IAV Primero 2.0 gives developers the ability to easily distort the complex signal processing of lambda sensor signals. This allows a lambda sensor signal to be provided to the OBD algorithms in the engine control unit, which is modified using freely configurable error patterns.

Operating principle

The signal path of the lambda sensor is distorted at the vehicle level without the need to interfere with the functions of the engine control unit. This allows the effectiveness of the on-board diagnostics to be verified in its unmodified series condition and demonstrated as part of the vehicle approval process. IAV Primero 2.0 is thus a tool for the entire development process – from function development, application, and validation on test drives to demonstration to the authorities as part of the registration process (COP).

Benefits of IAV Primero

  • Support for a wide range of current and future lambda sensors (via software update)
  • Efficient use of limited test vehicles
  • Easy test execution thanks to predefined test configuration
  • Automatic and complete test documentation

New version now available!

We have redesigned our Primero hardware in response to feedback from our customers. The 2.0 generation of the IAV Primero incorporates our experience from the last 20 years. You will be able to order the IAV Primero 2.0 from 2024 and benefit from the new features.

How you can benefit from IAV Primero

  • Cost-effective testing: With IAV Primero, you save money on costly sensor replacements and can make better use of your resources by using the same vehicle for different types of tests.
  • User-friendly device configuration: Thanks to the predefined configuration files created during test planning, device configuration is quick and easy, even for untrained personnel.
  • Accurate and automated documentation: IAV Primero automatically documents the entire testing process, including important signals, settings, and serial numbers, reducing human error and streamlining the documentation process.
  • Compatibility with all types of lambda sensors: Our tool has unmatched compatibility with leading lambda sensor and control unit manufacturers, so you can continue to use IAV Primero in the future without compatibility issues

Application

IAV Primero 2.0 can be easily integrated into the signal path between the lambda sensor and the engine control unit in any vehicle environment using the universal cable harness. IAV Primero 2.0 can simultaneously control one linear and one binary sensor. Configuration and control are conveniently carried out via the user interface on a laptop, which is connected to IAV Primero 2.0 via USB. The existing CAN interface enables seamless integration of the data generated by IAV Primero 2.0 into the existing application environment (e.g., ETAS INCA). This means that your entire test sequence is automatically documented in full and without gaps

Intuitive user interface

All necessary test parameters can be set via a clear and easy-to-understand user interface. A primer configuration created in the test plan can be saved and easily imported into Primero for test execution. This ensures that all tests are performed with the correct settings, regardless of the personnel performing them.

Probe compatibility

IAV Primero 2.0 supports current probe models and control units. Its compatibility with the new OSIC driver from Bosch is unique. Thanks to the future-proof hardware design of IAV Primero 2.0, future probe models can also be supported via a software update.
Some outdated probe models are no longer supported by Primero 2.0. Please feel free to ask us about a latest-generation Primero. Detailed information on the supported probe/driver combinations can be found in the following compatibility matrix.
Is your probe/driver combination not listed? Please contact us (iav-primero@iav.de) and we will check whether support is possible

Accessories

To enable IAV Primero 2.0 to be easily integrated into any vehicle project, the scope of delivery for IAV Primero 2.0 also includes a USB connection cable and a universal adapter for connection to the power supply, the engine control unit, and lambda sensors. IAV Primero 2.0 is always supplied in a carrying case.

Download

This data package contains a firmware update that is necessary for full functionality. The firmware is included in the data package in the “firmware” folder (*.odn) and must be unzipped manually. After installing the user interface and activating Expert Mode, the firmware can be written to the device.
