Intelligent Control Module ICM-200

ICM

The ICM-200 is a user definable control module that enhances a vehicle's functionality via visual programming logic.   The module interfaces with multiple vehicle systems to sense and control devices, using SimulinkTM  to visually model and simulate a vehicle system.  The ICM is an integral component of the instrumentation system for communication and control of vehicle components.

ICM-200 enables the user to leverage advanced diagnostics and a wide array of inputs to enhance a vehicle's telematics system with a more detailed view of the vehicle status.   This can be accomplished with a stand alone tool or become part of the vehicle's instrumentation, with an overall status display highlighting any faults in the system and identifying the zone/module reporting the fault, or a "scope like" detailed status display.

  • Overview +


    ICM connects with multiple vehicle systems to sense and control devices.  It interfaces with digital data, sensors, switches, motors, lights, solenoids, etc. and allows the user to easily program the behavior they desire.   Via SimulinkTM, the user can visually model and simulate a vehicle system, test early and often, and automatically generate code for the vehicle application.

    The system replaces the historic functions of fuses and relays, and adds the capability of SAE J1939 CAN communications and custom programming for the control of chassis components.  Through SimulinkTM, the ICM can eliminate many small modules on the vehicle like speed switches, complex flasher modules and interlock modules.  The ICM is an integral part of the instrumentation system for communication and control of vehicle components.
