Electronic Control Unit

The BODY570 is a robust and reliable electronic unit that is particularly suitable for automotive applications. It is designed for application development in accordance with ISO.26262 / ASIL-D and security regulations (Safety Element out of Context - SEooC). It supports the most demanding Electric Vehicle (EV) / Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) supervisory control applications.


It allows developing control applications using our dedicated interfaces for Simulink® environment or for C-language. The Simulink-API allows users to rapidly develop Model-Based Control applications in Simulink using the features provided by LIBRA® or LIBRA-SAFE software platforms. LIBRA-SAFE (Functional Safety) is an SW platform allowing to development of control applications for a system that meets safety goals up to ISO 26262 ASIL D. Due to the high number of I/O lines and communication interfaces (CAN-FD, Lin, Flexray ) it allows developing high quality and complex systems by interacting with systems such as powertrain, energy recharging systems and all systems like onboard sensors and actuators.

It is equipped with a dual processor architecture to implement algorithms quickly and reliably, using the most modern "model-based design" systems (MATLAB® / Simulink®). The onboard operating system (LIBRA®) and a powerful real-time debugging system (EthDE®) allow you to develop applications without having to commit resources to implementing low-level software. Measurement and calibration will be possible using any commercial calibration tools (ETAS INCA®, Vector CANape®, ATI Vision®, etc.)* via XCP on CAN and XCP on Ethernet.


The software team supports the customer in maintaining and updating the base software, operating system, and interface development environment to ensure that all project functional requirements are fully satisfied first of the product launch on the market.

But the body570 doesn't stop at development, it is designed to be customized after development, so we can meet customers’ specific application needs without compromise. Our final use product is designed to meet functionality, quality, and cost drivers.

This in addition of our engineering capability enables us to supply delivering full electronic systems in volume production.
