Hardware In The Loop

Hil AND CUSTOM TEST BENCH FOR testing purposes

Our Hardware in the Loop (HIL) solutions are tailor-made on customer need, without any compromises. We have more than 10 years of experience in design specific apparatus for testing of automotive ECU and power electronics controllers for Electric Vehicles (EV), e-Mobility, and power converters.

HIL solutions are based on National Instruments VeriStand software platform. The typical hardware solution is based on an NI RT platform (such as RT-PC, PXI, cRIO)  with the addition of other I/O modules from National Instruments, third party manufacturers and Alma Automotive’s custom electronics.

Alma Automotive experience can help you to test, design, verify and validate (V&V) industrial and automotive devices.

We can tune the computational power of the test bench on request. The National Instruments multi-platform approach makes it possible to scale the real time processor, from Arm® based computers to the latest Intel® based platforms. The system also includes a powerful FPGA to meet the most demanding real-time capability requirements.

Modularity HIL platform is based on:

• Signal Conditioning Chassis: it hosts the conditioning modules and powers the NI I/O HW
• Breakout Box: it hosts several kinds of connectors to simplify the access to test signals
• FIU block: it hosts powers and controls the fault insertion unit modules
• Load Rack: it hosts the DUT loads that cannot be simulated. Fast change to rearrange the application. Custom made.

Alma Automotive will select the building blocks to fit exactly your application.
