Coming Soon: Steer-by-Wire at ZF Lenksysteme
dSPACE NEWS EDITORIAL TargetLink cuts development time by approx. 40% Seamless design chain based on dSPACE tool suite TargetLink generated code will go into series ECU Coming Soon: Steer-by-Wire at ZF Lenksysteme X-by-wire: A hot topic for all car manufactures and suppli- ers when exploiting potential areas for improving vehicles. In this context, ZF Lenksysteme (ZFLS) is developing the first generation of steer-by-wire systems, planned to be avail- able on the market in the near future. To develop the corre- sponding electronic control unit (ECU), ZFLS opted exclu- sively for dSPACE tools. Func- tion prototyping is performed with dSPACE Prototyper, and to generate the code auto- matically for the target hard- ware, ZFLS uses TargetLink. By choosing TargetLink as the production coder, ZFL
