is there an AutoCAD drawing for HIL 606 somewhere so that I can download it? Thank you...

Can I physically connect TI Launchpad with Typhoon Hil ?device and use them remotely?

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 07:01:25 +0000

Hello,
I am wondering if I can physically connect TI Launchpad with Typhoon Hil and use remotely. If yes, how? Could you please send relevant documentation

Thanks for your help

HIL 402 license is not valid

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 15:56:34 +0000

Good afternoon,

A few months ago, I requested acces to the typhoon software in order to start a university project. The request was approved and I was provided with a license, that I activated as you can see in the second attached picture.

My university (Universitat Rovira i Virgili) has an available HIL 402 (details as the serial number provided) that, as you can see in the first attached picture, is detected by my pc but when I try to add the device to my setup, it clearly says that the license for selected device is not valid.

I'm not sure wether the problem is my license (given that iI got the free one and with my license I only can select 404 as the device) or the device's license. I'd really appreciate any kind of help on that matter. I would also like to know if the firmware can properly be updated (if it would still be compatible with the new version off typhoon center one) given that the current one is quite old (09-29-2022).

I can perfectly run my simulations in the schematics editor and the scada but I'd like to know if I would be able to run it on the HIL402 in order to get some physical feedback to an extern device.

Thank you very much for your help, it is truly kindly appreciated.

Salutations,

Voltage Ripple (Drift)

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 08:36:09 +0000

Hello,

Kindly treat this as urgent.

I am experiencing significant voltage ripple (voltage drift) in the reference current signal generated by my inverter using Field-Oriented Control (FOC). I am using the TI LaunchPad and have correctly applied scaling and offset. My code in Code Composer Studio (CCS) has been thoroughly checked, yet the inverter’s current output exhibits highly uneven peaks.

I measured the analogue outputs from both the Typhoon HIL interface and the LaunchPad, and both show similar uneven peaks. The analogue voltage representing the current drifts from the ideal 0–3 V range. Importantly, this drift is not linear; the minimum and maximum values fluctuate across different points within 0–3 V.

To rule out software errors, I passed a simple constant value from the Typhoon HIL schematic model. The input range was ±2250 A (in step of ±450 A), scaled appropriately, and sent to the LaunchPad. I have attached an Excel file with the results of the reference current for lines A and B of my inverter, in 0.3 V steps (0–3 V). The "Summary" sheet provides an overview, and each data point is labelled with the reference voltage and current. For example, 1.8 V is documented as 1.8V_450A. For these measurements, Oscilloscope ch3 is line A connected to AO1 and ch2 is line B connected to AO5.

I also tested different analogue outputs. While some show improved results, others remain suboptimal—for instance, AO1 (ADCINA4) shows particularly poor performance. I contacted TI, but they referred me to Typhoon HIL support as they do not have expertise with Typhoon.

The three-phase current results from the inverter are also included in the "Summary" sheet.

I would greatly appreciate your urgent guidance on resolving this issue.

Typhoonheck HIL 604 and uGrid DSP Interface 2.1 Compatibility

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 07:33:48 +0000

Hello Typhoon HIL Team,

I have a question regarding the compatibility of a legacy interface board with a newer HIL device.

I currently own a Typhoon HIL 604 device. In our lab, we also found two older interface board, the Typhoon HIL 3-DSP uGrid DSP Interface 2.1 and one single DSP Interface .

From the documentation I've found online, the uGrid DSP Interface is frequently mentioned alongside the Typhoon HIL 602 and 404 device. This has led to some uncertainty about whether it is safe and functionally compatible to connect this specific interface board to our HIL 604.

Could you please clarify:

Are the 3-DSP uGrid DSP Interface 2.1 and one single DSP Interface ophysically and electrically compatible with the Typhoon HIL 604?
If they are compatible, are any specific firmware updates, jumper settings, or configuration steps required on the HIL 604 or the interface board itself for proper operation?
If they are not compatible, what are the risks (e.g., potential for damage), and what would be the recommended interface solution for the HIL 604 for similar applications?

Any guidance or pointers to relevant documentation would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards,

Support Request – Noisy ADC Results with Typhoon HIL 101 and TI F28379D

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 06:59:32 +0000

I am facing an issue with the HIL 101 ADC output while measuring three-phase voltages and currents (40.82 V phase RMS, 60 Hz) via Simulink. Despite configuring scaling, offset, and filtering as per the documentation, the ADC signals appear noisy and step-like rather than clean sine waves. I would appreciate your advice on the correct ADC sampling strategy, the potential need for external RC filtering, and any recommended settings or references for this setup.

Problem with usb connectivity

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 08:08:31 +0000

I currently trying to connect the HIL101 to my Typhoon Control Center through either the USB or Ethernet port. At first I was using the 2025.2 and 2025.3 versions (tried with both USB and Ethernet) but I could never establish connectivity between the HIL101 and the Control Center, the device was never been found. Then I switched to the 2025.1 version and it only worked with the USB, after a month it stoped connecting (Unable to detect any HIL device). Here are a few strange behaviour that I observed:
- When the 2025.1 was not working and the USB is connected, just going to Device Manager would crash the program (Not responding) consistently. But if there is no USB connection, Device manager works just fine

- The 2025.2 and 2025.3 also have this strange crashing behaviour when I connect USB

Things I have done:
- Uninstall and reinstall the program with different versions

- Logout and login of my account

- Relog my hardware lisense

Update: I tried connecting to a different HIL101 device and everything works just fine with all 3 versions. I suspect this is a hardware issue, how may I resolve this?

Thanks

How can I download 3D CAD for typhoon 606

Wed, 21 May 2025 07:22:04 +0000

I would like to have 3D CAD of the typhoon so I can put it into a catia model of a server rack I am building

Is there a way to remotely toggle power to the typhoon 606?

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 16:18:48 +0000

For some reason, we are often running into an issue where the typhoon is not discoverable unless we toggle the power switch in the back. It is annoying to have to manually do this. Is there any way to hard reset the power of the system remotely?

Is it possible to integrate Typhoon HIL code with an API?

Fri, 07 Feb 2025 15:37:03 +0000

Is it possible to integrate Typhoon HIL code with an API to retrieve real-time data from my solar panel via an app and use it as an input in Typhoon HIL?

connection issues between the Typhoon HIL software and hardware

Tue, 19 Nov 2024 07:46:44 +0000

we are encountering intermittent connection issues between the Typhoon HIL software and hardware. Are there known factors or settings that can affect the stability of the communication link?
