Reconfigurable test controller

Our simulation controller is specifically designed for building HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) systems, enabling advanced testing and validation of embedded software in electronic control units for complex systems. HIL testing reduces development time by simulating intricate scenarios that are challenging to reproduce in laboratory or field environments. With years of expertise in HIL system development and integration, we have crafted a versatile controller that meets the rigorous demands of various industries. Built on a reconfigurable industrial system, it features a real-time controller, FPGA, and modular connectivity for up to ten modules, ensuring minimal response delays and high-performance digital processing. Compatible with Kepstronic and third-party control modules (such as PXI series R modules), our solution delivers reliable, deterministic operation and supports both industry-specific and custom applications tailored to client requirements.

The RTC chassis is a case that can be either desktop or rack-mounted (19”). The chassis provides power and cooling for the controller and modules, and also contains a communication board. Modules installed in the chassis connect directly to the FPGA, without buses or intermediate elements, ensuring minimal control delays and maximum synchronization between modules.

The RTC controller consists of a processing system and programmable logic. The processing system operates under a real-time operating system, ensuring reliability and determinism for the tasks performed. The programmable logic facilitates interaction with the modules, as well as high-speed control and digital data processing.
