Electronic Control Units (ECU's) & S/W

RDM designs, develops and supplies Electronic Control Units (ECU's) for use in the Automotive sector and in other industrial applications. We employ engineers skilled in both ECU hardware and software design and our experience and systems knowledge enable us to design ECU interfaces to a wide range of vehicle applications. RDM also specializes in the redesign of existing ECU's to reduce costs and improve efficiencies. Our quality, service, technical support, and investment in all areas of our business combined with continual searching for ways of bringing costs down make us the RIGHT SUPPLIER for you for your ECU requirements.

No ECU project is considered too small or too large and whether it is a system appraisal or a bespoke turnkey solution RDM can assist you through the entire process.

ELECTRONIC DESIGN

We offer a complete ECU design service ranging from analysing the requirements to producing a finished product. Projects are taken from product specification through circuit and schematic diagrams to component selection, including programmable devices, and PCB layout. Prototype ECU and production part supply including selection of interface connectors, link wiring harnesses, enclosure and any requirements for fixings and brackets. Close contact is maintained with the client to ensure the product meets the specification.

The range of ECU's completed for clients is vast and includes the very simple units right through to highly complex body controllers. We specialize in CAN based systems and latest communication technology (GPRS, GSM, Bluetooth and GPS).

Special requirements for EMC hard and high performance ECU parts can also be accommodated.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

A structured development approach providing full documentation and requirements analysis through the product / project lifecycle. Analysis of real time software in real time hardware systems and the use of computer aided development and analysis tools. Our design team are skilled in a number of development platforms and a wide range of ECUs to suit the client requirements.

VALIDATION & VERIFICATION

RDM uses FMEA, PPAP, IMDS, REACH and other design and process validation techniques together with specific customer requirements to validate the suitability of the ECU products it designs.

We use in house and external validation of ECU's to client requirements ranging from electrical performance tests, vibration, humidity, environmental right through to EMC and type approval.
