Hardware in the Loop Simulation for Bottle Sealing Process Virtualized on Unity 3D

On the Stability of Hardware in the Loop Simulation

Concerning the first point, we want to emphasize that our work broadens the range of applicability of HIL technology. For example, it yields the opportunity to analyze how new equipment, such as a new motor, will affect a complex power system before installation of the real equipment. Obviously, the analysis of situations where a power exchange is involved complicates any stability analysis. Fo...

Introduction to Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation

Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation is a technique that is used in the development and test of complex process systems. HIL simulation provides an effective platform by adding the complexity of the plant under control to the test platform. The complexity of the plant under control is included in test and development by adding a mathematical representation of all related dynamic systems. These...

High-Fidelity Transmission Simulation for Hardware-in-the-Loop Applications

As automotive manufacturers strive to improve fuel-efficiency of their products, all components and sub-systems that go into a vehicle are under closer examination in order to minimize energy losses. In transmissions in particular, a great deal of effort is being put into assessing exactly how much power is lost, and what can be done to reduce those losses and improve overall efficiency. By inv...

Ibex - A Framework for Hardware in the Loop Simulation

The design of control-algorithms for mechatronic systems is in general difficult and error-prone. Therefore, a common practice is to use Hardware in the Loop Simulation (HILS) for an incremental test and development process. Ibex is a real-time simulation software framework for HILS which has been designed specially for rapid prototyping. A key feature of Ibex is its modular architecture. One t...
