From Control Design to Validated Hardware

Power electronics engineers use Simulink and Speedgoat hardware to develop digital control systems for motor drives, power converters, and battery management systems. Control algorithms for electric motor drives, multi-level inverters, power grids, and battery systems are designed and implemented in Simulink, then connected to physical equipment through flexible I/O and signal conditioning interfaces.

With automated testing, on-the-fly parameter tuning, and flexible data logging, teams accelerate product development across consumer electronics, medical, robotics, industrial automation, and energy production and distribution.

01

Rapid Control Prototyping

Develop and test digital controllers

Deploy Simulink control algorithms to Speedgoat hardware with one click and connect directly to your power converter.

• Flexible PWM generation for direct converter connection
• Read back position, speed, voltage, current, and temperature via encoders, resolvers, LVDT, and analog interfaces
• Simulate and deploy supervisory and closed-loop control with a wide library of electrical modeling components

02

Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing

Validation and verification of controllers

Validate your controller in real time against a deterministic model of the electrical system, including power sources and loads.

• Reuse desktop simulation models for automated tests across operating and fault conditions
• Partition models across multiple CPU cores and Simulink-programmable FPGAs
• High-speed analog, digital, and fiber-optic interfaces with deterministic data transfer

Why HIL

Test Earlier. Protect your Equipment.

Growing control system complexity and time-to-market pressure call for more advanced testing methods. Developing a controller directly on a motor or inverter can be inefficient and may damage equipment. Hardware-in-the-Loop testing offers a safer alternative, enabling thorough testing across a complete range of operating and fault conditions.

Model physical behavior accurately with Simscape Multibody and Simscape Electrical, and emulate sensors and actuators through flexible Speedgoat hardware. With HDL Coder and Speedgoat FPGAs, teams can run closed-loop real-time simulation in average mode and replicate transient switching at sub-microsecond granularity.
