The Inverter Test System Software Suite is a pre-defined set of development
environments, instrument drivers, and related toolkits required for creating and
executing tests with the ITS-16200.
The ITS-16200 uses the NI PXI platform, SLSC,
and modular instruments to enable hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) validation test for your
device under test (DUT). Use the ITS-16250 Mass
Interconnect PCB Assembly to connect the ITS-16200 to the DUT.
The Inverter Test System includes the following models by default:
Motor model: Simulates the behavior of the motor. Runs on FPGA.
Power electronics model: Also known as the inverter circuit, simulates the
behavior of the power electronics switches. Runs on FPGA.
Powertrain model: Simulates the dynamics of the vehicle. Typically runs on
LinuxRT.
The following are examples of other models that can be supported by the Inverter Test
System:
Virtual ECUs: Simulate signals from other ECUs in the vehicle. Typically run
remotely or on LinuxRT.
Battery model: Simulates the behavior of the HV battery in the vehicle.
Typically runs on LinuxRT.
The Inverter Test System simulates a vehicle's power electronics and motor in the FPGA.
It also simulates the battery and powertrain in LinuxRT. The Inverter Test System is
physically connected to the inverter controller DUT, which behaves as if it were
connected to a real vehicle. By default, the motor and power electronics are modeled
using OPAL-RT's Power Electronics Add-on, which requires parameterization. To model a
vehicle, compile your vehicle's model using the instructions in Preparing a Simulink Model for Inverter Test.Figure 1. Inverter Test System Models
