Efficient and reliable development with the AIT HIL platform
Accelerate the development and deployment of your power converter controller with the cost-effective, proven and reliable control platform. Develop model-based control graphically directly from the HIL Control Center environment, automatically generate control code and integrate it directly with the AIT firmware stack into a one-click target application firmware.
WIDE RANGE OF ENERGY CONVERSION APPLICATIONS
Effortlessly create a digital real-time replica of your preferred grid-code-compliant power converter:
- Define the rated power and grid settings.
- Choose between the grid-support function or grid-forming mode.
- Customize the model for your power conversion application (grid-feed-in, microgrid, off-grid system, etc.).
- Execute various test cases using the HIL Control Center (or other open-source testing platforms).
- Validate your control and operational strategies for the power grid.
- Conduct grid integration and interoperability studies.
Develop Your Control Graphically
Design model-based controls graphically directly from the HIL Schematic Editor without manually writing C code:
- Automatically generate control code with just a few clicks.
- Easily integrate with the AIT firmware stack into a one-click build target application firmware.
- Load the application firmware onto your target controller using the secure, AIT-integrated bootloader and Boot Flasher application (no JTAG required!).
- Test and validate your control design with your HIL system.
- Connect the controller to your target power converter and start it!
Directly from HIL SCADA
Create your own graphical user interface using a wide range of HIL SCADA widgets. Access the application parameters and control settings via AIT CLI.
Hardware Protection Measures and Firmware Faults
- Built-in hardware protection features to safeguard power converter hardware
- Application-specific and user-adjustable firmware fault settings
- AIT Data Logger - records target application and power converter data in a CSV file
- AIT Scope/Phasor/Locus Tool - a powerful diagnostic tool capable of capturing internal controller waveforms, state-space vectors, and states, displayed as scope snapshots, phasor, and locus diagrams
