Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing allows you to test and validate embedded control units for aircraft, vehicles, power electronics, and machinery as well as their constituent subsystems such as electric motors or power grids, by using digital twins of the plants.
Follow the HIL workflow to enhance test safety and reduce time and cost. Ensure a broader test coverage over scenarios that would otherwise be dangerous or expensive to do so with actual plants.
Streamline your controller development journey by leveraging HIL testing solutions from Speedgoat and benefit from seamless interoperability with Simulink®.
Scalable HIL simulators that unite test systems with power supplies, signal conditioning, and breakout panels.
Seamlessly deploy plant models from desktop simulation to HIL testing entirely within Simulink®.
Choose from 200+ analog, digital and configurable I/O modules and a vast selection of communication protocols.
Add I/O modules as needed and effortlessly configure I/O and protocols with ready-to-use Simulink® driver blocks.
Run algorithms and I/O at MHz sample rates using Simulink® programmable FPGAs.
Handle thousands of communication and sensor signals at desired low/high power levels.
Synchronize several HIL test systems, transfer data in deterministic real-time, and use shared memory.
Sample high-fidelity digital twins in real-time at multiple rates of up to 100kHz on powerful multicore CPUs.
Full-size rack (42U) for system-level testing: e.g. testing entire vehicles, aircraft, grids, or machinery.
Mid-size rack (22U) for component-level testing: e.g. testing battery management systems (BMS).
Standalone Performance test system for office- and lab-based testing of individual embedded controllers.
Speedgoat and MathWorks® support you at all stages: from configuring the test systems and on-site commissioning to ensuring that the test systems remain operational throughout their lifecycle.
Our HIL experts are on hand to assemble modular HIL racks that meet your specific testing needs: Your HIL racks can be equipped with signal conditioning, power sources and loads, and fault insertion units as well as the required I/O connectivity and cabling — a complete plug-and-test solution for your immediate use.
Upon request, we can also accompany you during site- and factory-acceptance testing (FAT/SAT) to verify signals and connectivity.
Navigate the slides below to see a step-by-step breakdown of a typical HIL workflow: from requirements definition to controller testing and validation. Learn more about the individual steps in our video: Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing - A Workflow Introduction.
Speedgoat solutions supports you at all stages of model-based design testing: spanning control design development and controller testing — and thus enabling a complete workflow that is rooted in Simulink®.
You can easily deploy Simulink® models with a single click onto Speedgoat test systems; this allows you to remain immersed within Simulink® whilst bestowing you the freedom to alternate efficiently between control design prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop testing — respectively repurposing Speedgoat hardware as either the controller prototypes or the simulated/emulated digital twins of the plants.
Leverage the Speedgoat-Simulink® workflow for a lean and agile approach to developing complex controllers at reduced cost, time, and risk. Benefit jointly from the modular and scalable Speedgoat test systems that seamlessly interoperate with the vast ecosystem of Simulink® tools as well as test automation and continuous integration platforms.
