ESCAPEpro is GIGATRONIK’s breakthrough System Modeling solution for distributed
embedded real time systems. ESCAPEpro provides integrated engineering throughout the
whole process of E/E-engineering from the first idea down to production code.
ESCAPEpro reduces development time & costs. Solutions can be reused even in case of
technological changes. ESCAPEpro integrates and manages cross border engineering teams
in large scale mission critical projects.

ESCAPEpro perfectly integrates with e-PLM-solutions like ZUKEN’s DS-2/E .cable and thus
delivers the first fully integrated E/E-solution with variants and version management, cable
and harness design, workflow management as well as SAP and CATIA support.
E/E System Modeling
ESCAPEpro provides modeling, design and analysis of distributed embedded real time systems of any degree of complexity and size. From the mission
level at which functions and features can be defined, tested and documented by using an executable specification via the solution level, where
functional solutions can be reused and partitioned to graphically defined architectures of buses and devices to the implementation level where the
final software is generated in today’s existing environments as well as the electrical schematics. The integration with e-PLM delivers full consistency
of all data across all stages of a project and across all variants, derivates and versions of a product and ist parts.

What is ESCAPEpro?
ESCAPEpro, an intuitive graphical E/E-engineering environment, integrates all data of a product into a reference model. It also integrates all
phases of a project and all participating members.
The combination of solution-independent functional design with technology-independent solutions and physical implementation leads to huge
savings in engineering. This is proven by the engineering of rail vehicles control software resulting in a reduced development time from 6 months
to 6 weeks only.

Fault back tracking - model based diagnosis and remote debugging
ESCAPEpro provides a fault back tracking
analysis. Any logical element, sensor,
actuator, HW-channel, SW-module, ECU,
bus cable or signal can be marked “faulty”.
ESCAPEpro analyses the possible causes for a
fault and displays the result of the analysis
graphically across all hierarchies and views.
The picture on the right shows an analysis,
where a bulb has been marked “faulty”.The
information needed to carry out this
analysis (dependencies) can be derived
automatically e.g. from existing Simulinkmodels.
ESCAPEpro can upload actual process values
from a plant e.g. via TCP/IP and display the
values in the functional model. If the
embedded system supports forcing, the user
can “force” values into the plant directly out
of his logical architecture model view.
�Integration with PDM/PLM backbone
Failure effects analysis
ESCAPEpro provides a failure mode effects
analysis. Any logical element, sensor,
actuator, HW-channel, SW-module, ECU, bus
cable or signal can be marked “faulty”.
ESCAPEpro displays the result of the analysis
graphically across all hierarchies and views.
The left picture shows an analysis, where an
ECU has been marked “faulty”, the logical
view marks red all elements mapped to that
ECU and marks orange the elements
depending on information from that ECU
(secondary faults).

System architecture design and optimization
ESCAPEpro provides a graphical design view to the technical architecture of a distributed embedded system, the HSB (hardware structure
builder). The HSB enables to create devices, buses, messages and protocols. Existing message catalogs can be transformed into ESCAPEpromessage
types, in terms of AUTOSAR “PDUs”. Thus the back-annotation of messages to logical functions can be achieved.
The ECU structure view enables the user to look inside an ECU and to configure it via drag & drop mechanisms. Functional elements mapped to
the ECU can be mapped to the real resources of an ECU just by dropping into a graphical representation of the ECUs resource, e.g. a task or an
input/output. ESCAPEpro’s dependency analysis supports work on the logical design as well as on the physical design.
Signals are generated automatically by mapping functions and solution elements to components in the HSB. Signals can be mapped into
messages and ESCAPEpro automatically carries out a bus load calculation. Protocols like SAE J-1939 are supported. ESCAPEpro works
independently from bus technologies. Support for buses like CAN, LIN and FlexRay can be loaded as a plug-in at any time needed.
ECU configuration and code generation
ESCAPEpro supports the configuration of ECUs graphically. The ECU is displayed in all its
parts:
� HW: I/O-ports, power supply, ...
� Bus communication channels,
� Tasks, functions / applications
� Operating system, target description (resources like processor, RAM, ROM, ...)
Functions and solutions can be mapped to ECUs. The ECU’s configuration is done after the
mapping. The solution elements (HW/SW) are allocated to ECU resources via drag and
drop. From the ECU structure view ESCAPEpro generates models for tool chains of
different vendors. ESCAPEpro seamlessly integrates not only proven tool chains
themselves but also their long history of knowledge and application rather than starting
from scratch.
ESCAPEpro generates models and data e.g. for Woodwards Simulink-based MotoHawkdevelopment
environment as well as for GIGATRONIK’s own GIGAbox series of
prototyping-ECUs. Without affecting the existing tool chain ESCAPEpro generates all
data just like an engineer doing it manually with the original tools. The tool chain
needn’t to be changed since ESCAPEpro enables a smooth migration from today’s cost-
and time-intesive, error-prone manual development towards a fully automized model
based development and code generation. Additionally, the traditional C-Codedevelopment
is supported (e.g. CodeWright).

Integrated Engineering
With ESCAPEpro a quantum leap in E/E-engineering has been reached: Integrated engineering based on data. ESCAPEpro’s EE-engine or any
standard PDM/PLM-Backbone (e.g. ZUKEN DS-2) serves as the “single point of truth” storing engineering objects, that are shared between the
tools of different engineering disciplines. ESCAPEpro and E
3
.cable work on the same objects in the backbone. Both tools use a common set of
objects’ attributes (e.g. an ECU) and additionally have their private attributes. All data is stored with the object, with a guaranteed consistency
during every phase of the project.

Organisation
(Companies,Areas,Groups )
ESCAPEpro provides a process modeling toolbox. The engineering process can be defined and analysed in full graphics. The dependency analysis
features of ESCAPEpro will state the implications if there is a change in the product: which tasks have to be run, which companies and which experts
have to be involved and how long would it take to implement a change; which parts of the product are affected by the change of a component, a
piece of software or a bus communication message. Late changes in a project will no longer frighten your engineers and the management will get
reliable estimations.
Variants and versions
ZUKEN’s e-PLM offers everything needed to handle complex, electronically controlled products with many variants, versions and derivatives. This
includes baselining, workflow management and reuse/share-mechanisms. ESCAPEpro takes full advantage of these features and makes life easier
for your engineers. The intuitive graphical user interface of ESCAPEpro also controls the access to the data backbone and delivers just the
information the user is looking for without knowing anything about dataschemas and programming. Find out how relaxed engineering could be.
