Hitting a Moving Target - Designing a HILS Test Rig for an Electric Vehicle Startup Company
Imagine the challenge. You are working for an electric vehicle (EV) startup company, designing the Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation (HILS) test system. Everything is new – the hardware, the software, the tools, the testers and the test code. Yet, the system must be as accurate as possible in order to correctly simulate the operating environment. You’re also working on the electronic control unit (ECU), which houses the EV batteries. In order to test them thoroughly, they will need to be stressed beyond their normal operating range. Since the test environment can be quite dangerous – you will need a blast-proof bunker.
