Automotive Auxiliary Components Unit (AV-AC)
PL-418120
The Automotive Auxiliary Components Unit, “AV-AC”, offers a comprehensive and practical learning experience for acquiring advanced knowledge of modern electronic and electrical systems used in the automotive industry.
All sensors and actuators featured in the “AV-AC” unit are installed on individual mounting plates that include the component name, its standardized symbol, and 4 mm lab jacks for easy connection. These are real automotive components that can be linked simultaneously to the electronic control unit to simulate real-world operating conditions and system interaction.
Components can be mounted on the included vertical support frame, allowing for individual testing or complete system integration with the ECU for realistic automotive diagnostics and operation.
The included sensors and actuators cover a variety of essential automotive auxiliary systems: car lighting systems, windshield wiper and washer systems, power door lock systems, digital instrument panels, electric window systems, ultrasonic parking systems, and more. Each part is a genuine automotive-grade sensor or actuator.
Signal input and output—whether for measurements or control—is performed using analog and digital signals, PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), and CAN bus protocol, reflecting real vehicle signal communication.
Additionally, the “AV-AC” unit incorporates a fault generation module capable of simulating up to twelve different system faults, such as interruptions in the CAN bus network or errors in the 12 VDC power supply.
The “AV-AC” system comes with a comprehensive set of practical exercises designed to help students gain a solid understanding of how electronic and electric components function in today’s automotive technology.
