Product Highlights

eDRIVEsim is designed to conduct controller testing and HIL simulation of electric and power electronic systems including:

• PMSM, BLDC, and IM motor drives Automotive: Hybrid power trains, power steering, and auxiliary power systems Transportation: Train traction and auxiliary systems, ship propulsion systems Rectifiers and battery chargers Wind energy and power electronic distributed generation and distribution systems
• Industrial drives and multi-level converters

Other features include:

• Superior performance through use of INTEL CORE2 DUO CPUs and FPGA co-processor technology
• Scalable from 2 to 8 processors
• Can be used for fast power electronic control prototyping; implementing control algorithms and testing them in real-time and in both digital mode or HIL mode, by connecting the prototyped controller I/Os to either a virtual plant or a real-plant.
• Uses Simulink® as a front-end graphical modeling environment, and comes with a full range of software tools and libraries for the real-time modeling and simulation of power converters and motor drives.
• Uses Opal-RT’s OP5000 series of high speed Xilinx® -based FPGA I/O products as real-time targets
• Available in a 19-inch rack desk-side rack-mountable chassis or in a compact MX STATION portable chassis.
• Available in three hardware configurations to meet all customer needs.

eDRIVEsim includes support for RTLAB.JMAG™. Developed in cooperation with Tokyo-based JRI Solutions, RTLAB.JMAG combines Opal-RT’s RT-LAB real-time simulation technology with JMAG-RT®, part of JRI Solutions’ Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tool suite, allowing eDRIVEsim users to run accurate motor models with model data (inductance and torque map) generated from JMAG-RT. Subsystems designed with blocks from the Xilinx Blockset for Simulink can be incorporated into a model and executed on eDRIVEsim using an Opal RT OP5130 Xilinx FPGA chip
