AIT HIL Controller

Accelerate your power converter control development and deployment with the cost-effective, proven, and reliable controller platform.

Develop model-based control graphically directly from the Typhoon HIL Control Center environment, auto-generate control code, and straightforwardly integrate with the AIT firmware stack into one-click-ready-to-build target application firmware.

HIL & Controller bundle

True plug and play, with no additional signal conditioning required to interface your HIL Controller with any of your Typhoon HIL’s real-time devices. Like your HIL, every HIL Control is a HIL Compatible building block for your high fidelity real-time HIL testbed.

Wide range of power conversion applications

Single platform

Build a real-time digital replica of your preferred grid-code compliant power converter, with ease:

  • Set the nominal power rating & grid settings.
  • Select between grid support function or grid forming modes.
  • Tailor the model of your power conversion application (power system feeder, micro-grid, off-grid system, etc.)
  • Execute various test cases within the Typhoon HIL Control Center (or any other open-source test platforms).
  • Validate your power system control and operation strategies.
  • Conduct grid integration and interoperability studies.
Develop your control graphically

No coding

Develop model-based control graphically directly from Typhoon HIL Schematic Editor without a need to write C code manually (unless you really want to).

  • Auto-generate control code in few clicks.
  • Straightforwardly integrate with the AIT firmware stack into one-click-ready-to-build target application firmware.
  • Upload the application firmware into your target controller via the secure AIT built-in bootloader and Boot Flasher application (no JTAG required!).
  • Test and validate the control design with your Typhon HIL system.
  • Plug the controller into your target power converter, and run it!
Monitor and control

Directly from HIL SCADA

Build your own graphical user interface by utilizing a wide selection of HIL SCADA widgets.

Access the application parameters and the controller settings via AIT CLI.

Diagnostics

Hardware Protections and FW Faults

  • Built-in hardware protections designed to ensure the protection of your power converter hardware
  • Application-specific and user settable firmware faults
  • AIT Data Logger – log the target application and power converter data into the CSV file
  • AIT Scope/Phasor/Locus tool – a powerful diagnostic tool, able to capture the internal controller waveforms, state space vectors, statuses, and display them as scope snapshot-, phasor- and locus-diagrams

EV rapid control prototyping with the Infineon-Typhoon HIL solution

Working in a simulated real-time environment allows for observing control behavior in diverse scenarios with the safety of personnel and equipment guaranteed, since power flows are represented digitally instead of physically.
