An Innovative Portable Device for Diesel Engines and Transmission Electronic Control Units Diagnosis and Debug

Heavy-duty construction machinery together with all the diesel engine-based vehicles, as those used for logistics and transportation, are of paramount importance for the economy in both developed and under development societies. Despite the strong interest in e-mobility recently, it is practically very difficult to replace diesel engine-based vehicles by electrical alternatives specifically for application domains associated with logistics and heavy construction works. Traditionally, these vehicles are characterized by high costs of investment and ownership, expensive repair and maintenance services and requirement for high operational availability. This paper presents the design of a portable that allows the diagnosis and debugging of electronic control units of transmission systems as well as diesel engines. Amongst the most advantages of this device are the capability of effective service in-situ and its versatile support of all the existing commercial transmissions and diesel engines. Moreover, the total repair cost and time are significantly decreased.
