dSPACE DS1103, Hardware Installation And Configuration Manual

Page: 16 / 302

If you intend to use dSPACE products outside enclosed tracks, you
have to check with the relevant authorities in your country under
which circumstances this is possible. You and the local authorities
involved bear full responsibility for such use.
You must take appropriate measures to ensure that the overall system
enters a safe state if a dangerous situation occurs, for example, by
implementing emergency shutdown or a limp-home mode. This
especially applies in the following cases:
n
Where safety-critical interventions that affect vehicle behavior are
performed, for example, the stimulation of a bus system such as
CAN, or the calibration or bypassing of in-vehicle electronic
control units (ECUs) that control powertrain, chassis, or body
systems.
n
Where dSPACE products are deployed in conjunction with ECUs
which would be a hazard if they malfunctioned.
The guidelines accordingly apply to the use of dSPACE products in
aircraft or vessels in line with the contractual purposes.
Safety Precautions for Transportation
The DS1103 PPC Controller Board installed inside the expansion box
will be damaged during transportation and shipment!
Due to the weight of the heat sinks on the board, both the expansion
box and the board itself will be damaged by acceleration and shocks.
n
For shipment and transportation, remove a DS1103 from the
expansion box (PX4, PX10 or PX20).
n
Ship the board separately from the box.
n
Put it in an antistatic bag and then in a strong cardboard box, in
which the board is firmly fixed against movement.
