Rapid Prototype to Production
Dana OpenECU product line of off-the-shelf rapid control prototyping Electronic Control Units (ECUs) are designed to allow for customization and manufactured to automotive volume production standards. OpenECU® enables reliable, efficient and fast embedded controls electronics development and is a cost effective solution for low to medium volume production applications.
Previously Pi Innovo OpenECU, Dana acquired Pi Innovo in 2021 and carries on its history of working with embedded model based controls on large complex programs for more than 20. Their OpenECU rapid controls prototyping systems have been used engineering teams to develop a broad range of prototype and production embedded controls applications in markets including automotive, heavy-duty, off-highway, autonomous vehicles and aviation (flying cars).
OpenECU combines the robustness and reliability of a production ECU with a proven user friendly rapid controls prototyping development platform. Because our controllers are designed to be customized, our customers’ specific application needs can be satisfied without compromise.
Electric Vehicle Control Strategies
Electric Vehicle Control Strategy is a configurable Simulink Model Based Design control software to kick-start your electric vehicle supervisory control algorithm development, with seamless integration with OpenECU M560 and OpenECU M580 Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) embedded controllers. Delivered as application source code to customers.
Combined Charging System
Combined Charging System (CCS) Control Strategy is a Simulink Model Based Design control software for development of Vehicle Charge Control function in an M560 or M580.
