Main Features
■ Import models from various third-party power electronic simulation software.
■ Include detailed machine models and emulate resolvers and encoders, among others.
■ Change parameters during simulation using scenarios and parameters sets in order to generate faults and abnormal conditions, and to perform manual and automated testing.
■ Simulate complex power electronics circuits in real time, with the best accuracy, on FPGA (with the ability to simulate various converter topologies featuring large numbers of switches)
Discover OPAL-RT’s new range of flexible and configurable conditioning boards with Fault Insertion (FIU) for National Instruments’ Switch, Load, and Signal Conditioning (SLSC) platform.
The SLSC modules enables HIL users to maximize their time and resources through our configurable signal conditioning stage, ensuring that signals are the right level and type, as well as by providing configuration for voltage level shifting, dividing and multiplying or integrated filters and impedance matching.
Every card provides an on-board flexible fault insertion unit (FIU) giving full relay control during testing when applying faults to the Device Under Test (DUT) through NI’s VeriStand interface.
Part of the Automotive HIL Testbed Reference Architecture
OPAL-RT’s SLSC conditioning boards are part of the Automotive HIL Testbed Reference Architecture, which is an open and customizable solution allowing engineers to test and develop Electric Vehicles and Battery Management Systems in real time, using latest technologies.
With the Automotive HIL Testbed Reference Architecture, OPAL-RT provides an open, flexible solution that you can customize to adapt to changing research requirements for Electric Vehicle and Battery Management System testing.
By combining modular hardware and our FPGA-based simulation solver to easily import real-time models created with any modeling software, these systems help you take advantage of third party components to i) reduce your setup burden and ii) offer a common starting place for your research team members around the world.
With the Automotive HIL Testbed Reference Architecture, researchers can prototype a wide variety of electrical vehicular devices under test (DUTs).
By guiding the integration of complex automotive testing structures and helping engineers to develop specific EV and BMS HIL testing architecture based on best integration practices, OPAL-RT enables automotive manufacturers to cut costs, reduce risks and improve time-to-market.
The solution combines hardware and software from OPAL-RT, National Instruments, and other prime partners in order that each component can provide robust and unique functionality to leverage your EV & BMS testing systems.
Automotive HIL Testbed Reference Architecture
The OPAL-RT & Comemso BMS test bench approach allows users to integrate the BMS testing designed for electrical vehicles. OPAL-RT’s NI partnership solution makes it easier to migrate existing physical testbeds onto real-time HIL simulation platforms when testing all type of BMS testing projects. OPAL-RT provides the engineering required to extend the BMS HIL test bench’s functionalities, from extra protection, shunt emulation, break-out box, current and voltage sensing to complete integration of other controls for electrical vehicles, ADAS systems or a complete vehicle.
