Vehicle Control Unit MS 50.4

Vehicle Control Unit MS 50.4

The VCU MS 50.4 is a highly powerful processing / logging unit for race applications.

Based on our broad base of platform function, we support you with customized VCU functions for a tailor-made solution.

In addition, you can quickly develop your individual customer software based on MATLAB/Simulink to significantly speed up algorithm development (automatic code and documentation generation, requires CCA package) – including extensive simulation capabilities.
