2 EDfuse The modular system for intelligent measurement of operating and quiescent currents in the vehicle The best performance, comfort and safety are features which are required of all vehicles nowadays. In order for these demands to be fulfilled, the complexity of the vehicle continually increases and the number of control devices and electrical consumers also increases permanently. Electrically driven automobiles also promise a way to sufficient, efficient mobility. However, electrical energy in vehicles is a scarce commodity due to the limited storage capacity. This particularly applies to purely electrically driven vehicles as the range rapidly reduces is the use of electrical energy is not optimized. The consumption of fuel is also negatively affected in the case of vehicles with a conventional combustion engine, if the electrical energy is not distributed and used as well as possible. This is why optimization of the energy flow is extremely important. With EDfuse, a modular measurement system developed by EDAG, energy efficiency in the vehicle can be significantly increased. Currents and voltages are precisely detected and documents in order to determine the optimal distribution of electrical energy. Due to the integrated galvanic separation between measurement technology and the vehicle, as well as all measurement elements among themselves, measurements in on-board networks with different supply voltages are possible; low-volt, high-volt or combined lowhigh volt systems. It is not important whether short or long-term measurements are to be carried out. The existing fuse elements can simply be replaced with intelligent measurement sensors and the fuse function is maintained. EDfuse stands for comfortable and efficient validation of electrical energy distribution in the vehicle.

3 EDfuse The Product In contrast to standard measurement methods such as current probe measurement or digital multimeters, the EDfuse works self-sufficiently. After one-off installation, EDfuse can carry out the measurement independently and save the detected data. The data can be analyzed at a later date. EDfuse can be individually arranged according to your requirements and your interests. Due to the modular design of EDfuse, almost all challenges with respect to the distribution of energy in the vehicle can be mastered without any difficulties. EDfuse can be extended with further modules thanks to the modular construction. Whether in stationary or mobile use, the system can also do justice to complex demands. Due to the simple expansion of modules, EDfuse is suitable for use in the workshop as well as for performing highly complex measurements in vehicle development. You will receive an overview of the available components of the EDfuse measurement system on the following page. EDfuse offers solutions for a number of applications: Measurement of currents and voltages in high-volt and high-current systems of hybrid and electric vehicles. Identification of quiescent 1) and operating current problems. Validation and optimization of electrical energy distribution in vehicles. Long-term data storage of all measured currents and voltages. 1) Quiscent current = Ignition Off Draw (IOD)

4 EDfuse system overview It is an advantage of the EDfuse measuring system that it can be variably combined. You can select from the available components the ones which are required for your use and also expand your EDfuse measuring system in future at any time. The modules of EDfuse shown in the figure are illustrated on the following pages in detail. 2x Mini fuse PC ATO fuse Configurator Connecting cable Maxi fuse USB 8x Shunt CAN 12V CAN Interface 1 Connecting cable Clamp-on ammeter Current sensor High-volt CAN Interface 2-n Voltage sensor HV Terminating resistor Voltage sensor Battery case Breakoutcable Temperature sensor Service Case Fuse + Breakoutbox adapters

5 EDfuse Hand Device For mobile use in workshops: The hand device fulfils a central function among the EDfuse modules. Currents and voltages can be immediately measured and recorded due to the possibility of directly connecting two measurement sensors. Due to the simply menu guide, the hand device is quickly and simply ready-for-use, it saves large amounts of data and works self-sufficiently after the initial installation. Analysis of the data found on a SD memory card can therefore take place at a later date. For you, as the user, this guarantees high flexibility and less time. The hand device is designed for demanding temperature ranges and, thanks to the construction, can also be used under difficult external conditions. The integrated battery pack allows a long measurement period of up to eight hours. For complex applications: The device offers more advantages in automobile development, but also in difficult error patterns in the service area. In combination with one or several CAN interfaces or high-volt or high-current sensors, it can detect up to 200 measurement points parallel. The user quickly gains a full overview of the energy distribution in the vehicle. The device works like an CAN data logger. The hand device can also be conveniently used as a display, operating and storage device. Hand device technical specification: Temperature range between -20 C and +60 C (-4 F and 140 F) SD card for data storage up to 32 GB Protection class IP54 Robust construction suitable for the workshop Simple, self-explanatory operation Weight: ca. 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) Integrated charger Connection options for EDfuse CAN interface Connection options for EDfuse high-current and high voltage sensors Measurement period up to 8h with integrated battery pack for 2 sensors EDfuse Hand Device

6 EDfuse CAN Interface The EDfuse CAN interface takes over several central functions at once. It's main task is to combine the different EDfuse modules and provide obtained information either to the EDfuse hand device or external data loggers. Up to eight low-volt sensors for detecting current or voltage can be connected to the CAN interface. They are individually galvanically separated. Using the EDfuse hand device or an external data logger, the incoming information is processed further. As a user, you are therefore free to choose the data storage device. The number of measurement points can be increased to up to 200 by connecting several CAN interfaces (maximum 25). It is therefore possible to detect currents and voltages throughout the whole vehicle in all installation positions. The configuration of measurement points on the respective CAN interfaces takes place via EDfuse configurator software using the USB interface or the EDfuse hand device. Due to the widely detected operating voltage and temperature range, use in all areas of the vehicle is guaranteed without loss of function - including during operation. CAN interface technical specification: Temperature range between -40 C and +85 C (-40 F an d 185 F) Connection of up to 8 sensors Galvanic separation of individual sensors Robust construction suitable for the workshop Configuration using the hand device or PC software Weight: ca. 650 g (1.4 lb) Connection options for CAN interface Connection options for high-current sensors Operating voltage 9 to 36 V (external power supply) Protection class IP 54 CAN-Interface

7 EDfuse shunt 300A The EDfuse shunt expands the EDfuse family by current measurement in interruptible electrical circuits. Therefore the shunt is integrated into the electrical circuit directly and allows a recording of measurement values analogously and in combination with other sensors. The EDfuse shunt can be used either directly to the handheld or in conjunction with the CAN interfaces. EDfuse Shunt Shunt low-volt technical specification: EDfuse Shunt low-volt measurement range: -300 A to +300 A DC continuous load A to A DC temporary resolution : up to 1 ma operating temperature of -40 C to +85 C (-40 F and +185 F) scanning frequency up to 1 khz measurement accuracy better than 1%

8 EDfuse clamp-on ammeter 30A/1000A The EDfuse clamp-on ammeter opens up the possibility to measure currents to 30A or to 1000A, without having to undo the electrical circuit. This measurement procedure is suitable also for highvolt applications. Various vehicle conditions and in particular error situations can be analyzed in combination with other EDfuse sensors. EDfuse clamp-on ammeter 30A 1000A Technical specification Clamp-on ammeter 30 A: measurement range from -30 A to +30 A scanning frequency up to 1 khz resolution: ±1mA measurement accuracy: ±1% operating temperature: 0 C to 50 C (32 F to 122 F) pliers opening up: 25mm battery life: 30h continuous operation Technical specification Clamp-on ammeter 1000 A: measurement range from A to A scanning frequency up to 1 khz resolution: ±500mA measurement accuracy: ±1% operating temperature: 0 C to 75 C (32 F to 67 F) pliers opening up: 32mm battery life: 50h continuous operation

9 EDfuse high-volt current and voltage sensor With the development of current sensors in the high-volt range, the EDfuse is perfectly equipped for the automobile future of electric and hybrid vehicles. The detection of electrical factors works for you as a user in the same way as the sensors in the low-volt range. As an independent module, the high-volt and the high-current sensor are either directly used on the hand device or in combination with the CAN interfaces. Measurements in mixed operations can also be performed with these modules. This means that equipment which combines both low-volt and high-volt ranges is easy to realize with EDfuse. High-volt technical specification: EDfuse high-volt current sensor Measurement range : A to A DC Resolution : 1 ma For use in high-volt systems up to 1000 V DC (galvanic isolation) Operating temperature of -40 C to +85 C (-40 F and 185 F) Scanning frequency up to 1 khz High-volt connections on request according to customer requirements Measurement accuracy better than 1,5 % Current sensor for high-volt applications EDfuse high-volt voltage sensor Measurement range : V bis V DC Resolution : 1 mv For use in high-volt systems up to 1000 V DC (galvanic isolation) Operating temperature of -40 C to +85 C (-40 F and 185 F) Scanning frequency up to 1 khz High-volt connections on request according to customer requirements Measurement accuracy better than 1%

10 EDfuse low-volt measurement fuses The EDfuse measurement fuses MINI, ATO and MAXI are plugged instead of the vehicle fuse. The sensors take over measurement of the quiescent and operating currents as well as the modules protected by the fuse in the current path. Replacement of the sensors to measure quiescent currents and operating currents is not necessary. The same sensor guarantees both measurements with high accuracy. Measurement takes place using the original safety wire. You therefore always have the additional fuse function even when the system is not in the measurement mode and there is never an additional resistance in the circuit like on a standard current shunt. The fuse wire itself is used to measure the shunt voltage. MINI, ATO, MAXI technical specification: Temperature range between -40 C and +85 C (-40 F and 185 F) Available in all fuse sizes Measurement takes place using original fuse wire Scanning rate: max. 1 khz per sensor. Resolution: 4µA/Bit to 265 µa/bit, depending on sensor current ampere rating. Accuracy: better than 1% in the operating current range. Different parameters can be stored in each sensor which simplify the measurement analysis Low-volt current sensors

11 EDfuse low-volt voltage sensor The EDfuse voltage sensor offers a simple opportunity to detect voltages such as battery voltage, synchronized with the obtained current values. This allows you, as a user, to identify errors in the electronics caused by lower voltages in the vehicle. The overall picture of the energy flow in the vehicle is therefore represented. Low-volt voltage sensor Technical specification: Measurement range between -100 and +100 V Sample frequency up to 1 khz Resolution depending on sample rate between 0.2 mv/bit and 1.7 mv/bit Measurement error less than 0.5% Galvanix seperated Low-volt voltage sensor

12 EDfuse HiL-module The EDfuse HiL-module is an all-purpose, autarkical current measurement system for the use in hardware in the loop test beds. Whether components-hil, system-hil or complete vehicle HiL, you can use this measurement system for all sorts of applications in typical 19-inch racks. The application is rather simple. You have to place the EDfuse HiL-module in a free slot, feed to the supply voltage internally via a separate connector and thus, the current measurement system is ready for the use on the hardware side. The measurement system is parameterized with the enclosed configurator software via the USB existing at the front so that you can record current courses very exactly, time synchronously and in a broad range of measurement on eight channels by the use of this module to the current recording during your system tests. You can optionally configure the current measurement modules for different measurement ranges and fitting sizes. The use of up to 10 current measuring modules makes measurements possible simultaneously with up to 80 channels. The sampling rate of up to 1 khz per channel creates a detailed representation. With the logging of the measuring data via the frontal CAN you have a universal interface for the data recording and therefore you can process the incoming information in your HiL main system without further ado. By the open CAN protocol it is possible for you to process the data at any time compatible to other records. Also precise measurements in systems with different supply voltage are ensured by the integrated galvanic isolation of all measuring elements with each other. In addition it is possible to run the EDfuse HiL module as a self-sufficient measurement system with the optional EDfuse handheld or an external data logger. HiL-module Technical specification HiL-module supply Voltage U sup : 9 V to 36 V sampling rate: max. 1 khz per sensor, 8 khz cumulative sampling rate measurement accuracy: better than 1 % at operating current Measuring channels galvanic isolated Frame size: height 6 HE, wide 10 TE, further sizes on request customizable 8 channels per card, expendable on up to 10 current measuring modules Data format: Standard CAN, 1 Mbit, ID optional configurable Measurement ranges: 2 A, 5 A, 25 A higher measurement ranges on request resolution: 4 µa/bit to 265 µa/bit, depending on the measurement range

13 EDfuse temperature sensor Temperatures of -40 C to +105 C (-40 F to 221 F) ca n be taken up parallel to the usual current and voltage measurements of your EDfuse system by the EDfuse temperature sensor. Applications, such as the analysis of the current consumption within a climatic chamber cycle, therefore become possible. The temperature sensors can be integrated several times in a system configuration and therefore they offer the possibility to take measurements at different positions and exhibits. EDfuse temperature sensor Technical specification temperature sensor: working temperature: -40 C to 200 C sensor (-40 F to 392 F) -40 C to 105 C electronics (-40 F to 221 F) resolution: 0,1 K scanning frequency up to 1 khz measurement accuracy: ± 0,4 K + 0,002 T uncalibrated ± 0,1 K + 0,0017 T calibrated

14 EDfuse battery module The EDfuse battery module can be used for independent energy supply of the EDfuse measurement system and further measurement technology. The measurement time period and therefore the recording of data can be extended with the use of this module. With a battery capacity of 42 Ah and an integrated charger as well as additional connections for the supply of external units with a 12 V supply voltage, the battery module is more than "just" a battery case. It is possible to measure for 8 hours continuously with the maximum version of the battery module using 25 CAN interfaces and 200 measurement points. A configuration example with a CAN interface, the hand device and 8 measurement points allows a measurement of approx. 1 week. With the "Break-Out function" it is particularly easy to extract the CAN messages from the measurement internal CAN Bus using the battery module. A Break-Out function with all EDfuse signals in contained in the battery module (CAN, enable signal).the enable signal can be used to issue an impulse for the start of measurements. Battery module technical specification 42 Ah battery capacity 12 V supply voltage 12 V connection (power socket) Break-Out function (CAN) Charger with 3A charging current Digital display of battery State of Charge Integration in measurement equipment Additional storage space for transport of EDfuse measurement technology Weight: ca. 20 kg (44 lbs) Fixing options in the vehicle for safe transport Comfortable transportation of the case thanks to the "trolley" design with wheels Battery module
