How vehicle systems work together
Modern vehicles contain many control units that exchange information. Finding a fault means understanding not just an individual part, but the signals passing between components.
Original components
Original components let learners practise on real vehicle technology.
Electrical investigations
Test sockets, bridging plugs and diagnostic connections provide direct access for measurements.
Troubleshooting
Switchable faults can be measured and traced using the diagnostic functions.
Our training systems at a glance
The models below cover vehicle networks, electronic braking, control systems and climate control.
CAN / LIN bus training model
Training model with original components for measurement and diagnostics on CAN and LIN networks.
Networked vehicle electronics on the real system
The training model is mounted on a mobile aluminum frame and includes an original dashboard, the complete lighting system and the instrument illumination of an Audi A6.
Various control units and vehicle components are functionally networked, enabling practical examination of CAN and LIN bus systems.
For fault simulation, at least eight predefined faults according to DIN ISO are integrated via toggle switches. Electrical measurements can be carried out directly in the system using bridging plugs and externally accessible measurement sockets. The OBD diagnostic connector also enables diagnostics using standard commercial testing equipment.
ABS / EDS / ASR / ESP training rig
Fully functional training rig for the practical examination of electronic braking and vehicle-dynamics control systems.
Examine electronic vehicle dynamics realistically
The mobile training rig features a fully functional original ABS-ESP MK60 system.
Special electronics provide a realistic representation of vehicle-dynamics processes during acceleration and braking. This allows ABS, ASR and ESP control processes to be observed and examined directly on the system.
Interfaces for computer data acquisition, fault simulation and universal circuit-diagram panels enable comprehensive examination of the system. The supplied VW diagnostic software with OBD interface allows, among other things, reading and clearing the fault memory and recording actual values.
DSRE functional training rig
Digital control and regulation electronics for teaching basic and advanced relationships in control engineering.
From the sensor to the closed control loop
The functional training rig is used to examine and explain fundamental relationships in control engineering.
Sensors, electronic signal processing and actuators can be viewed in their overall context and used for different technical tasks.
A computer evaluation unit is required to analyze and demonstrate the various control processes.
VW Climatronic training rig with parking heater
Mobile training rig with original VW Golf dual-zone Climatronic components for practical diagnostics, measured-value analysis and examination of climate-control and heating functions.
Examine climate-control and heating systems on a real vehicle setup
The training rig is built from original components of a VW Golf dual-zone Climatronic system. Actuator diagnostics can be performed and measured values can be read via the OBD interface using standard workshop diagnostic testers.
Service connections are freely accessible. Condenser and evaporator pressure are displayed directly, while a residual-bus simulator generates missing CAN bus signals such as engine speed and vehicle speed so that the complete climate-control unit can be operated correctly.
Item no. 00002635 with parking heater. Variant 00002638 without parking heater. A 230 V power supply is available as an optional accessory.
VW 2-Zone Climatronic Simulation Model
Compact training model for practical examination and diagnostics of a VW 2-zone Climatronic system, without refrigerant and without a driven compressor.
Train control behaviour realistically without a refrigerant circuit
The training model operates without refrigerant and without a driven compressor. The control behaviour of the Climatronic system is simulated electronically.
System diagnostics can be performed via the integrated OBD connector using standard workshop diagnostic testers. Installed residual-bus simulators generate the required signals for compressor control and vehicle speed. This makes it possible, among other things, to demonstrate speed-dependent control of the ram-air flaps.

Measurement technology
Record and correctly evaluate voltages, signals, pressure values and other system variables.
Vehicle diagnostics
Use fault memory and actual values together with electrical measurements for systematic diagnostics.
Fault simulation
Introduce defined faults into the system and examine their effects on functions and diagnostic information.
Bus systems
Examine CAN and LIN communication as well as the interaction of multiple control units.
Control loops
Understand sensor values, setpoint/actual comparisons and actuator responses in closed control loops.
Vehicle dynamics
Analyze ABS, ASR and ESP functions using realistic operating conditions.
Find the right equipment for your course
The most suitable rig depends on the subject you teach and the test equipment you already have.
Frequently asked questions about comfort and safety training
Which comfort and safety systems can be studied?
Depending on the model, learners can examine CAN/LIN communication, climate control, electronic braking and ABS, ASR or ESP functions.
Can students examine faults and control processes in practice?
Yes. On suitably equipped rigs, faults can be introduced and their effects traced through measurements and diagnostic information.
