HIL Connect chassis

Description of the HIL Connect chassis.

The HIL Connect chassis serves as the fundamental building block of any HIL Connect system. Its front panel offers connectors for interfacing with one row of any HIL device. On the rear side, it offers access points for mains and CAN connections.

Via its passive backplane, the HIL Connect chassis can accommodate the following types of cards:

HIL signal conditioning (up to 32 x AO, 16 x AI, 32 x DO, 32 x DI)
CAN based cards (IO expansion, resistor emulation, etc)
PSU cards
