Establishing of appropriate simulation models, capable to emulate the relevant properties of the subsystems and their interaction, allows the development under laboratory conditions without necessity to have continuous access to the affected system or physical components. In order to enhance the further development and optimisation of the embedded software of a mobile diagnostic and performance analysis system, intended for redundant mobile data acquisition parallel to the machine controller, a low cost technology demonstrator was developed. The demonstrator enables the emulation of adequate analog and digital signals corresponding to the modules of the device for automated attaching of the supporting wires for hops, as well as reliable and repeatable introduction of different type of phenomena within the deterministic control cycle.demodel based designtechnology demonstratorembedded softwaremechatronic systems in agricultureText/Conference Paper1617-5468
