Customer Challenge

The challenge was to design and develop software for a thermal conditioning unit, a product to be developed from scratch in India. The software had to be fully adjustable and created in such a way that the test system could be developed in advance of hardware being connected to it.

Scope

  • Scope of the project is to take software development responsibilities of MUC software and to design an emulator for testing different releases — a solution that can be used across all future trains.
  • Prepare concept documentation, software requirements, and a robust design system for the project.
  • Develop the software for the same and prepare test specifications and test reports.
  • Release all necessary documents in product data management software.

Solution

  • We designed the hardware emulator as per the system requirements.
  • Our team delivered maintenance and versioning of MUC software.
  • We created concept documents for thermal conditioning unit software.
  • We migrated the software environment from CODESYS to C/C++ as per project requirements.
  • Our team designed and developed the software and carried out testing work with the thermal conditioning unit team in India.

Features

  • Quest Global designed emulator has inbuilt functionalities of batteries, thermal conditioning units, HVR units and more.
  • Reviewed the possibilities of different controllers for the thermal conditioning unit software development from a cost perspective.
  • Thermal conditioning unit design complies to requirement to have cooling as well as heating for Li-Ion batteries and cooling for DC-DC converter for charging.
  • Additional features incorporated such as silent mode of operation or logging of operational hours and power cycles of components for commissioning.

Benefits

  • Design is compatible with European train projects and can be used as a platform solution across all future battery-operated train projects
  • The design takes into account human factors and all safety regulations
  • The emulator we supported  to design and develop is a useful and cost-effective alternative to standard verification and testing work.
  • With the emulator, software unit test and partial system integration test is possible at India site.

Integrity matters: Protecting against job search scams

It has come to our attention that scammers have tried to mislead people by fictitiously claiming to be employees of Quest Global or posing as authorized recruitment partners. These entities are misguiding job-seekers by promising well-placed roles with our company and asking candidates to pay for a certification course with a promise of reimbursement once they have joined. Kindly note, Quest Global conducts a formal interview process in our search for extraordinary people. We would NEVER ask candidates to pay for certifications at any stage of the recruitment process.
